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?

Thanks,
