Message-ID: <8806211334.AA02125@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 15 Jun 88 04:59:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 36 Tuesday, 14-June-1988 There's been a bug report about a problem with LASER and some of the new carriage control stuff. I'll probably have a fix in the next few days, so I would advise waiting before retrieving the save set. If I've already mailed you the files via BITNET, I'll be mailing you the fixes when they are complete. Watch for a new file, probably named LASER_V2_01.BCK_LZW in the anonymous directory on utadnx.cc.utexas.edu. For people with naming problems, utadnx.cc.utexas.edu is 128.83.1.26 and UTSPAN is 25.128 (25728::). ------------------------------------------------------------- Additionally, I'm in the process of compressing the backup save sets to save transmission time. You won't need FIX_SAVESET.EXE anymore, but you will need LZDCM.EXE: Example; retrieve and decompress a compressed saveset. $ ftp utadnx.cc.utexas.edu ftp> binary !
