ARRRGGGH! I spend 2 hours to download UUEARC files from SIMTEL, or
get them from the Net, and they puke wonderfully when it comes to
PKXARCing them. A recent example was the Yahtzee game posted to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d, PKXARC: "is not an archive"!
Listen folks, I've being trying to get stuff off the Net and Simtel
for about 5 months now...it seems my success rate for getting files/programs
to work is about 2/15! All of the attempts seem to expire when I try to
unPKARC (V3.5) them.
We are running here in Calgary SunOS 4.0 and I'm either using the
UUENCODE/DECODE on the Sun or V2.14 by Richard Marks on my AT. I get files
from my BITNET account when I make requests from Simtel, then ship them home.
I use this SUN account to get things from the net..
I would be indebted forever to anyone who can shed light on this
situation. To the poster of 'Yahtzee': is that uuencoded file okay,
or is it just me....?
(Whew, sorry gang, had to let out a little steam there! ;-> )

When FTPing things from simtel, try setting type to TWENEX. This is a TOPS-10 system, after all. That should fix your problems. :The future belongs to the TOPS-20 loyalists.

Complaints, questions, problems, etc., on getting files from the
Simtel20 archives should be *netmailed* to me, not broadcast to the
whole world. Please give me a chance to help.
