Now available from SIMTEL20... Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD:<MISC.VAXVMS> VMSSWEEP.FOR.28 ASCII 53386 ED78H I have modified V2.7 of VMSSWEEP to extend the EXTRACT and VIEW functions to process all of the members of library. It does this by accepting at the member number prompt a number greater than the maximum number of members, and interpreting this as "all members". The prompt indicates this option by suggesting "(9999 for all)". It also fixes a problem in which unacceptable VMS file names were generated if the member names had the 8th bit set. I don't know how such libraries got created in the first place, but this version strips 8th bits off of the file names. This version does NOT correctly handle members CRUNCHed with the latest LZW algorithm, which typically have names of the form "*.?Z?". VMSSWEEP will hang on these files. Incidentally, V2.7 corrected the problem with some .ARC libraries which caused older versions to report CRC errors. This showed up in the DRACO libraries. I have taken the liberty of naming this version V2.8. Walt Lamia
