I have a problem with compressing files on my pc and decompressing them on a
HP3000.
 
 
I compress a file on my pc with :
        \util\lzwpc -f lzwfile -s \temp\test.* -binary 160
 
I transfer the compressed file (lzwfile) to the HP3000, with the following
Reflection for Windows command:
        send \util\guido to guido1.gv;f;p binary rec=160 using "code=665"
 
Then I expand this compressed file on the 3000 with:
        :run lzw4.pub;info="-f testfile -r -l -b"
 
response:

The expanded files have a variable rec-length of 8188.
 
The same things happens if i compress files with a rec.lenght of 80 on the
3000,
transfer the compressed file to a pc, transfer it back to the 3000, and expand
it.
 
So the record lenght changes from 80B,FA to 8188B,VA
 
 
Is there a way to decompress pc-files with LZW, transfer them to a 3000 and
decompress
them with a specified record length ????
