- The attached programs are totally free shareware. I currently use
- them while transmitting/receiving data between DOS, UNIX/XENIX, and
- MAINFRAME storage areas. These are great to use with Kermit.
- Below is a brief description of each program. Note that I have com-
- piled and tested each one in the following areas: UNIX/XENIX operating
- system, System 5, release 3; DOS, Microsoft Version 5.1.
-
- filecmpr.c : beats any file compressor I have seen in Unix. Compressing
- is a little slow but decompression is quite fast.
- I wish someone out there had the time to expand
- this into an arc/zip kind of utility so we could
- send archive files between DOS and UNIX.
-
- chgxmitf.c : creates/uncreates a printable ASCII file from
- any kind of input file. Use this to create good transmittable
- files that Kermit and other utilities will not corrupt.
-
- split_f.c : breaks up/puts back together large files for transmission.
- Great if you are transmitting over a noisy line and
- have a big file to transmit. See attached split_f.doc.

- I have not given any usage info here since you can get that
- by typing the executable name by itself. To compile in Unix:
- just do a 'cc'. In DOS, set up environment flag DOS; example
- cl -DDOS filecmpr.c with Microsoft; other compilers should have
- no problems with these. I created chgxmitf.c from scratch, the
- others were originally secured from DOS BBS's and modified to
- work in UNIX/XENIX.
-
- Have fun with these.
