Let us not rush it :-). Quite seriously, I do not think that a rush category is worth the extra effort. Looking at it as a downloader, if there is such a hurry, then get the things from a BBS or elsewhere. The whole idea of comp.binaries.ibm.pc is to have good, moderated, safe programs, and it is certainly worth the wait. We all value the effort Rahul is putting into it, and I for one like it this way. Looking it as an uploader of programs I come to the same conclusion. I am quite prepared to wait even for long for my programs to come out (when Rahul accepts them for distribution.) No need for an excessive hurry. And if there were, other channels are available. In summary, I prefer the quality to quantity and promptness. ...................................................................

The correct node number of the University of Vaasa Sun 4 is 128.214.12.3. Well, things like this are bound to happen. Anyway, what we have here is about a 100Mb of PD and shareware programs. While I am at it I shall include some prerecorded instructions for getting them for those who are less familiar with the file transfer program. The instructions concern my own programs, but they are applicable for the other programs here, as well. ...................................................................

For a login password use your electronic mail address. If you are using ftp from a VAX/VMS system, set case lower before proceeding. The files are in directory /pc/ts. At the ftp> prompt first type binary (for binary files). To go to the relevant directory apply cd /pc/ts. To see its contents apply ls or dir. To download a file, use get filename or mget filenames. The files have been packed with PKPAK so you will need PKUNPAK from PKWARE to unpack them in your PC. The following contains the same information by giving the commands needed for transferring tsarc15.txt (contains a summary of the programs) and tspfon28.arc as an example. In the example its is assumed that you are calling from a Unix system. The usage for a VAX/VMS system is quite similar. It is recommended that you first get the files 0contents and tsarc15.txt (or later than version 15) for more information. ftp #Invoke the file transfer program open 128.214.12.3 #Connect to chyde.uwasa.fi at the University #of Vaasa anonymous #Use this name to get temporary privileges Give your email address as your password cd /pc/ts #Go to the relevant directory dir #Directory of available files ascii #tsarc15.txt is an ordinary text file get tsarc15.arc #Copy the file to your default directory binary #tspfon28.arc is a binary file mget tspfon*.arc #mget allows wildcards close #Terminate the connection quit #Quit the file transfer program From ts Tue May 9 09:28:45 EET DST 1989 Article 895 of comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d: Path: chyde!ts >From: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi LASK) Newsgroups: comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d Subject: Re: Help wanted on UUDECODE and PK361 Summary: "When everything else fails read the instructions" Keywords: self-extraction, binary transfers Message-ID: <484@chyde.uwasa.fi> Date: 30 Apr 89 14:30:24 GMT References: <1640@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU> Reply-To: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi LASK) Organization: University of Vaasa, Finland Lines: 28 In article <1640@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU> c08_d014@jhunix (Stdnt 14) writes: >I recently got a copy of UUDECODE.EXE version and PK361.EXE from simtel20. >I then tried to run PK361.EXE to unpack it and tried to run UUDECODE.EXE on >a file I had transfered.

If so can you please send me >a copy of the unpacked PKX361.EXE or tell me where I can get it . Thank You. Sounds very strange. You have probably failed to set the file attributes (tenex for Simtel, binary for any ftp site) correctly, or something similar in getting pk361.exe. There is nothing wrong with a proper copy of pk361.exe. If you wish to, you can try to anonymous ftp another copy of /pc/pd2/pk361.exe from 214.218.12.3, but remember to use a binary transfer. Just in case you have completely failed to understand how to unpack pk361.exe I shall explain it. (My sincere apologies if this is not the case.) It is a self-extracting package and to unravel its mysteries simply give the command pk361. If you are using a floppy, see to it that there is enough room. Also, you must have pk361.exe in the default directory where you give the command. The procedure has NOTHING whatsoever to do with UUDECODE, and you will have to perform it in your PC, not in your mainframe. ...................................................................
