This note is to announce a new version of VMSSweep. V3.4 has added
support for the newest compression method used by ARC (V5.2) and PKARC
- Squashing.
I have finally found an ARC file that uses the new Squashing
compression of ARC (and PKARC). I have tested the support in V3.4 of
VMSSweep and it seems to work OK for Squashing.
The new version of VMSSweep can be found at:
CLO""::DISK$USER1:[COBURN]VSWPV34.FOR
There has been problems detecting truncated ARC files (VMSSweep loops
forever). I believe that I have fixed this. Please let me know of any
problems.
PLEASE NOTE - VMSSweep is designed to work for most RMS file formats,
the main format that it will NOT read correctly is Stream_LF. You must
convert the ARC file using the CVTARC program. Also, VMSSweep is a way
to *examine* ARC files on a VAX running VMS before downloading.

| 1954.1 | Small typo | CLO::COBURN | When will THEN be NOW? ...SOON! | Tue Dec 06 1988 14:28 | 22 |
I found a problem with the posted VSWPV34.FOR. It is a typo in the subroutine
DeComp_LZW_Var( Vers ). A code fragment follows:
c Start of code
Version = Vers
c Check maximum number of bits used in code
If ( Version .eq. 8 ) Then ! Crunch
Max_Bits = 13 <--- Change the 13 to 12 and it will be OK
Call Get_Char( Code )

I updated the source file at 14:30, Tuesday. You may either recopy or
make the above fix.

| 1954.2 | ZOO (V1.0) support added | CLO::COBURN | When will THEN be NOW? ...SOON! | Mon Dec 12 1988 19:43 | 17 |
Good news -- The addition of the UnSquashing capability to VMSSweep
made it a very simple matter to ZOO support to the program. The change
has been completed and seems to work just fine. The ZOO information
came from the public domain VOOZ code from Rahul Desi.
The source can be located at:
CLO""::DISK$USER1:[COBURN]VSWPV35.FOR
NOTE - Please do not use wildcards to access this file. My System
manager is about ready to cut off access because of the Security Alarms
being generated. The above is the name of the file and will not change.
If I add more features I'll post a new reply. Also, CLO is a poor
overloaded 750/MicroVAX II cluster. Please keep accesses to after
hours. Thank You.
