- hi all,
- I need to get some files that were compressed with UNIX's compress
- utility onto my vax for processing by PV-WAVE. I have lzdcmp.exe but
- it will not decompress the files. Here's the background
-
- 1. I use UCX ftp to get files A.Z AND B.Z from the server.
- 2. I try to decompress them using LZDCMP on the vax trying
- no qualifiers and various combinations of qualifiers which
- had no effect. The program halts with an error message and
- does not decompress the file.
- I tried decompressing files after transferring them via
- ftp in both IMAGE mode and ASCII mode. By the way which
- is the proper mode for .Z files ?
- 3. I can get the file onto my mac and decompress it using a mac decompress.
- I can decompress both the file that was transferred in ascii mode
- and the file transferred in image mode.
-
- 4. Does anyone know why lzdcmp is not working as I'd rather not have
- to go to the mac to decompress these files.
-
- thanks for any information
