- Re: ftp games at Marquette
-
- Well, well. I hadn't realized how game-starved VMS folks could be. Our
- ftp site here was flooded with users; this would normally be okay, but
- our anon-ftp site is not supposed to be used as a public-access archive,
- it was meant for other uses (don't ask me, I just work here). So for
- those of you who didn't ftp the games in time, I'll post them all here;
- executables are UUENCODEd and run through the VMS_SHARE package.

- Re: How to decompress the files if you got them from Marquette's ftp
-
- Sorry, I can't help much. I used Dec/Shell to tar the files. To
- unarchive the files, first decompress them (the standard Unix compress
- program's command is: $ compress -d file.tar to decompress
- file.tar.Z; our VMS version assumes _Z is added to the filename rather
- than .Z, but otherwise works the same). Then, to untar:
- $ SPAWN/CLI=SHELL
- $ tar -xvf file.tar
- $ exit
-
- Enjoy!
