Does anyone know if KERMIT mangles .ARC files. I have lately copied
various PD files located in the DEC system to my Atari using KERMIT.
When I go to dearc them, I get two bombs, bad header statements, etc.
I've moved the files using KERMIT in both TEXT and BINARY block type
formats, however, makes no difference. I'm stuck having to use KERMIT
as recent changes to the modems on my cluster have eliminated the use
of XMODEM protocols. I have had no problems in the past when using
XMODEM. Any thoughts, suggestions....

Have you read PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]XFERINTRO.TXT? Do so, and check the VMS file attributes, and perhaps try SET FILE TYPE BLOCK or run CVTARC over it. | |||||
| 883.2 | Try this | COMICS::DSMMGR | Fri Jun 01 1990 08:14 | 18 | |
On COMICS::$255$DUS9:[vaxdsm.st] are two files.
KERMIT.COM
WERMIT.EXE
WERMIT is a copy of C-Kermit and KERMIT.COM is a simple frontend that
I wrote to set up the WERMIT parameters necessary for transfer. Copy
the files to your account and run KERMIT.COM.
I will ask for the name of the file you wish to transfer, invoke
WERMIT.EXE and set things up ready for transfer. You can edit
KERMIT.COM to vary things such as timeout etc.
I have used it with good results every time.
Hope it helps

| 883.3 | Ckermit also supports big block sizes | NORGE::CHAD | Fri Jun 01 1990 13:13 | 9 | |
Also, with CKermit you can set block sizes to be 1000 and 2000 download and upload. Makes it go much faster. I may have gotten backward which direction is 1000 and which 2000 enabled. I've used Ckermit and UNITERM with great success. Or try Jeff's WHACK/STRANSF -- Also very quick. Chad | |||||

Thank you everyone. All your suggestions assisted me with overcoming

| 883.5 | large packets | UTRTSC::KNOPPERS | Oswald Knoppers | Tue Jun 05 1990 13:17 | 9 |

The current VMS kermit also has large packet sizes.
BTW if I remember correctly you have to set the file type to 'FIXED'
and not to 'BINARY' with VMS Kermit

Rather than start a whole new topic, I decided to drop a note
in here instead. . .
Lately, I've been getting a few files off Terminator. Two in
specific are FLY_EX.LZH and MONOPOOL.LZH - of which I also
got LHXARC.PRG (or was that TTP ?). I get the files,
edit out the mail header and router notes at the bottom,
UUDECODE them, CVTARC them to `510 variable length' and use
UNITERM V1.7 (which is all I have) to take `em back to the
ATARI. Well, when I un-LZH them, I get something like the
following. . .
Extracting from MONOPOOL.LZH
Melting MONOPOOL.PRG߰}.................
With those little extra characters (not exactly those though)
at the end of the file name. Then, when I run the programs,
I get two identical screens, side by side, of the same thing.
The fly was flying around TWICE, and I had two fly swatters.
Um. . .what am I doing wrong ? Any help would be greatly
appreciated, since .ARC files are not a problem. Only those
.LZH files.
Oh, another thing, is that I copied over a program called
GENESIS.TOS, which is a Fractal Generator. (Another stupid
question ? Nah, I don't know about all this stuff yet, I'm
still learning. :^P) :^) What is a .TOS file and how does
one get it to run ? Better yet, what don't I have included
to get this to run. When I tried to run it, I got a quick
blip of four bombs and then the screen went back to the ICON
screen.
Thanks in advance for any/all help !

| 883.7 | Wrong res | UKCSSE::RDAVIES | I can't tryp for nots | Tue Apr 30 1991 10:32 | 4 |
I too tried fly a while back, not worth the effort!. I think your
problem is because it's a low res program that your running in med res.
