Hello,
Has anybody out there had any experience in using the VMACS-filetransfer
program between VAX-workstations and MACINTOSH-machines?
I am told that the following features are valid:
1: One can store MACINTOSH files and applications on a VAX or
VAX-Workstation, and retrieve them from a MACINTOSH with standard
terminal-emulators.
2: Unlike KERMIT, VMACS remebers the full MACINTOSH-format of a file
,such as information of resources, icons, fonts etc.
3: It is in principle possible - however nontrivial - to establish
a connection between a, say a MACINTOSH application such as
PAGEMAKER or QUARK-XPRESS that supposedly produces a postscriptfile,
and POSTSCRIPT-laserprinter in a VMS-cluster.
Please refute these statements or correct them.
Any further hints on the use of VMACS or communication-problems
between MACINTOSH and the VMS-world in general, are most welcome.
I'm new at this game.....
