| If the problem is that lines are concatenated together, you might try
unzipping the text files on VMS with "unzip -a <zipfile> *.com" (for
example).
Text files created on UNIX are line-terminated with <LF>. On Microsoft
OS's, lines are terminated with <CRLF>. Text files on VMS can be
either, but the file's RMS record format has to be correct. "unzip -a"
auto-converts from whatever format the file was stored in to whatever
format is appropriate for the platform you're on. There are also other
switches you can use to force the conversion in a particular way.

| 5.2 | still cannot unzip... | BUSY::BETTRO | | Wed Feb 12 1997 07:28 | 9 |
| Tried as suggested in .1 but get " unknown compression method"
and all zero block files...I used a vmsunzip.exe.
Any other suggestions?
Does anyone have this working anywhere on VMS?
Thanks,
Joe

| Sounds like you can unzip the file to some extent, so I assume the ZIP
file itself is OK, has the right record format, etc. Strange, though,
that you were able to extract them once but not a second time.
Check your version of ZIP (just type "$ unzip"). If you have something
earlier than V5.12, you may just have a version that doesn't handle
some of the newer compression methods or maybe has a different meaning
for "-a". You can steal our copy of V5.12 from
CFSCTC::PUBLIC$LIB:UNZIP.EXE (see UNZ* and ZIP* for the whole pile).
Sorry, I haven't actually tried to install the VMS version.

| 5.4 | Old unzip... | BUSY::BETTRO | | Tue Feb 18 1997 01:56 | 8 |
| Thanks Tom,
My UNZIP.exe was 4.01...quite old. I've unzip the package and things
look readable with the unzip you pointed me to...
Now I'll see if I can get anywhere with it.
Thanks again!

| 5.6 | There's a mailing list for the VMS version... | TWICK::PETTENGILL | mulp | Wed Apr 23 1997 14:20 | 7 |
| And an updated port to VMS.
Go to the samba page and link to the page for the vms port.
On that page you will find the pointer to the latest zip file
plus information on how to get on the samba vms list. Not a lot
of traffic, but up to date status on the port and problems being
seen.
