[comp.emacs] Unpacking GNU Emacs 18.54 on VMS

DAVISM@kcgl1.eng.ohio-state.edu (Michael T. Davis) (05/04/89)

	I managed to successfully ftp edist.tar-18.54.Z from prep.ai.mit.edu
and DECOMPRESS_V50.EXE from cc.utah.edu.  I say "successfully" since I can
"decompress emacs-1854.tar sys$output" and see what's in the file.  However,
what I'd LIKE to do is issue some form of the decompress command so that
the uncompressed files are automagically written to some form of directory
structure (which would probably be the second parameter to the command,
rather than a single output file).  Can I do this? Or is there a Better Way?

							Thanks,
							 Mike
