While this is a useful tool, it will not help in the case where the 
OpenVMS SAMBA binary kits are unpacked on a PC and moved to an OpenVMS 
system.

The kits must be UNZIPPED on an OpenVMS system.

Other useful information is in the SAMBA VMS FAQ.  Here is one location 
that it is at.  Unfortunately it is a long search string result URL, and 
your mail client will probably wrap it.

It probably also can be found by using GOOGLE as it was posted on 
COMP.OS.VMS in addition to this list.
