Hi, Jiri.
This is way cool, many thanks for doing the work and sharing it. I think it's going to
make life a bit easier for some folks.
Some suggestions:
1) There seems to be an undocumented option in at least the FTPGET stage -- -DVDEOF. Of
course, this might have meaning only in the case of doing a DVD transfer.
2) split the help text for the FTPGET and FTPPUT stages into separate help
files.
3) convert the HELP file from simple text to the standard CMS HELPFILE format. If you'd
like, I can help you with that.
As far as SPXTAPE being upgraded to support files instead of being tape only, we've got a
handy little utility here that will backup and restore all types of DCSS/NSS/UR/etc spool
files to/from CMS files, with the only exceptions being DUMP and TRACE files. For UR spool
files (RDR,PRT,PUN) it collects all such files from a given user into one CMS file, making
moving and restoring them easier. It can also process individual rdr/prt/pun files from
the collection as well.
If there is any interest in such a thing, let me know, and I'll document it a bit better
and put it up on one the the popular VM download web sites.
Again, thanks a lot, Jiri.

A while ago there was a thread here about the ability to DDR DASD to remote
location. Well there is an answer! I modified DDR so it can communicate
with CMS PIPES (DDR can now be a pipe stage). The modules can be
downloaded from here:

The FTPPUT and FTPGET PIPE stages were also included and documented at the
above address.
Notice that this project is still a work in progress, therefore feedback is
welcomed!
