- It's actually not too bad if you use command line recall to get back
- to previous EXTRACT commands, & change the extension from 01 .. 47.
- (01 rather than just 1 because it makes the following step easier).
- Then just edit the first one to remove the usenet news header and do a
- COPY VMSNETREK.%%;0 VMSNETREK.COM (vms_share can handle removing the
- headers within the command file, you just have to remove the first
- one to get to the start of the real script). I agree that it would
- have been nicer to make the parts bigger; I don't think very many
- mailers would have had problems with files about 3x as large, so it
- could probably have been fit into about 15-16 parts which would have
- been somewhat easier to deal with.
-
- But I've got all the parts, and it appears that part 31 is incorrect --
- when I build it, the orbit.c and oldbitmap.h files get checksum errors,
- and looking at part 31 it appears to be from a different vms_share
- distribution: it appears to pick oldbitmap.h in a slightly different
- place from where part 30 left off, and it leaves off orbit.c in a
- different place than where part 32 picks up (duplicating code).
-
- The resulting sources won't compile (not surprisingly).
-
- Does anyone have a correct copy of part 31? I'd like to try to build a
- version that could run on something besides Wollongong... unfortunately
- it's often not so simple as changing the linkage libraries because
- not all TCP/IP packages use the same routine names.
