I'm pretty sure I used VMS CONVERT to fix the licence file. Another easy way is to use FTP, if you have a server available.
This is vaguely how I did it: Get an existing file that is a VMS text file: $ ANAL/RMS/FDL/OUTPUT=XYZ textfile This creates a file called XYZ.FDL that describes the records in the text file (just a typical text file). It needs to have lines as long as those in the file to be converted, or just edit XYZ.FDL to change the max record size. $ CONVERT/FDL=XYZ.FDL inputfile outputfile (the first being the file off your CD, and the second the converted version) My memory is hazy so you might have to fiddle a bit.
