Bundle and Unbundle utilities on OpenVMS
There are special programs that come with Progress Toolkit, that
allow for transfer of compiled r-code or encrypted p-code on DOS
and on VMS platforms. These programs are referred to as the
Bundle Utility.
Bundle Utility
--------------
The bundle utility lets you put Progress binary files into a file
(called a bundle); transport the bundle to another machine using
FTP, Kermit, tape, or other mechanism; and extract the files from
the bundle. It is designed for copying x-code and portable r-code,
but any platform-independent binary file or ascii file can be copied
as well. It is not designed to handle executables, object files,
Progress databases, or other platform-dependent files.
Bundle (the utility) comprises two programs: bundle and unbundle.
The bundle program puts input files into a bundle. The unbundle
program takes files out of a bundle.
These programs and their usage is described in a file, bundle.doc,
which is located, in version 6, in the [dlctk.bundle] directory.
The dlctk directory is located in the dlc directory.
Since these programs are written in C, and are compiled on the
specific platform, there are times when the version of the OS that
they are compiled on, is not consistant with the OS that the
end-user is currently running on. In these instances, the customer
can get a copy of the .C code to compile on their machine. This .c
code can be put onto the anonymous FTP gateway, PSCGATE.
