I'll try and make this as quick as possible. My friend goes to school at Cornell and his mainframe account is on a VMS machine. I am at Delaware on a UNIX machine. Can I mail him files? They would have to be in .hqx form for unix to like them (I think). Will VMS accept .hqx? Can he mail files to me? Anyone out there had any experience with this one? On a similiar subject: Is there any way he can ftp from his machine? I don't think he can. If this is posted in the wrong place please tell me where I could get more help. Thanks for your time.

We can sens/receive files to/from UNIX machines. We do understant *.hqx and *.sit files. *.shar files, are however a problem. My VAX/VMS has both ftp and telenet systems. Not all do. __Bob Werman rwerman@hujivms Jerusalem `

I FTP'ed all the time out to Stanford "sumex-aim" and it worked fine. And all the files on the mainframe at Cornell were stored in .hqx format, so no problem there. I'm not sure how to mail files, but there has to be a way to attach files to an e-mail, I would think.
