[mod.computers.vax] Request for VMS to UNIX file tranfer program

MIKE@BUCASA.BITNET (02/12/86)

I am working on a vms4.2 system.  I need a stand alone tar or
dump program to easy file transfer from my computer to a Unix
System.  Do you know of any available, preferably public domain.
Thanks much in advance.

You might try a product from DEC called DECSHELL.  It is a Bourne Shell
which you can choose to replace DCL on a VMS/VAX.  It is suppose to
(I haven't tried it) have a tar command built in to read/write tar tapes.

It is hardly public domain.
