- I'm still trying to get any archives to successfully decompress and then detar.
- In order to reduce the number of variables affecting this situation, I'm going
- to try to take the advice posted and receive the tar.Z file directly to the
- A/UX disk using A/UX tools.
-
- This essentially means I need to use Kermit to transfer the files, since I
- don't have an ANSI C compiler needed to compile ZMODEM!! I've been having
- difficulty getting Kermit to transfer the file, however. I issue the
- "set line \dev\tty0" command, the "set modem hayes", "set speed 2400" commands,
- and then issue the "dial <phone number>" command. I successfully connect to
- the remote system, and issue the command "connect" to begin a terminal session.
-
- Then, in the remote system, I start up Kermit on that side, do "set file type
- binary", and then "send gcc-2.3.1.bin.tar.Z". I then escape back to my side,
- (using control-\ C), type "set file type binary" for my side, and then type
- "receive". (I've also tried receive gcc.2.3.1.bin.tar.Z). However, nothing
- then happens. I see what appears to be the start protocol appearing on my
- screen:
- %T%T%T%T%T%T%T%T%T etc.
-
- After a while, my side gives up.
-
- Help?!
-
- Thanks again,
