| 1264.1 | Use the VAX | WJG::GUINEAU | Do you know we exist? | Mon Mar 21 1988 09:47 | 4 |

I always unshar them on the VAX, then ARC 'em for AMY.

| 1264.2 | try re-compile?? | MVCAD3::BAEDER | D. Scott DTN 237-2961 SHR1-3/E19 | Mon Mar 21 1988 12:19 | 8 |
| I've never had any problems...Have you tried re-compiling the shar
code?? I know Dave Weckers one works fine on both vax and ami.
code (and vax exe) are in mvcad3::user0:[amiga.tools]shar.*

| 1264.3 | Answer? | WHYVAX::KRUGER | | Tue Mar 22 1988 10:48 | 4 |
| Did you uuedcode first? If the stuff looks like junk, you run uudecode
and THEN unshar.

| one other possibility - try a STACK 10000 before you use shar.

| 1264.5 | It was a stacksize problem | PAULUS::LUKAS | Dieter Lukas, DEC Frankfurt, @FRO | Thu Mar 24 1988 03:51 | 8 |

Thanks to all for your inputs,
it was a stacksize problem.
I tried to unshar with a stacksize of 10000 and it works fine
now.

| 1264.6 | whats wrong doc | MEO78B::MANDERSON | Amiga + '030 == MicroCRAY | Thu Jan 16 1992 17:48 | 15 |
| Well heres another shar/unshar problem....
I have ftp'ed some postscript font files from cica.cica uni.
In the ftpmail request I used binary and uuencode.
They came back as 4 seperate files as expected. now the fun part -
I run uudecode over the 4 concatenated (no header) files. this makes
the file named in the first line of the file (ftpmail.uu).
then running the vax zip over this to extract it it crashes on the
second file. I then tried to rerun zipover the first zip file extracted
- and it crashed after a few files.
any ideas on what I am doing wrong. I hope i dont have to keep
re-requesting the files from cica as there are a lot of them....

Typically after uudecoding something, you need to cvtarc the resulting file.
What I usually do is:
1. concatenate/delete headers on all parts
2. change the ftpmail.uu name to something more reasonable
3. uudecode it
4. cvtarc u <file>
5. lharc -l <file> (lharc, zoo, arc, whatever the format is)

| 1264.8 | Trailers, also... | STAR::DCARR | Guru: a 4-letter word to Amiga owners | Thu Jan 16 1992 22:39 | 1 |
| Don't forget those pesky internet trailers, too.

| 1264.9 | try UUCAT | ARRODS::GOLDSTEIN | Steve G. DTN: 847-5401 | Fri Jan 17 1992 04:12 | 34 |
|
There was a recent note regarding a new program that lets you
use the different file with the headers and trailers...
Here is the docs from it program
UUCAT.EXE is a VMS utility to concatinate a bunch of uuencoded file
segments received via FTPMAIL and uudecode them ignoring any header
or trailer information as it goes.
You must install it as a foreign command, ie:
$ uucat :== $disk:[user]uucat.exe
The command syntax is:
$ uucat file1 file2 file3 ... filen
where file1 file2 etc are segments of the file to be concatinated and
uudecoded. The segments must be listed in order! You of course can give
it a single file to be uudecoded as well. The resultant file is a uudecoded
stream-lf file already for file transfer etc!
Enjoy,
AMIGA::RIES, Frank
Hope this Helps.

| 1264.10 | Thanks, now to find UUCAT | MEO78B::MANDERSON | Amiga + '030 == MicroCRAY | Fri Jan 17 1992 08:32 | 7 |
| thanks - now to track down uucat.
Have also had a kind mail offer to help - and when we get further down
the track will post the files here (are a bunch of postscript fonts).
many thanks

| 1264.12 | another alternative... | STAR::DCARR | Guru: a 4-letter word to Amiga owners | Fri Jan 17 1992 16:59 | 9 |
| I didn't get a chance to mention this in my reply last nite, though
it's been referred to in other notes concerning this problem (if I could
only remember where). I've had good success with myuud.lzh (in the eot
upload area) which has a vms executable myuud.exe in the archive. I've
simply set up my foreign command as uud and let it run thru all the
previously concatenated files (with headers and trailers intact). It
knows enough to ignore them and has worked fine for me in the past.

| 1264.13 | SHAR which read VAXnotes extracts directly. | SNOFS1::GERAGHTY | Simon, SPR CS IS | Sun Jan 19 1992 20:03 | 27 |
| I have upload to EOT::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]NUSHAR.LZH (with NUSHAR.TXT) a modified
version of shar.c, as follows.
Here is a modified version of shar.c for AMIGA and VMS.
On VMS it can be used directly on VAXNotes extracts (including headers) to
unshar files. Just use the following:
$ shar == "$disk:[directory]shar.exe"
$ shar -u notes.txt
I also added some extra code to create subdirectories if the shar archive
specifies them. This works in most cases on AMIGA and VMS, but does depend on
the syntax encoded in the shar archive.
