Re: What commands are allowed after control-p

The tags are intended to avoid some of the problems -- due to misidentification of the transfer type based on the file extension -- and are only applicable to somebody serving a file via HTML from an HTML page they are managing. They're not applicable here, since we're not working with HTML.

Use the command procedure to reset the attributes.

Re: What commands are allowed after control-p

I can send exe files back and forth between
my vms box and x box aok. image still works.

I can send savesets between them ok, setting
the attribute to (lrl:32256) fixes it after
a pass over to the xp box and back.

I did a unzip -t FREEWARE80_1.ZIP on the
xp, and again on the vms box. both tested OK so the zip is fine.

Anyone have a copy of

RESET_BACKUP_SAVESET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.COM

they could mail me at deanm1952@yahoo.com ,
it would be appreciated. setting
the attribute to (lrl:32256) alone does
not fix the savesets from hp, maybe
this procedure will fix them.

Dean McGorrill,

What version of unzip are you using on VMS?

see http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1106198
it depends

Re: What commands are allowed after control-p

According to my notes on how to fix a VMS saveset;

$ set file/att=(rfm:fix,lrl:32256,rat:none) filename
For the fashion of Minas Tirith was such that it was built on seven levels, each delved into a hill, and about each was set a wall, and in each wall was a gate. (J.R.R. Tolkien). Quote stolen from VAX/VMS IDSM 5.2

That kit is fine, and it unzips fine (for
me). It appears to have been created using
"zip -V", so UnZip should leave the right
attributes on the save sets (which is what I
see).

What are you using to unzip the thing?

Around here:

alp $ unzip -v
UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP. [...]

alp $ back /list hszterm010.a /save

Huh? Neither of those is the URL for "the
freeware cd", whatever/whichever that is.

I wouldn't bother on Windows.

Yes, the archive is fine, and UnZip 5.52 has
no trouble unpacking the thing.

> Anyone have a copy of

It's in the Freeware collection, Google can
find it, and, if you get desperate, there's
a link at:

http://antinode.org/dec/sw/fixrec.html

But FREEWARE80_1.ZIP is not a BACKUP save
set, and it doesn't need any repair.

Still a good question.

Re: What commands are allowed after control-p

I assumed I had a bad unzip in there last night. I pulled freeware unzip to my XP, extracted the binary there and ftp'd to the vms box. problem solved.. tx for the help!
so I have the hszterm kit now.
does this work on hsz70's? I read also that
the controller can hang if theres activity
on the maintainence port while using hszterm.
is this the only problem with it? I can keep
the hsz terminal secure if thats its only
problem.

Do you only _ask_ questions?

Is there any reason not to start a new thread
for what looks to me like a whole new topic?

Re: What commands are allowed after control-p

It was a unzip v1.0 from 1993, old! I have
v 5.52 now. ya its off the topic. I will start a new one.
