Ok, I realize re-downloading the images can be a nuisance, but
I found that if you can write *over* an existing image then getting
the right blocking for these two images is a piece of cake and
then I don't need to hunt down somebody elses package.

What I did was copy SYSBOOT.EXE to TK1.IMG, and to TK2.IMG. The
blocking is already at 512 bytes/block. Granted I was pulling things
off one tape to put on another so the copy was easier, and I suppose
but don't know that there's a way to do it in kermit (although over
a net would be ok, no?)

The copy command for me was something like:
	copy/trunc/over mua0: tk1.img
and then again for a tk2.img, although truncate is not necessary there.
