- VMSHEX and VMSDEH
-
- Originally by Stuart Hecht of Stevens Institute of Technology.
- Later versions by Eric McQueen, Utah State University.
-
- VMSHEX is a Macro-32 program to convert any VMS file into a printable ASCII
- "hex" file, suitable for transfer as a text file by Kermit, electronic mail,
- or other means. VMSDEH will convert a hex file created by VMSHEX back into
- its original form, with all FILES-11 attributes intact.
-
- The current version of VMSDEH.MAR supports both 16-bit-address and
- 32-bit-address format files by changing the ':' that starts each line to '<'
- for 32-bit- address lines (you can also use 24-bit addresses by putting ';' on
- the front of a line). It does not require the output file to be contiguous.
-
- VMSHEX only creates 32-bit address lines. Older versions of VMSHEX created
- 16-bit lines. The current version of VMSDEH should be able to decode either
- kind of file correctly.
-
- To use either of these programs, simply run it. It will prompt you for
- any required input or output file names.
