[comp.sys.apple2] sciibin

macausla@newton.ccs.tuns.ca (Robert MacAusland) (09/28/90)

Has SciiBin been ported over to VMS?  The version I got from
someone off of the net won't compile on our HP9000s, and the executable
file doesn't work either.  If anyone could help me out I would
greatly appreciate it...

I attempted to port Sciibin to VMS earlier this month, but the VMS
libraries do not include the option-parsing routine that sciibin
requires.  If I find a work-around, I will post it on comp.sources.apple2

The last time I posted sciibin to the net, the posting included a file
comtaining the option-parsing routine (getopt) for those machines that don't
have getopt in their standard libraries. So it should be very easy to 
port it to VMS because is very straight forward.
The only thing that might need a work-around is the seeking. If you 
don't have code to simulate seek in VMS, I have it around somewhere
(in another pachage a posted to the net: dvi2tty).

Is there an FTP site I can get the getopt package from?

Ok, I was told a program called sciibin would dearc BinSCII files on the
unix machine, but EVERY sciibin program I've received from an ftp will not
run.  I get a 'syntax error at line 1: '(' expected.  What is the dumbest
guy in the universe doing wrong?

You must take out any comments before the actual "--cut here--" statement. 
Or, by rule of thumb, it'll be a makefile.  So cut everything before "#!
/bin/sh" or something similar.
