Regarding Jim Byrne's FTP/file encoding woes:
 
I'll answer this a little more completely when I get time (busy day) but
the problem with ASCII FTP transfers of byte stream files is a bug.  You
really didn't need to go to that much trouble.  You could have simply
used MOVER to attach the MPE/iX attributes, then compress (MOVER does some
compression but not like compress) then FTP the resulting file.Z in binary
mode.  No need to uuencode/uudecode unless you're trying to mail a binary.
