    It is a hobbyist PAK. 112 PAKs. The other email said to run it as above. 
I can get the file onto VMS but I must be losing all attribs. I have this 
little thing John E. talks about from my email...

"
An alternate way people get files onto their server or emulated server is to 
either create your own iso
   image file with the files you want to transfer.  If you do this, there is 
a good chance the OpenVMS file
   attributes will be lost on your Windows (or Linux) system.  To compensate 
for this, copy the files onto
   your OpenVMS disk (from the iso) and set the attributes:
   bck:
   $ set file file.bck/attribute=(lrl:32256,rfm:fix)
   sav:
   $ set file file.sav/attribute=(lrl:32256,rfm:fix)
   pcsi:
   $ set file file.pcsi/attribute=(lrl:8192,rfm:fix,rat:none)
   txt:
   $ set file file.txt/attribute=(rfm:STM) or (rfm:STMLF)
 "

It's changing attributes. I've tried set file /attribute= and that's the 
start of sorrows. I don't get the above. So many file extensions. It should 
be .com.
