I have been trying to send things to another computer for downloading.
Until now, I thought the problem was with my downloading process,
but I'm beginning to suspect my UUENCODER. I have to UUENCODE things
to send them throught the mail. However, everything that I encode,
when edited, reports: 'INPUT FILE NOT STANDARD RECORD FORMAT' or
something like that. I have tried several different versions of
UUENCODE, with the same results every time. Also, it seems that
the end of the file is getting munged. Can someone suggest a way
to solve this problem? Do I need to change some of my settings??
Thanks in advance,
- Chris

| 1829.1 | if EDT and VMS... | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Fri Oct 28 1988 16:28 | 15 |
EDT reports the message you described if its input file is not
variable-length records, with CR carriage control. If UUENCODE
uses default record attributes from the VAX C run-time library,
it writes files that are stream LF, which will cause this message.
To see if this is indeed the problem, do a DIRECTORY/FULL of the
file output by UUENCODE.
I don't know why MAIL should be unwilling to transmit such a file.
It's a perfectly good VMS file format, just not the standard one.
If you would like to try converting the file to standard format,
read it in with EDT, and use EDT's WRITE command to write a new
file. EDT's WRITE command (unlike EXIT) always writes a file
in standard format.
