| 1775.1 | Have you talked to your DIS folks? | RBW::WICKERT | MAA DIS Consultant | Fri Oct 14 1988 00:26 | 10 |

Have you called your local DIS folks? I can only speak for my own
area but we'd be willing to help out one of our customers (ie you
guys) if you had a good reason.
I know it's tough to know the right people to talk to but don't
take the first no. At least half the people in our area DIS would
say no the first time - you really need to find the right person.

I am on the same system you are on. From DT (Document Transfer)
you can run kermit. This is all you can do. Please don't get caught
Bogging! down the system during the day. Besides it makes 2:00
A.M. PM's a lot more pleasant. We used to have a lot more privellages
but they took them away from us about a year ago. About half of the
programs on the net cannot be downloaded with Kermit but it is better
than nothing. If you want more detailed information call me.

re: about half of the programs cannot be downloaded with Kermit...
??? with CVTARC you should be able to convert those programs to
a RMS file type that Kermit likes:
CVTARC U arcfile for use with kermit> SET FILE TYPE BLOCK
CVTARC U arcfile for use with kermit> SET FILE TYPE FIXED

| 1775.4 | Captive environment is rather restrictive... | BOMBE::MOORE | Where do you go when you're Toad Away? | Mon Oct 24 1988 18:56 | 2 |
| I think the gist of .2 is that they don't have access to DCL, so they
can't run CVTARC, etc.

re:.4
hmmm.. with SET FILE TYPE BLOCK kermit should be able to handle
STREAM_LF files. With SET FILE TYPE FIXED kermit should be able
to handle fixed length 510 byte files. No need to run CVTARC for
those files.
can kermit handle fixed length 128 bytes files? I guess my question
is what file formats in the pd directories can't kermit handle?
If there is any, perhaps the files in the pd directories should
be converted to something kermit can use, it would make life easier
for captive account users and new users.

| RE: .0
I'm in about the same situation as you, only I have access to DCL
after hours or on another machine. Give me a call at (904) 882-5665
during the day (7:30 - 4:30 Central Standard Time). I think we
might be able to work something out.

| 1775.7 | Try this | DPDMAI::ANDERSONA | | Fri Nov 04 1988 22:36 | 21 |
| I managed to down load some Stream_lf files using poly com from
All-In-One to a rainbow. Then Xmodem from a rainbow to the Amiga.
From the DT menu run polycom
from the Rainbow run XFR
then XFR>tofile/b from Fromfile/im
the /b must be on the MSDOS file side and the /IM must be on the
VMS file side.
I was able to down load Jessica.arc and the new la50 driver this
way.
Of course you must have copied the file over to your all-in-one
account. Isn't it strange that we can copy from all over the network
yet we can't use DCL. I'll never figure that logic out!!
-0 call me or send me mail if you want more info.

| 1775.8 | What Rainbow?? | DPDMAI::MARASKY | | Sun Nov 06 1988 00:46 | 6 |
| I'm not sure the meaning of the use of the rainbow. The only access
to the outside world of VAX that I have is through the AMI. It's
hell being a remote onsite in the middle of nowhere Tx.
