The "shar" command is a good way of sending multiple files in a single mailing from one UNIX to another. I'm wondering if anyone has developed companion shar commands, one UNIX-based and the other PC-DOS based, that can be used to create a shar file on unix, download it to the pc, then extract files onto the pc. A converse use would be to create a shar archive on the PC, upload to UNIX, then extract on unix. An alternative method would be a version of cpio that runs on the pc and, preferably, supports the -c (character) flag to eliminate arbitrary binary bytes. Anybody have that yet?

The "sb" program posted to the net a few years ago allows a batch transfer of files from a Unix system to a micro running YAM. With Omen's Pro-YAM running on the PC, files can be downloaded at 19kb while preserving exact file length and mod date. There is also an "rb" program which does the same for uploads. VMS versions of "sb" and "rb" are also available on Telegodzilla at 503-621-3746. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX ...!tektronix!reed!omen!caf CIS:70715,131 Omen Technology Inc 17505-V NW Sauvie Island Road Portland OR 97231 Voice: 503-621-3406 Modem: 503-621-3746 (Hit CR's for speed detect) Home of Professional-YAM, the most powerful COMM program for the IBM PC
