I got the C version of dvitovdu from ymir.claremont.edu in the DRIVERS directory. It is tarred, compressed, btoa'ed and split in three pieces. I had to get btoa and atob (from ftp.uu.net comp.sources.misc, vol. 6 - is there a more recent version?) and tried it. I do cat the_pieces | atob > dvitovdu.tar.Z and try to uncompress. Uncompress complains about illegal input. I btoa the result and compare it with the original - they are different. So either my btoa/atob is bad or the files in ymir are bad. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has gotten past this? I also tried to look in the DRIVERS directory in ftp.shsu.edu. But ftp complains that the directory cannot be opened. I have no problems with other directories. George, can you check? Of course, dvitovdu is what I am really after. Archie revealed nothing. Can anybody point to an anonymous ftp site other than the above? Or is anyone able to provide me the source through e-mail?
