I have asked this before, without much luck...
I need to send files from a VMS vax to an Ultrix vax using kermit.
The files are large, and highly redundant in content (much white space,
etc).  I need a compress on the VMS side, and a corresponding
uncompress on the Ultrix side.

Now, the VMS side is pretty limited.  No C compiler, for example.
Just the DEC Fortran compiler.

Does anyone have programs for each side of this transfer problem?
Maybe a binary for the VMS side?  I don't know a lot about VMS,
so I wouldn't be able to do a lot of hacking to get something to
work.  That is, the VMS side would pretty much have to be treated
as a black box.  Can anyone help me out?
