I ported a large number of my FILESERV packages to OpenVMS AXP. Note that in most cases, all that was necessary was a recompilation of the source code. Some minor changes were necessary to some of the C programs to get them to compile/link properly under AXP. The following packages now support both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP. The AXP support has been marginally tested---please let me know if you encounter any problems with any of them. Again, in most cases, all that was necessary was a recompilation. All packages marked with a "*" were ported just this past weekend.

You can find UNZIP.EXE and UNZIP.ALPHA_EXE in [.MACRO32]. To get one or more packages via e-mail, send one or more commands like the following in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET: SEND package SEND FILESERV_TOOLS !Needed if you don't have MFTU and UNZIP again where "package" is the package name (like SEND XDVI).
