The attached programs are totally free shareware. I currently use
them while transmitting/receiving data between DOS, UNIX/XENIX, and
MAINFRAME storage areas. These are great to use with Kermit.
   Below is a brief description of each program. Note that I have com-
piled and tested each one in the following areas: UNIX/XENIX operating
system, System 5, release 3; DOS, Microsoft Version 5.1.

   filecmpr.c : beats any file compressor I have seen in Unix. Compressing
                is a little slow but decompression is quite fast. 
                I wish someone out there had the time to expand
                this into an arc/zip kind of utility so we could
                send archive files between DOS and UNIX.

   chgxmitf.c : creates/uncreates a printable ASCII file from
                any kind of input file. Use this to create good transmittable
                files that Kermit and other utilities will not corrupt.

   split_f.c  : breaks up/puts back together large files for transmission.
                Great if you are transmitting over a noisy line and 
                have a big file to transmit. See attached split_f.doc.


   I have not given any usage info here since you can get that
   by typing the executable name by itself. To compile in Unix:
   just do a 'cc'. In DOS, set up environment flag DOS; example
   cl -DDOS filecmpr.c with Microsoft; other compilers should have
   no problems with these. I created chgxmitf.c from scratch, the
   others were originally secured from DOS BBS's and modified to
   work in UNIX/XENIX.

   Have fun with these.
