Glenn, Attached is a request for an addition for the SIG tape. Can you grab it? (I will also be grabbing it.) Ted From: " (Jon Pinkley, Westinghouse (216)486-8300 x1335)" To: "ted@nieland.dayton.oh.us"@uunet.UU.NET Subject: Can this be put on the VAX/LT spring 1991 tape? Ted, Since there are still a lot of people without access to SIMTEL20, can you grab this and include it in the spring 1991 vaxlt tape?

Of most interest to y'all will be the unzip sources (unzip41.arc) and unzip ready-to-run executable (unzip41.exe, incredibly enough). If you just snarf the latter, please also grab the two text files unzip41.doc (a Unix-style [boo hiss] man page) and unzip41.notes (VMS-specific notes written by yours truly; much useless informa- tion therein, plus some very important stuff thrown in for bonus irritation value). The current version is much more compatible with various VMS file types, but it still can't do variable-length records without help (that's one of the important parts in unzip41.notes). Fixed-length 512 (ftp, Kermit "set file type fixed") and stream-LF (Zmodem, BSD uudecode) are fine, however. If there are some Real (tm) VMS C pro- grammers out there who'd like to work on this, feel free to join the Info-ZIP project (e-mail to info-zip-request@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil) --to the best of my knowledge, there's only one other VMSer involved, and he's swamped. I surpassed "swamped" a long time ago. Those operating mail-servers or other ftp sites are welcome to acquire unzip 4.1 in ways best left unspoken. Mere mortals may wait for that or attempt Simtel (or its mirror site, wuarchive.wustl.edu, within a day or two) themselves. Please be sure you know the difference between binary and tenex, and if you don't, contrive to find out from someone else (remember the "swamped" part--have mercy on me, I beg of you :-) ). Bug fixes and/or improvements and/or problem reports can be sent in to info-zip@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (but ask me before fooling with the time- stamp code, because that's going to be my last big VMS contribution-- the current stuff is disappearing entirely). Flames...well, you know what you can do with THEM. Greg _____________________ I have uploaded version 4.1 of the Info-ZIP project's generic unzip utility to SIMTEL20: pd1: UNZIP41.ARC Generic unzip v4.1 for free public distribution UNZIP41.TAR-Z Same as above, but compressed tar format pd1: UNZIP41.ARC Generic unzip v4.1 for free public distribution UNZIP41.DOC unzip v4.1 quick-reference ("man page") UNZIP41.EXE Info-ZIP's free UNZIP v4.1 for VAX/VMS UNZIP41.NOTES VMS-specific setup/notes/warnings for unzip v4.1 pd1: UNZIP41.EXE Info-ZIP's free UNZIP v4.1 for MS-DOS UNZIP41.ZIP C source code for free Unix/VMS/MS-DOS UNZIP UNZIP41.EXE (MS-DOS flavor) is a self-extracting archive created via LHA. It contains an MSDOS executable of Info-ZIP's generic unzip utility (compiled via Borland's Turbo C v2.0), plus unzip.man and short text file. UNZIP41.EXE (VMS flavor) is a plain old executable for VMS, compiled with VAX C 3.0 under VMS 5.2. Read unzip41.notes for instructions on how to set up a symbol for proper usage, etc. This version of unzip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes, minis, and micros (to include MSDOS, OS/2, Atari ST (kinda), and Macintosh). Although highly compatible with Phil Katz's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, our objective has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Please note that UNZIP41.ARC, UNZIP41.TAR-Z, and UNZIP41.ZIP all contain the same files. They were uploaded in three different formats for your convenience.
