I know there's gotta be a better place to ask this, but I'm not sure where. How do I use the binaries posted here (or should I say the archive files). On my PC I've got PKarc (I forget with version) and the plain vanilla arc program.

Save them in a file, and remove all the garbage from the top (retain only a "begin XXX filename" line) Step two. If there is more than one file, concatenate them. Make sure no blank lines get in between them Step three. Run uudecode on that file. Step four. You should now have a file named whatever.arc (assuming the format is .arc). Use kermit to download it thus: Step five. Start kermit on the host. enter "set parity none" and "set file type binary". Step six. "set parity none" on your local kermit. (With genuine MSkermit, type ctrl-] c set parity none <cr> c <cr> Step seven. On the systems kermit, enter "send <filename>" Step eight. Escape to your local kermit and issue a "receive" command. (With MSkermit ctrl-] c r <cr>) Step nine. Issue a "quit" command to the mainframe kermit Step ten. On the IBM-PC, deArc the files. The command will be PKUNPAK -e filename.arc destination-directory ^^^^^^^or ARC if that's what you have Easy, n'est-ce pas? If this helps you PLEASE save this posting and re-post it for me everytime a neophyte asks that question, ok? thanks. :-) Joel Spolsky bitnet: spolsky@yalecs uucp: ...!yale!spolsky Yale University arpa: spolsky@yale.edu voicenet: 203-436-1483 "You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!!"
