[comp.windows.x] FTP'ing the Siemens RTL WM Sources

janssen@titan.SW.MCC.COM (Bill Janssen) (08/29/88)

When using the following script to obtain and uncompress the RTL sources,
I get (1) on a Pyramid, the error "corrupted source" error from uncompress,
and (2) on a Sun, a core dump from uncompress.  The partial tar file that
is created seems to end at doc/postscript/manual5.PS.  The script shown
below seems to conform to the README for the WM.  Any clues?  Thanks.

#! /bin/sh
set -x
ftp -v -i -n <<EOF
open expo.lcs.mit.edu
user anonymous janssen@mcc.com
cd contrib/rtl
type image
get rtl.tar.Z.aa
get rtl.tar.Z.ab
get rtl.tar.Z.ac
get rtl.tar.Z.ad
get rtl.tar.Z.ae
get rtl.tar.Z.af
get rtl.tar.Z.ag
get rtl.tar.Z.ah
get rtl.tar.Z.ai
get rtl.tar.Z.aj
get rtl.tar.Z.ak
get rtl.tar.Z.al
get rtl.tar.Z.am
get rtl.tar.Z.an
quit
EOF
cat rtl.tar.Z.* >rtl.tar.Z
uncompress rtl.tar.Z
# end of the script
