Hello Listservists:
 
I hope that I am not writing to the wrong list on this, but I have been unable
to find another answer for a problem that I have:
 
I am attempting to install software received from a LISTSERV.  We are a CMS
SP5 environment, and I am looking to GET filetype MODULEs from several list
servers.
 
We are not networked via BITNet or BITNet II, and are using standard IBM SMTP.
 
Is there a way that I can receive MODULE and the like files?  I have written
an LPUNCH reader, but when I get files from my system I find that the
record counts are invalid, apparently even the 80 byte records are somehow
being forwarded incorrectly by the mailer.
 
One person suggested that I use the BINARY option for file transfer, but I
can't find anything resembling that in the documentation that I have.
 
So, the question is:  it this possible?  And, if so, how?
 
I appreciate the help, and would appreciate replies directly to me as I am not
yet able to read this list with any frequency.
 
Regards,
