650.0. "Uniterm20e Problem" by CSC32::COMULADA () Mon Oct 30 1989 09:23

    Last night I tried several times down line loading Uniterm V2e from
    Peovax:: and Oldtmr:: and in both cases I kept getting errors after 
    I unarc'd it. I tried 2400, 1200 baud rates with no differences. I
    tried using the new unarc.prg which I also downline loaded and unarc'd
    which seemed to do ok. Has anyone else had problems with this uniterm
    version2e?
              Does anyone know wherea good version of this resides. The
    errors I was getting was 2 or bombs,tos#35 and hangs on pressing the
    help function.

650.1	Are you sure it's a problem with the archive?	OLDTMR::WALLACE		`Mon Oct 30 1989 10:29`	4
	What did you use to do the download? Have you successfully downloaded .ARC files before? Ray
650.2	For general information	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ		`Mon Oct 30 1989 10:38`	2
	Have you read PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]XFERINTRO.TXT?

	Reply to the last two. I sit beside Felix. He is an old hand at d/l loading. That's been our job for the last 10 years. If you'll notice in his opening reply he says he d/l loaded several other files successfully.
650.4	If it's broke I'll get a new copy	OLDTMR::WALLACE		`Mon Oct 30 1989 13:03`	7
	I'll check it out and put another copy in my directory (OLDTMR::) if it is indeed bad. Appologies for reading .0 to fast and missing the mention of a successfull download. Ray
650.5	Check it out.....	CSC32::COMULADA		`Mon Oct 30 1989 15:16`	5
	Thanks forthe quick response guys. As Mike on .3 indicated, I did manage to d/; other files with no problems, except for Uniterm. I used xmodem, but thats what I've used before with o problems. I appreciate your checking it out and putting another copy on if needed....thanks again..let me know when and if you re-copy it...
650.6	I suspect there is nothing wrong with the file	OLDTMR::WALLACE		`Mon Oct 30 1989 15:20`	5
	In that case I would suggest you do read the file Jeff mentioned in .2. You can not download the .ARC files on OLDTMR:: using XMODEM without first running them through CVTARC. Ray
650.7	Isn't this an ancient echo from about a year ago?	CSC32::MORGAN	Cybernetic Society Arrives Today!	`Mon Oct 30 1989 16:59`	6
	We now think that some conversion program needs running on the setup file. I remember that happening before on an earlier version. Just for my information why do we need to run cvtarc on these programs? We aren't using Kermit, but xmodem after breaking the program into 128 byte blocks with our own proven program.
650.8	xmodem needs stream-lf files	OLDTMR::WALLACE		`Tue Oct 31 1989 11:44`	5
	My understanding is that xmodem expects stream-lf and can cause the downloaded file to be corrupt if the file on the VAX was not stream-lf. The ARC file on OLDTMR:: is in fixed 512 byte file format. Ray
650.9	No more problems	CSC32::COMULADA		`Tue Oct 31 1989 12:25`	5
	Thanks again...Well I tried it again last night using cvtarc,then xmodem several times, no go..finally gave up and tried using Kermit. I reloaded Uniterm from OLDTMR::,cvt it, and it worked fine using Kermit. Guess I'll stay with kermit for a while or try Ymodem next. Thanks again for the support...
