Here is a procedure for all you Amiga people using BITFTP to get ZOO files
into a VAX/VMS system. The basic problem is that RECEIVE/BINARY puts the
wrong carriage control attribute on the file. If you then try to use ZOO
on it ZOO will complain.
To fix the carriage control attribute:
1) analyze/rms/fdl xyz.zoo
2) ed/fdl xyz.fdl
You are now in the full-screen file definition languge editor.
You want to MODIFY the RECORD attribute CARRIAGE-CONTROL
by setting it to NONE (the menus are fairly strightforward).
Exit from the FDL editor - a new version of xyz.fdl will be written.
3) convert/fdl=xyz.fdl xyz.zoo xyz2.zoo
4) kermit/zmodem/whatever xyz2.zoo to your Amiga (binary mode)
or use VAX/VMS ZOO.
If you have any questions just e-mail them to me. Good luck!
