Often I work by modem from home, but lacking a printer, I wrote the following shell script to ship Unix text files to my wife's VMS shop. Now she can bring a listing home in the evening along with the bacon. See, VMS really is good for something! Create this script in your bin as vmsend and edit it so the <CR> is a real ascii \015 and the <^Z> is a real ascii \026. (Obviously I couldn't send these through the mail.) Preserve the backslashes in front of the <CR>'s. Then run the thing within cu via: ~$vmssend FILENAME The command file turns off the local echo in VMS and seems to run fine at 1200 baud.

FLAME!!!! The idiot (:-) who posted the previous message meant to say that the <^Z> should be ascii 032, not ascii 026.
