I have a problem concerning the archive-request mechanism that is in place at SIMTEL20. It seems that when I attempt to get the <CPM.STARTER-KIT> files (in particular USQ120.COM), I receive the file in a 'squeezed' format. Well, needless to say, I cannot unsqueeze this file (I am using the SEND RAW PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>USQ120.COM request command.) Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way of getting a USQ120.ASM? Or have I yet to fly the required number of bombing missions? Is Major Major in? Oh, he is only 'in' when he is not here? :-) Thanks in advance, Dave Long KU-CS BITNET: CSNET@UKANVAX.BITNET CSNET: long@csvax.ukans.edu

Dave, The "RAW" format applies only to ASCII text files. Thus, your "Catch-22" observation is quite valid. The following HEX versions of those key files now exist, which you can request in "RAW" format: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT> UNARC.HEX-Z80.1 ASCII 9928 3613H UNARCA.HEX-8080.1 ASCII 11459 4B24H USQ120.HEX.1 ASCII 4382 AEA9H UUDECODE.HEX.1 ASCII 25555 50F5H --Frank
