BTW dir [...]*.*exe doesn't turn up anything either.
I thought that I'd try to build from source, but following the directions
I obtain:
$ set def DRA3:[GNUDIFFUTILS.SRC.VMS]
$ mms
%MMS-F-LEXUNEXEND, Continuation character found at end of file.
and the descrip.mms file seems to have a single 962 byte record with
embedded NL and CR characters in it.
I have downloaded the gnudiffutils.zip kit twice from crinoid.com via
http. I'll try next with ftp to see if that makes any difference.
