Please excuse my ignorance - I'm new at this. I'm on a VAX 11/750 VMS 3.4.
Our FTP program does not do TENEX file type. I've been told that this is
what I need if I want to transfer files (non-ascii) from SIMTEL20.army.mil.
The reason I want to do this is that there are tons of neat *.arc files
(PD) for the ibm pc. The guy at simtel20 said I should use
the tenex type. Where/how can I add this to our site? I guess what I'd really
like is some code.

Second question. What is uuencode and uudecode, and how can I get this program?

Third question. What the heck is a shell archive, and how can I make/unmake
then\m. Remember - I'm not on a unix system.
