Michael (and other friendly Amigans), There is a "standard" command procedure used on the INFO-VAX mailing list (called VMS_SHARE) which breaks up a large file into mailable pieces. VMS_SHARE is only needed on the originating system. The pieces are concatenated at the receiveing VAX/VMS system, and executed using the "@" command. This will produce the original file(s). Unfortunately, this procedure only works for VAX/VMS systems. You should contact the manager of your local system to see if VMS_SHARE is already available. If not, I could send you a copy. In VMS_SHARE'd format, it consists of 8 pieces, each about 30 blocks. I hope this helps. Selden E.
