| This is a bad answer since the problem that they have can not possibly be
fixed if rcp is used. Basically, we have a file with data and meta data
and be send it twice via rcp sans meta data. There is no way to recreate
the meta data no matter how many times it is transfered via rcp once it
is discarded.
!From talking with the engineering manager I get the impression the
!requested change is a major effort, measured in many person-months. I know
!we'll have it when we roll out an IPv6 implementation, but based upon the
!magnitude of the changes, we may not be able to justify (although we will
!definately look at the cost/benefit) the amount of the effort required to
!incorporate the change in the existing IPv4 product.
It should be possible to do it on OpenVMS V7.1 by doing something like
$pipe tar cf sys$output: file | compress sys$input: sys$output: | rcp sys$input: node:
and the complement on the reverse transfer.
