I've got a file that's about 400kbytes big. Problem is that I've got to port it from my SDSystems hidensity disk format to a Compupro disk. Can't transport it in SSSD. What do people suggest? I've tried a PD Huffman-code PACK and UNPACK combination, but there's a bug in UNPACK, and it won't reconstruct the file correctly. Later this week, I'm going to try a program which renames each extent, and then after PIPing it to a couple of SSSD didks, rename the extents back into one file, and hope that doesn't clobber too much. Are there problems with this approach (eg. file header crc's?) that I'm not seeing? Does anyone else have suggestions? Has anyone had this same problem before? Thanks, sam hahn -------
