Does anyone know how to get the OSTERM.PAK running on OS9 -MC6809? I used uudecode to get the binary file, then moved it from unix to my OS9 lvl2 system using the unix XM xmodem protocol. After setting the exec attribute under os9, and trying to load the program, all I get are module header incorrect errors. Was this program for RSDOS? Also, are there any instructions available for the pak? Kevin houser@mcnc

First, you need pak, which is an archiving program that someone wrote. Looks like it tries to be rather more like ARC than, say, Carl Kreider's AR program, but since I've not seen source nor dumped any .PAK files I couldn't tell you what .PAK files look like internally. (pak seems to be more widely known among Delphi users than among CIS users.) Once you have that, you use it to extract osterm from the .PAK file, set the attributes on the extracted file to allow execution, and then try it. I'm not sure whence one can snarf a copy of pak. I will look at the docs with my copy, and if it looks kosher to do so, I will see about shipping a copy off to Eric Tilenius (if he doesn't already have it in his COCOLIST file server). James Jones
