I just added Andy Harper's latest version of VMS_SHARE, v8.1, to the WKUVX1 FILESERV. VMS_SHARE packages files for mailing, automatically breaking up large files into smaller parts. Files are encoded to protect them from the harmful effects of some mailers. This new VMS_SHARE supports encoding of binary files, though it doesn't do as well as MFTU does (which is to be expected given the different methods). VMS_SHARE is distributed as a ZIP archive. Consequently, you'll need UnZip v5.0 to decompress the files. If you just want the UnZip .EXE file (linked under VMS v5.1), you can ask for the package UNZIP_EXE. The files will be available via anonymous ftp shortly from ftp.spc.edu (it's apparently down at the moment); you'll need: [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]VMS_SHARE.ZIP To get the new VMS_SHARE via e-mail, send the following commands (without the comments) in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET: SEND VMS_SHARE SEND UNZIP_EXE !If you don't have UnZip v5.0 You can get the latest ZIP and UNZIP by sending the following commands: SEND ZIP-UNZIP SEND FILESERV_TOOLS Or as ZIP-UNZIP.BCK_Z at ftp.spc.edu.
