- You can get VMSTAR, currently being maintained by Alain Fauconnet, via
- anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu; you'll need:
-
- [.MACRO32]LZDCMP.EXE
- [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]VMSTAR.BCK_Z
-
- You can also get it via e-mail by sending the following commands in
- the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:
-
- SEND VMSTAR
- SEND FILESERV_TOOLS
-
- Sources, objects, and a VMS v5.5 .EXE file are provided in both
- distributions.
