- I just added Andy Harper's latest version of VMS_SHARE, v8.1, to
- the WKUVX1 FILESERV.
-
- VMS_SHARE packages files for mailing, automatically breaking up large
- files into smaller parts. Files are encoded to protect them from the
- harmful effects of some mailers.
-
- This new VMS_SHARE supports encoding of binary files, though it
- doesn't do as well as MFTU does (which is to be expected given the
- different methods).
-
- VMS_SHARE is distributed as a ZIP archive. Consequently, you'll need
- UnZip v5.0 to decompress the files. If you just want the UnZip .EXE
- file (linked under VMS v5.1), you can ask for the package UNZIP_EXE.
-
- The files will be available via anonymous ftp shortly from
- ftp.spc.edu (it's apparently down at the moment); you'll need:
-
- [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE
- [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]VMS_SHARE.ZIP
-
- To get the new VMS_SHARE via e-mail, send the following commands
- (without the comments) in the body of a mail message to
- FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:
-
- SEND VMS_SHARE
- SEND UNZIP_EXE !If you don't have UnZip v5.0
-
- You can get the latest ZIP and UNZIP by sending the following
- commands:
-
- SEND ZIP-UNZIP
- SEND FILESERV_TOOLS
-
- Or as ZIP-UNZIP.BCK_Z at ftp.spc.edu.
