Hi Roc,

I found an issue that seems more related to VISTA emulator than to your excellent transfer program.

I tried the RECEIVE function using binary transfer and I found some mistakes: 'N' (hex 'D5') becomes '$' (hex '5B'); 'Q' becomes ';'; 'M' becomes ')', and also some other characters don't transfer correctly.

Out of curiosty I tried the same transfer with IND$FILE under VM/SP5
and I found the same mistakes using VISTA in CUT mode, while in DFT mode the transfer is correct.

Using VISTA in DFT mode with your program results in a CUT mode transfer (I guess that VISTA recognizes that the host doesn't support DFT).

Then I tried the king of emulators (IBM PCOMM), that works only in DFT mode, and as expected file transfer is OK with original IND$FILE and doesn't work with your program, that supports only CUT mode. 

Regards.
