FISHER%RPICICGE.BITNET@wiscvm.ARPA (John S. Fisher) (10/30/86)
I have produced a utility program like VMSSWEEP but for the IBM VM/SP environment. It is called ARCUTIL and provides the following functions: o UUDECODEing of files received from ARCHIVE-REQUEST. o Fracturing of ARC and LBR library files. (DLE-packing, Huffman and LZW variant decompression supported.) o ASCII to EBCDIC translation. Carriage returns, line-feeds and form-feeds are rendered as ASA carriage control; tabs are expanded to the equivalent number of spaces. I consider the present version of ARCUTIL to be in a sort of pre-release state and not quite ready for submission to the SIMTEL20 archives. **However** any brave individual out there with a VM/SP system on BITNET who would like to play with my pre-release version (and help me shoot any remaining bugs) should send a request directly to me. I expect ARCUTIL will be ready for full public dissemination by Christmas. JSFisher FISHER@RPICICGE
