This applies to Alpha and VAX object files: because the record structure 
is lost during ftp-style transfers. A binary transfer from Linux/Unix to 
VMS creates a fixed record structure on VMS. That's wrong, it is a 
variable length record structur. A binary transfer from VMS to 
Linux/Unix transfers the data of the records not the length fields. So 
you have to have some pre- or postprocessing on the VMS side. And you 
can't avoid this with an archiver.
