Is there an ARC/UUDECODE version for VMS? Could someone send it to me, or tell me where I can get it from? Thanks in advance, Nik Zapantis UVIC, Physics Victoria, BC (604) 721-7729 system@uvphys.bitnet

Sources for ARC floated around a month or two or three ago, and I made the trivial changes necessary to work it on a VAX/VMS system, for the same reason (my Atari is connected to the world through my VAX, as is my PC/AT). UUENCODE and UUDECODE are a dime a dozen, and you don't really have to make any changes to the UNIX version to get it to work right. There might be something minor like changing index() to strchr(). I'm going to DECUS, so I'll make ARC available somewhere, somehow, sometime when I get back. While we're on the subject of Atari computers near VAX/VMS systems, I've written a nice little utility for the VAX that translates Degas image bitmaps into QMS QUIC code for the QMS laser printers, known as Lasergrafix or Talaris depending. I've posted it to the info-vax mailing list, so it will appear on Usenet in newsgroup comp.os.vms or some such (maybe mod.computers.vax if that still exists?). It went out yesterday.
