[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Trouble with pdswstat.arc

db@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Dan) (01/16/90)

I've tried about 3 or 4 different ways to ftp 
pd1:<msdos.statistics>pdswstat.arc from simtel20,
and each time I find that the arc file has a 
problem when I download it to my PC. Has anyone
else had this problem? Is there a problem with the 
file? Or should I be using a different 'type' command?
I've tried both ascii and tenex.

And is there a program to do a directory on an .arc
file from a unix machine, so I can check before I 
download?

Tenex should work.

The program arc should do the trick.  Try    arc -v pdswstat
If your machine does not have arc installed, I think the sources are
available via anonymous ftp from uunet.uu.net.
