Stupid question: I have a large compressed tar file on my office Sun. I
tried transferring it to my home mac with Zterm. I now have a large
Zterm binary document on my mac. Uncompress won't deal with it ("not
in compress format"). It does seem to be the same size as the original,
so I think it has a chance of being ok. I tried transferring the same
file via kermit: yuck. Took 2 1/2 hours (vs. 18 minutes for Zterm), and
the result was the wrong size. Uncompress crashed; the uncompressed file
bombed tar.
Finally the stupid question: how can I convert the result of Zterm file
transfer to something I can uncompress and untar? I suppose that I could
use uucp, if I had the manuals to get it set up...
