How do I uncompress or use the archives in brownvm.brown.edu?
What format do they use? I have tried tar, uncompress, binscii, straight
shrinkit, etc....

Dave, use binscii to put the files back together and convert them to binary.
Then use Shrinkit to unpack.

Many of the older files on BROWNvm contain the coded software in a form that must be executed from PRODOS (basic). The files usually have the line CALL-151 Followed by a bunch of numbers. for these files, delete all the text at the beginning of the file up to (but not including) the CALL-151 line. then delete any text lines at the end of the file. these usually follow a bsave ...... command. Then get into basic and type EXEC file.name and this should convert your program to binary. You may now have to use shrinkit to unshrink the file. ============================================================================= | Chris Shatara | Internet: shatara@islnds.enet.dec.com| | Opinions expressed are | DEC Easynet: islnds::shatara | | mine and mine only! | UUCP: ...!decwrl!islnds!shatara | =============================================================================
