OpenVMS text

Comment:

I am trying to xfer text files to a Unix system, when opening the files on the Unix system the file formate is lost. I need to specifiy dilimiters on the file before transfering to the Unix box. Any suggestions on what utility would work the best?

Reply:

If the extension of the file is .TXT try: FTP <Unix node name or address> FTP> TEXT FTP> MPUT *.TXT but it may be worthwhile to convert the files tro STREAM_LF format and then FTP then BINARY. I cannot tell the exact format (will look it up) Beware the file system on VMS is a RECORD based type, on Unix STREAM based. These are quite incompatible! Willem Willem Grooters
