When comparing the file sizes they would be different For some reason when transfering the files the Vax machine would change the size of the file, which would cause the extract process to bomb saying the last file of each distribution set was corrupt. I solved this problem by setting the transfer to BINARY then set type to IMAGE, this resulted in the proper number of bytes to be copied. Hope this helps A.Allison allison@gaul.csd.uwo.ca
