FTP Quick screens under VMS

[Clark, Andrew]

Thanks for your feedback - 

However we have already tried this and found that when FTPing as either
ASCII or Binary the outcome was the same, in both cases the subfile
block size was reduced to 512, causing errors in PowerPlay...

By the way we operating on VMS 6.2 using VAX and Dec Alpha machines if
this helps any further?

Thanks again...

	I have found that when FTPing portable subfiles, use ascii for
the
	dictionary portion and binary for the data portion (or visa
versa, it been
	a long time!). I am not sure this is your problem but we had to
do this
	from a HP3000 to a HP9000.
