I have a bunch of files that I need to move from a 750 running VMS4.1 to a MicroVax running VMS4.0. The ONLY common media is RS232. What I was hoping to do was to do a BACKUP/SAVE to make a single file and then use some hexify program to make that file printable. The resulting file would get KERMITed accross and then dehexified. I have tried to use the VMS Kermit VMSHEX and VMSDEH programs, but they don't work on large files very well. Has anyone fixed them or have a method that works? Thanks, Jim ARPA: Jiml@Score UUCP: ...!ucbvax!Jiml@Score -------

I have a program (2 actually) that I got from Peter Karp at SRI who got it from Ira Winston at UPenn etc. etc. which will turn any VMS file into a text file (ASCII) suitable for transmission over 7 bit lines, even over ARPAnet through Top-20's. You can get it via ANONYMOUS Ftp here (off hours please). Node: CU20B Directory: <Oc.Garland> Files: ASC2BIN.MAR BIN2ASC.MAR MAKE_ASCBIN.COM Get the files, execute MAKE_ASCBIN, and you're all set. They work. Rg PS thanks to the original inventors whoever they may be. -------
