- There was a lot of interest in the Western Digital Ethernet card
- software. There were also several offers to archive on an ARPAnet
- site. However, that does not help the uucp people. I asked uunet if
- they would archive but have received no answer yet.
-
- Therefore I will be posting the information. It was originally over
- 900K but that included some SCSI stuff. The Ethernet stuff was around
- 400K. After compression, it's about 250K.
-
- As I have commented elsewhere, I think the arc series of programs suck
- because they don't handle hierarchical filesystems. This WD data is a
- case in point. Since there has been a PD PC tar posted, I felt free to
- use tar.
-
-
- Here's what I did. I have PC-NFS linking my PC and my Sun so I am not
- as conscious of up/download time as 1200 baud modem users might be,
- but I think the final result can be done with only one transfer if you
- have a PC tar.
-
- (on Sun) tar cf wdpost.tar wdpost
- (on PC) pkarc -a wdpost.arc wdpost.tar
-
- Here is what I think you would do to receive it:
-
- pkxarc wdpost
- tar xf wdpost.tar
