I wrote a small PC app to remove the wrq label so that I could
ftp the file myself. If anyone is interested.
(PC Mix-C compiler source, Makeftp.bat, unwrq.exe, notes)

UNWRQ strips the Reflection label from a label transfered file,
leaving a binary image of the file.

Many users of an HPe3000 use WRQ's Reflection as a terminal emulator.
Reflection file transfer provides three modes, ASCII, BINARY, and LABELS.
LABELS mode is used to preserve the file attributes from an HPe3000
in order to re-create the file when transfering back to an HPe3000.

Other HPe3000 users may use FTP to transfer files to/from an HPe3000.
FTP does not preserve file attributes; it transfers the file data only.

UNWRQ will remove a Reflection transfer label (if one exists) leaving
a binary file usable with FTP.

I only need to provide a Reflection LABELS transfered file for both
methods of transfering files to an HPe3000.
