[comp.sys.atari.st] GULAM PROBLEMS

jdn@homxc.UUCP (J.NAGY) (11/12/87)

Has anyone succesfully uudecoded the recent GULAM postings?
I found that all my byte counts were initially 2 bytes larger
than those posted, pesumably due to two extra blank lines at the
end of each file.  I deleted these extraneous blank lines, and all
the byte counts matched.  But when I try to to uudecode them, I
get the message "Short file", and indeed, my gulam.arc is only
22284 bytes. [My files are correctly named gulam.uaa, etc.] 

Any suggestions?

Yup.  I saved all three parts to one file.  Edited it with vi
and removed the header of the first part.  Searched for the
line that started with  include 
and deleted it down to the table line of the second part and
make it seamless, i.e.  all lines starting with   X
and did the same connecting the second part to the third part.
so when I finished the whole file looked the same (after the
first table header) with each line starting with the same character.
Ran uudecode on it.

Ditto for the doc file.  arc said they were ok, so I downloaded them
to the ST and de-arced them there.  They were fine and I've enjoyed
using the new Gulam.

Hope that helps.

I have noticed that it appears some people have received the Gulam files.
Unfortunately here, we seem to have only received the last three parts of
the Gulam docs. Anyway someone could resend the rest of those? If so thanks.
