[comp.os.minix] Fixing shar files recieved on BITNET

KYY%NIHCUDEC.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu (M. DOBSON) (10/22/87)

Mail and files sent out by LISTSERV on BITNET are sent in LPunch format when th`
the
Line lengths/record lengths exceed the 80 character limits of many mailers.
Those people who use BITNET and are experiencing this problem can get a copy
of a Turbo Pascal or C program that will convert these files back by sending
the command 'INFO LPunch' to their nearest LISTSERV node BITNET.  This file,
when received, explain the LPunch format as well as provide the Pascal and C
sources.  You can even use the LISTLP.MEM file you will receive as a test file
for the conversion program.
