Recently hack 3.6 was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc (I guess, it ended up in
junk here). I used uudecode on our machine and then d/led the arc file.
When I tried to unARC the file, and the machine locked up. I am using Pkxarc
version 3.4 and SEA ARC v5.1. It did the same thing with each program.
Someone else complained about a munged part 2, but I looked at my copy, and
it appeared fine. Is anyone else having this problem?

No problems here yet. I used 4.2bsd and PKXARC. -- Harlan WD0HTV ......seismo!nbires!nbisos!nbifet!harlan

The UNIX one will go to comp.sources.misc; the MS-DOS uuencode to comp.binaries.ibm.pc; and I will write a shar program which will contain the UNIX crc'er and will automatically concatenate and crc-check the uuencode. (Something like the result of "makekits".) This will catch any errors in transmission; and you can save the output, then run the DOS CRC checker after kermit/xmodem/whatever'ing the program to your system and make sure they're the same. (Given the CRC maker source, you can uudecode the program on the UNIX side and still be able to CRC it.) On the other hand, if nobody minds incompatibility, I can probably hack up a shar that contains a decoder with CRC checking that can do it all, thus allowing the whole thing to be checked with minumum shar space taken. ++Brandon -- ---- Moderator for comp.sources.misc and comp.binaries.ibm.pc ---- Brandon S.
