    				Sorry there was no text/doc with it,so I
    				figured it has something to do with Imagine.

    I am suprized to see the ImagineComp on the nets. The something it has
    to do with Imagine is that it is the Disk that comes with the book
    "The Imagine Companion". I suppose the author chose to post it because
    he is fairly active in the Imagine realm. I will try to download it to
    see how it compares with the one I have. I never posted it because I
    was not sure of it's status. It is an interesting disk however.
    

    The file also contains the 'ImagineAppendix' !
    
    							Erik 

    That Appendix is for the reference manual, there should also be two
    config files for Imagine.

    The file stated in previous notes is the Imagine COMPENDIUM.  A
    compilation of the mailings from the imagine mailing list.  If you use
    imagine you will find good practical tips from users, etc.  Worth the
    download.

    Mark,
    Thanks for clearing up the confusion. I caused, but I noticed the name 
    was the same, and then the config file, and the author of the Companion
    posts to that feed....	I'll dl it right away.

    Does anyone know where to find ImagineComp91a & b? It's not on
    hubcap...  There are quite a few other files there that look like
    interesting compilations, but every time I try to copy them via
    DECWRL::FTPMAIL give me nothing in return.

    From where are you trying to copy them from ?

    How long do you wait for them ?

get pub/amiga/incoming/IMAGINE/TEXT/archive_00.lzh
    
    I've gotten reply's back saying that the request has been queued. I
    also get a message with the result of my request, but it's empty.
    
    Its been about a day or so.

    Re: no results from FTPMAIL
    
    Read the "results of your request" message carefully.  If you see that
    the file transfer to DECWRL indicates "(0 bytes)" then chances are
    there is something wrong with the filename.
    
    The two most common problems with filenames are that sometimes you need
    a leading "/" and sometimes you don't -- there seems to be no rhyme or
    reason.  The other is that the filename will be capitalized differently
    from what someone puts in a message on Usenet.  Unix filenames are case
    sensitive, and with no interactivity with the outside world, it's
    frustrating to puzzle out the correct file path and name.
    
    Something to try:  do a "dir" command on the default directory to see
    where you are, i.e. just "dir" by itself on a command line.  Also, do a
    "dir" on the desired directory, i.e. dir followed by all of the
    filename before the last slash character.  Usually after a couple of
    tries you can puzzle out the problem.

    Yep you're right, brain damage.  I was using the wrong file extention.
    
    On a semi-related note, how can I decompress .Z files? I've tried
    LZDCMP.EXE and it gives error about something wrong with the file.

    I've just done :
    
    	Archive-00-imagine.lzh is now on Eot::amiga:[upload]
    
    					;-)
    
    just try GET /PUB/AMIGA/... 
    
    							Erik

Those .Z files have been compressed with the U*ix 'compress' command.
You'll have to use 'uncompress' or 'zcat' to uncompress them.  If you're
not an U*ix user, I'm sure that VMS versions are available.

Maybe check the toolshed, or they may be hanging around one of the Amiga
archives (EOT::, etc)

�    On a semi-related note, how can I decompress .Z files? I've tried
�    LZDCMP.EXE and it gives error about something wrong with the file.

    What was the exact error message you got? LZDCMP is supposed to be able
    to try and figure out what type of file it's unpacking, but you may
    have to help it along with the /EXPORT qualifier. From the HELP library:

  /EXPORT

     /EXPORT=(option, [,...])

      Export describes the format of the input file.  You can select
      the following:                     ^^^^^

      VMS (D)               The file was created by VMS COMPRESS.
      UNIX                  The file was created by Unix compress or a
                            program compatible with the Unix compress utility.
      [NO]ENDMARKER         A special file endmarker follows the data.
      [NO]BLOCK             The compress program may have reinitialized
                            compression.
      [NO]HEADER            The compress program wrote its parameters
                            into a file header.

      In general, the program can determine the proper value of these
      flags by reading the first few bytes of the file.  If valid,
      the file header overrides the command line specification.
      Generally, this option is needed only if you are trying to read
      a file generated by a version of Unix compress that did not
      write a header.  See the description of COMPRESS for details.

    I read somewhere that the /EXPORT=NOENDMARKER works for a lot of files,
    and have had good luck with it, but I've only tried it on text files.

    Hope this helps,

    Pete

    This has become quite a rathole!
    
    	$LZDCMP -B -X 3 filename.Z outputfilename
    works fine for me most of the time.  The first option is for binary
    files, and is needed most of the time.  The second option is for Unix
    style compressed files -- the content and algorithm are the same, but
    the header is different.
    
    Or if you want to use VMS-style command arguments, perhaps 
    	/EXPORT=UNIX
    will work.

    I've copied archive-01 & 02 -imagine.lzh to eot::amiga:[upload]
    
    and am in the midst of getting the rest of the archives of of hubcap.
    
    (Thanks for all the help to de-compress these things.)
