[--forwarded message--] From: thaler@cs.wisc.edu (Maurice Thaler) I have uploaded WNQVT384.ARC to SIMTEL20. It is a COMM program written for MS WINDOWS 2.1 or greater. It emulates VT52/100/200 & ANSI for BBS use. It also includes XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM & Kermit. The ZMODEM does not autodownload, but seems robust in all other ways. <msdos.mswindows> WNQVT384.ARC WINDOWS VT100 emulator with XMODEM,YMODEM,ZMODEM & Kermit This is the latest version I know of. --- Thanks, Maurice! I checked with the author and this is both a valid copy and is the latest version. He thanks you for saving him the work of uploading it. :-) --Keith

I just downloaded this file, ran arc -l wnqvt384.arc, and had arc report a bad header. Downloaded it to my PC, and pkxarc -v reports the file as not being an archive. Is this file safe to use?? Is there anyplace I can get a version of this file that isn't corrupt?

Jeff, I deeply resent you posting a message to the whole world
implying that files on SIMTEL20 are corrupt. The proper approach
would have been to send email to me to resolve your problem.
My address is reachable from almost any network that can talk to the
Internet.
The file is NOT corrupt. It is a normal PKARC/PKPAK archive which any
recent version of most archiving programs can handle.

I tried to ftp the file from your server again. This time, arc -l on UNIX
didn't return an error, but in fact said the file was OK. When I go home,
I will download it and see if it works on my PC.
Please forgive me for maybe not taking the proper channels. It seemed
right to me, though. I wasn't implying that you would allow a corrupt file
in the archives. I just didn't get it to work.
I thought that posting a message to the group would generate a lot of
response (and it did).
Feel free to post this message into the newsgroup, if you like.

I once posted a request for source code from the Dr. Dobbs Journals, you replied via mail that there were some available at simetel. I ftp'd to there and saw that you did not have what i wanted, and that i had more than you did. I tried five or size times to send you a message to see what i should do. Three times it bounced at simtel because of hardware problems (something about no connections or something). The fourth time the mail guru at rex found a path via a military installation that might be able to get it thru (thinking they may have more priority with connections), but that message bounced because i did not capitalize a letter in the address, and the sixth time was something else. Finally I just gave up on sending you mail. I have no idea if Jeff tried to get thru, but I hope things are better now as far as getting a connection to mail you. I will mail you a copy of this post, please let me know if you get it. FYI: A number of magazines publish code, and i have collected quite a few, they are available from the archive server at archive@mgse. Sending the following message will get you the helpfile, a listing of all the available magazine archives, and list of what magazines i archive and where they are located. send to archive@mgse or uunet!rex!mgse - cut here ------------------------------------------------- help send other/mags/list send other/mags/index - cut here ------------------------------------------------- >--Keith Petersen >Maintainer of SIMTEL20's CP/M, MSDOS, and MISC archives >Internet: w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil [26.2.0.74] >Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!wsmr-simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz -- Mark Seiffert, Metairie, LA. uucp: rex!mgse!marks bitnet: marks%mgse@REX.CS.TULANE.EDU internet: marks%mgse@rex.cs.tulane.edu
