This afternoon I experimented with EXCHANGE/NETWORK to see if I could
copy some files between two DECnetted VAXStation 3100's, one running
VMS V5.1-1 and the other Ultrix V3.0.  It worked well for me and I
didn't even have to leave the comforts of VMS to get the job done!  I
found some documentation for the utility amongst (if I recall
correctly) the release notes for VMS V5.1.

To see if executables would transfer correctly, I wrote a little
command procedure.  It's shown below with a log of the results.  Some
of the file attributes got lost in the transfer (such as "contiguous"
and "creation date"), but the transfered image does run correctly.

Have fun!

Joe Jackson.  ;-)
