Unzip (VMS Vax) Wazzup?

Yup, to my chagrin, after posting the message I hit DEJA with the exact
error message and came up with the same result. Then hit the faq and
found the same result.

Thanks for putting up with me. VMS is giving me fits. I got it installed
and networked over my router so I can surf. Now I'm trying SAMBA.

One of the things about new operating systems (new to me ;-0) is that you
may get initial gains that you don't realize how much you are missing.

I still have difficulty navigating. There are places I can go in FILEVIEW
that I can't in DECTERM and vise-versa. Basicly I'm a smart newby who
doesn't belong on this list when it comes to VMS/VAX.

Regards,

Jeff
