It's called UVCP (cute no?) and it's from the company named below. Now as to how good it is. Well lets just say it does work, finally, after much pain and effort. As to whether the problems was with UVCP itself (the first versions didn't work) or with VMS (probably) or with our VMS Support Staff (who had NO desire to install anything that makes it easier for UNIX to talk to their machines) I'm not sure. We finally have it installed however, and let me tell you it's a whole lot easier then using magtape and `vmstp'. The only problem is that uucp has to be hacked on the UNIX end because of the difference between UNIX and VMS on line terminator characters. Address from net.news.map, not sure if this is sales. Site name `mprvaxa'.

It's just a lot easier then tape. I personally think it would have been a whole lot better to get those VMS perverts to use a REAL OS. -- Address: William P.
