Do you mean indexed files?  G Not knowing what your "routine" does, it's hard to say how to "do that"  with anything else.   F    If you plan only to store the files on the PC (and not actually useA them there), you could use the Info-Zip Zip program ("zip -V") to G compress the file first.  (With "-V", Zip saves the RMS file attributes B in the archive.)  Then use binary FTP to send and retreive the ZipH archive.  UnZip on the VMS system should then restore the RMS attributesD when it extracts the files.  (No special options needed for UnZip inF this case.)  (Note that you _could_ still use the files on the PC this/ way, but you'd need to UnZip them there first.)          http://www.info-zip.org/  D If you do this, you'll probably be happier using the latest releasedB versions (Zip 2.31, UnZip 5.52).  (With VMS V6.2, if your files orH archives are bigger than 2GB, then you're doomed.  Otherwise, what could go wrong?)      G    For BACKUP save sets, there are procedures available on the Internet E which can automatically repair files whose attributes were altered by G binary FTP.  If your files are not BACKUP save sets, you might still be F able to adapt the procedures to suit your needs.
