I assume you're running CoCo os9, osterm won't work on others, I'm sure! I can only get the pak in binary format, however, I could re-encode it using the Level I command BINEX, so if you have Level I, you can un- encode it with EXBIN. How's that? I'll also send you cuts that way too. Cuts is currently only available in binary, as the author is cleaning it up and sorting it, but it should be available as source sometime in December. Would you like both programs in BINEX format? OR, I could just uuencode both, but that would mean you'd have to have a way to either 1) download binaries from your mainframe (I don't) or 2) have a uudecode on your CoCo. I have C sources for uudecode and uuencode. This all looks a bit clumsy, but all SHOULD have a uudecoder, pak and ar, and cuts for their CoCos. CUTS is only necessary if you get files from the ListServer at Princeton, or if you get them from people who do (like myself). CUTS is made to be able to send files over almost any sort of mail link, including BITNET's silly 80 column and EBCDIC conversions. (For princeton's archaic IBM) If you need any of these routines, folx, just hollar!
