Um, well, yes. TurboSTORE will allow you to COMPRESS, and I believe
that plain old STORE will store to a disc file (I don't think that
TurboSTORE is required for that part). I have done just this with
groups and entire accounts that contain IMAGE dbs, and ftped the
resulting disc file between 3Ks. The HP ARPA FTP seems to lend a
helping hand between 3Ks and maintain the STORE filecode on STOREd
disc files with nothing more than a SEND AKA PUT. Other STORE parms
maintain DIRECTORY and date info as well.

Reply by email if you need more info, unless you or other list members
would like a level of detail that tells you how to actually do this,
and feel it should be posted to the list.

Subject:        [HP3000-L] compression utilities that support priv files?

Is there anything freeware, or commercial that will allow me to
create
"truck" files like MOVER that supports PRIV files, and will maintain
directory paths and possible date information on the 3k?

thanks
