There is a program to handle ARC and LBR files on VAX-VMS... Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD:<CPM.VAXVMS> VMSSWEEP.FOR.3 ASCII 50461 92E5H C----------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Program used to provide LSWEEP and some ARC functionality on VMS C C VMSsweep will handle .LBR and .ARC* files and can be used to extract C members or just display them on the terminal if they are non binary C C Restrictions: C The VMS file must have a maximum record length of 4096 bytes. C The library file (.ARC* or .LBR) can only have 200 members C C Functions provided: C View a member at the terminal -squeezed or unsqueezed C Extract a member to a file (Max 510 byte records) C List the directory of a library file C New library file requested C C Author: C John T. Coburn Digital Equipment, Cleveland C Copyright (c) 1986 C C Please feel free to distribute this program by any noncommercial C means to anyone who can use it. C C * ARC is Copyright 1985,1986 by System Enhancements Associates C C This program was in general based on the Turbo Pascal program C DEARC that is in the public domain. Also referenced ARC sources C from System Enhancement Associates C C----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget there are option arguements to the SEND command when requesting files from ARCHIVE-REQUEST... SEND RAW is one of them. It should only be used for the initial transfer of files needed to bootstrap because it does no compression and therefore places a heavy load on the mail system. --Keith
