OK, I plead ignorance. Could someone please sort me out on why the
source archive on the download site changes its file extension from
".zip" to ".zip-gz" or ".gz" depending on the browser I use? The first
variation occurs using Netscape 7 (Windows) and LYnx 2.8.3 (VMS). The
second variation is using MSIE 6. The site, and all the posts I've read
in this list, indicate that the archive is a genuine Info-ZIP file, but
it's being treated by these browsers as if it's a GZIP archive. Even
the BACKUP command has trouble with the unzipped saveset after the
download, suggesting trouble with the download.
I downloaded it a couple of times directly onto my VMS machine using
LYnx, but the UNZIP procedure seemed to fail, putting no files into
[dir.source.vms] directory; the [vms] directory actually wound up at the
same level sa the [source] directory?!. That's why I suspect it isn't
downloading in the correct format. Either that, or my use of the BACKUP
command is woefully wrong. This is what I tried:
$ UNZIP "-V" SAMBA-2_2_4-SRC.ZIP-GZ
$ CREATE/DIRECTORY [.SAMBA-2_2_4]
$ BACKUP SAMBA-2_2_4-SRC.BCK/SAVE_SET [.SAMBA-2_2_4]
I'd sure appreciate some help sorting this out. Thanks.
