If you want to transmit a binary file from one computer to another over
a communications line and you don't have KERMIT, or MODEM7, or TRANSF
available at both ends, you will find the programs BITOAS and ASTOBI
useful.  BITOAS converts a binary file to an ASCII printable file (with
imbedded checksum information) using a 2-to-3 compression algorithm.
ASTOBI converts the resulting ASCII file back to the original binary
form.  To send a binary file
   1. Transmit the source of ASTOBI to the remote system, and compile
      and link (taskbuild?) it.
   2. Run the binary file through BITOAS on your local system.
   3. Transmit the resulting ASCII file to the remote system.
   4. Run the ASCII file through ASTOBI on the remote system to
      reconstruct the original binary there.  If any transmission
      errors occured, ASTOBI will report the problem but will not
      be able to fix up the file, so you will have to transmit again.
