In reply to Furio Ercolessi's message, could he not simply use

CONVERT/FDL=BLAH DATAFILE.FOO DATASEND.BAR,

where fdl is an fdl taken of an simple file that will send over the net,
and the vms convert utility simply twists the file into it's new form???

wouldn't that be easier than all that coding you guys are talking about???
