Hi Roc,

I beg your pardon - my fault....

I was using VISTA 1.26; looking at Tom Brennan's site I saw between the bugs fixed in version 1.27:

"P0853 05/28/09 CUT mode binary file transfer has errors in translation tables. Fixed"

So I installed version 1.27 and (as predictable) also binary file transfer works perfectly.

Sometimes I'm a bit lazy in installing new software versions (I'm still using Win2K with great satisfaction, but for example I must use WinXP when I wish to recompile Hercules).

Regards.
