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.
