I have recently saved a bunch of uuencoded files off the network. I then have extracted them using uudecode. This then leaves me with a binary arc format file. I have then downloaded this file using Kermit from the Pyramid (on which I access the network) to my AT&T 6300 running DOS 2.11. When I go to dearc the files, though, I get a CRC error. This has happened consistently over at least three arc files sent in uuencode format. Any suggestions? -- Ari Zymelman

You need to issue the command "set file type binary" to Kermit before transmitting the file.

If you didn't, all instances of 0x0a (linefeed) got changed to the two- character sequence CR/LF, which throws arc. One quick way to check for that is to do a "ls -l" on the Pyramid, and compare the size of the archive there with the size of the archive on your 6300. If it is not exactly the same, then that might be the cause of your problem. Wolf Paul ihnp4!killer!dcs!wnp

Did you set kermits file type binary?

I too had this nearly identical problem but in my case it was due to kermit on both ends not being in the correct modes. If the modem connection is in 7 bit mode (like ours) then you have to be sure that the '8th bit quote character' feature is operating on both ends. (In Procomm kermit this is accomplished by having the port in 7 bit mode and "File type" option set to "binary".) I also recall that having the "space" parity mode was also important. Furthermore, the corresponding kermit on our Unix systems required the "-i" option so that is would send the file without any conversions. --------------- Jerrold L.

Any suggestions? > > -- Ari Zymelman There is a program floating around somewhere in net-land that will allow you to download the .uue file to your pc and then uudecode it into a working file. Our pyramid system here only supports 7 bit file transfers so it has been a Godsend for me. You may be able to find it on the comp.binaries.ibmpc group. If not, drop me a line and I'll mail it to you. It also includes a routine to uuencode a file before uploading to a system. -Richard Dervan -- Richard Dervan - Office of Computing Services Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!ccoprrd ARPA: ccoprrd@pyr.ocs.gatech.edu
