Hi GZIP Version V1.2.4 Windows and OpenVMS
When I zip a file on a Windows-System and copy *.gz-File to OpenVMS-Host Pathworks-Share, then I cannot gunzip the file. Error-Message: invalid compressed data--format violated When I copy the same file with FTP in binary mode, then it works fine. The differenz is the record-format at OpenVMS-site. FTP generate an "Fixed length 512 byte records" - Format. Pathworks generates an "Stream, maximum 0 bytes, longest 0 bytes"-Format. gzip cannot handle the format generated bei Pathworks (Advanced Server for OpenVMS) - Stream-Format. Also OpenVMS-gzip V1.3.12b has this problem. May be some one can fix it. Thanks, Frank
