Has anybody managed to UUDECODE the digitized music program OXYGEN from ATARINET? The four parts of the UUENCODED file are something in excess of 790K. I can't even manage to stick the four parts together without running out of memory on my lowly 1040. I have even contemplated jumping in with a disk editor and spotwelding the files together by dickering with the FAT and DIRECTORY (on a backup disk). Is there a better way? Is it all worth it? BTW I have a monochrome system. Is it going to work? Thanx in advance. /JT John Turnbull, NetNorth: 051332@uottawa 30 Somerset Ave, BITNET: 051332@uottawa Dept. of Biology, ARPAnet: 051332%uottawa.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu Univ. of Ottawa, UUCP: ...!psuvax1!051332%uottawa.BITNET Ottawa, Ontario, JANET: 051332%uottawa@rl.earn CANADA, K1N 6N5.

Then uudecode onto your RAM disk, then unarc onto another disk. I have a monochrome system also. It works really great! It reads in a 650K digitized music file and plays it in about a minute and a half. Obviously, it won't work with a 512K system. If you need a cat program, I might be able to find the one that some kind person on this net sent to me. Good luck! Maurice BITNET: MCLI_SS@UORDBV, MCLISS@UORVM UUCP : ...rochester!ur-tut!mcli

If you really have your heart set on hearing Oxygene, it would be easier to pay $4.00 (plus $1.00 postage) for the disk from the Current Notes library. The data file alone is over 500K, way too much to transfer via network. I believe that a list of the current disks in the Current Notes library passed through comp.sys.atari.st a few weeks ago ... If you need their address, send me a mail message. -- Dave Meile davidli@simvax.labmed.umn.edu davidli@simvax.bitnet
