I've got what might be an old problem, can't remember the
solution to.
Created iff file with DigiView, IFF2GIFed it,
kermited it to vax, and it comes out missing the GI in
GIF78a that should be the first few characters of the file.
(thus no good)
I zoo'ed it (with ZOO version 2.0) shipped the file over
to the vax with kermit, and unzooing produces bad headers.
I tried pulling a ZOO from TAPE2::, kermited it from the
vax to my amiga, and it unzooed fine.
Kermit is VMS Kermit-32 version 3.3.117, and ATALKIII Kermit
V 1.2d.
I'm using set file type block on the vax and have tried binary
and text on the atalkIII.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Once you upload to VMS, run the cvtarc program on it (wjg::amiga:cvtarc.exe).
You need to make cvtarc a foriegn command.
$ cvtarc :== $dev:[directory]cvtarc
$ cvtarc u file.zoo
$ zoo -l file

Better Still,
Don't use ZOO use Lharc. You very rarely have to use CVTARC then.

I did a backward search in the notes and found something like this
from before, I'd of course asked the same question, (brain death |-< )
So I gave it a shot and heres what happened:
Kermited file over, it looks like:
DZOO.ZOO;1 File ID: (967,4,0)
Size: 268/270 Owner: [SYSTEM]

Zooing produces:

Archive user$:[amiga]dzoo.zoo;1:
Zoo: ERROR: Archive user$:[amiga]dzoo.zoo;1: Invalid or corrupted archive.
BLKICE_[SYSMGR]>>
CVTARC produces:
BLKICE_[SYSMGR]>>cvtarc u dzoo.zoo dzooc.zoo
BLKICE_[SYSMGR]>>zoo l dzooc.zoo
Archive user$:[amiga]dzooc.zoo;1:
Zoo: ERROR: Archive user$:[amiga]dzooc.zoo;1: Invalid or corrupted archive.
Any thoughts???

try cvtarc v (not u). Are you sure it's a ZOO file? Try lharc and arc to be sure.. john | |||||
