Conference hydra::amiga_v1

wjg::amiga:arc_unix.zoo is a version of ARC for Unix.

wjg::amiga:xmodem.c  may work on Unix

wjg::amiga:rzsz.arc is the source to ZMODEM which works fine under unix

john

Thanks.
 arc worked fine, but xmodem timed-out waiting for initial handshake.
 Anyone have a working ULTRIX xmodem?

Can someone point me to versions of lharc and zoo for Ultrix?

-peter

	You can copy zoo & lharc from cgou11::~guest/ , I currently just
	have risc versions available.

	Steve.

Thanks, Steve, risc versions are just what I preferred.
I just copied them over to my Ultrix 4.2 system and they work fine.

    (oops .. didn't wait long enough to see this note)
    
    Steve,
    
    Do you have sources/makefile as I have a VAX based ULTRIX (for now
    at least!) and would like the various utilities?

    There's always lots of good stuff on DECWRL::
    
    for example:
    
    decwrl::pub/comm/kermit/...
    decwrl::pub/comm/zmodem-part[0-4].shar
    decwrl::pub/comp.sources.unix/volume23/xmodem3.9/part0[1-3].Z
    decwrl::pub/comp.sources.misc/volume11/lharc/{part0[1-2],patch_sb}
    decwrl::pub/comp.sources.unix/volume15/arc5.21/part0[1-5].Z
    decwrl::pub/comp.sources.unix/volume11/zoo/part0[1-7].Z
    
    The file ls-lR on decwrl:: is a directory.

re: .7

Xnotes is nice, but only for "basic" reading.  Very few Notes commands
are available to you, so I find I jump back and forth quite a bit.

    I am about to show my ignorance of Ultrix and its file structures etc.
    I have recently changed my home workstation from a Vaxstation 2000 to a
    Decstation 3100 (Risc Box). I have started to collect together the
    tools that  I will need to do uploads and downloads. I have acquired
    C-Kermit and established communication with my VMS host from the
    DS3100. I intend to do Kermit-32 to C-Kermit transfers to get the files
    on to the DS3100 before downloading them to AMY.
    
     In  VMSland I quite often had to use CVTARC to convert files from 
    STREAM-LF to fixed length records when using Kermit-32 and then convert 
    back again once on the Vaxstation. I could then use Xmodem to do the 
    transfer between tha Vaxstation and AMY.  My problem is do I still need
    to do the conversion for downloads to the DS3100 using C-Kermit and
    Kermit-32?  If so,  where can I find a RISC-Ultrix version of CVTARC?
    
    	Thanks, in anticipation of your help.

The Amiga OS and Unix are co-conspirators in viewing files as nothing
more than streams of bytes. Because of this, any utility can read any
file without having to muck with format conversions on both systems.

    Welcome to the real world of workstations. No more waiting hours for
    boot up etc etc!
    
    PS You'll also get uuencode and uudecode

Why not use DECNET, TCP/IP, or UCX?

    re.13 Greg,
    		As my namesake would say "Lubbly Jubbly"
    
    re.14
    	Peter,
    		I will use TCP/IP when I have the workstation in the
    office.  But the majority of the time I work from Home using C-kermit
    to log in to my VMS host system. 
    
    			Regards to you both and thanks for the replies.

    I have been trying, for the last couple of days, to compile the sources
    for Lharc, Zoo, and Zmodem for VAX Ultrix and have been unable to do
    so.  I pulled the sources from decwrl::.  Does anyone have the VAX
    Ultrix binaries for the above utilities?  Thanks in advance.
    
    mark
    

    
    If you pulled the .tar.Z files off of DECWRL:: (or via anonymous
    ftp from gatekeeper.dec.com), then you should be able to uncompress
    and untar them on any ULTRIX system, regardless of architecture.
    Once you get that far, look in the ULTRIX directory you're using
    (preferably one you've created for the purpose for your own sanity's
    sake!) for a README file of some sort, and look through it. (These
    are basically release notes). Then invoke the 'make' utility and
    it should grind the binaries out for you.
    
    If you get into a real pinch, let me know offline and I'll try to
    walk you through it.
    
    However, one problem (which I went through a couple of months ago)
    is the proverbial chicken-and-egg, wherein you'll need the Amiga
    versions of the utilities on an Amiga floppy (or your hard disk),
    and about the only way to do that is locally (from a friend as I
    ended up doing) or by purchasing the appropriate Fred Fish disks
    from various suppliers advertising in the magazines.

    On:
    
    	JORUNE::/usr/users/george/zoo
    				  rz
    				  sz
    				  kermit
    
    These are VAX ULTRIX V4.2 binaries.  I'm eventually going to add
    lharc, arc, et al. but inst4ead I've been trying to convince mgmt
    to buy me a Risc DECstation. :-)

    RE: .18
    
    Ooops... the files are in /usr/users/george/bin on JORUNE.
    
    Srry,

    I now have zoo, lharc (xlharc), rz, sz, and zoo2lzh compiled and
    running on my VAXstation.  Thanks for all who replied.

    The VAX ULTRIX binaries for zoo, xlharc, rz, and sz as well as the
    script, zoo2lzh (which converts zoo archives to lharc archives), are
    available for a limited time at soomee:/tmp/bin
