NAME

diskdump - produce CMS disk dump file

SYNOPSIS

diskdump [-n <name> -t <type> <file>]

DESCRIPTION

Diskdump converts a standard text file into CMS disk dump format and writes it to standard output as a stream of 80-byte binary and EBCDIC card images. This allows a text file with lines longer than 80 characters to be "punched" to a CMS user. If <file> is not specified, standard input is used. The command line options are:

-n <name>: Specifies an internal filename for the CMS file. The default is "MAILER".
-t <type>: Specifies an internal filetype for the CMS file. The default is "MAIL".

EXAMPLES

Send a file to user MAILER on node UOFMCC:
diskdump hello.c | lp -db -o"-r -v uofmcc.mailer"

BUGS

Diskdump will fold input lines longer than 254 characters. It will not handle binary files. The CMS file produced is always format V. The ASCII to EBCDIC translation may not conform to what is expected on the receiving system.
