|I am still having trouble receiving archived files. I used the
|GET command for Arc-1-92.Z. I saved the message I received to a
|file. After stripping off the mail header and trailer info, I
|had a data set of 623 rows and 61 columns. I downloaded this as
|a binary file to my SUN IPX. When I tried to uncompress this
|file, I got the message:
|Arc-1-92.Z: dataset not in compressed format
|Any help would be appreciated.
The files that our list manager software sends out are uuencoded. It has to
encode binary files (e.g. compressed files) in a 7-bit ASCII format. To
properly recover the archives, save the file that our list software sends you
as "Arc-1-92.uu". Then do the following:
uudecode < Arc-1-92.uu > Arc-1-92.Z
uncompress Arc-1-92
If you have any questions, please feel free to send mail to me at
