You make me nostalgic. Reminds me of the times when I used to use elm and pine as my email software. I remember using uuencode to encode the files, and sending them like a normal text file. The receiver then had to save the email as an ascii text, and use uudecode to retrieve the attachment. Sigh!!!!

I'm curious how you get sendmail/mailx to send a file as an attachment? I suppose it can be done.

      Thanks, all:


      We have compress available currently, but not gzip or zip. We will
      try compress.

      RWB is correct - and the good news is that WinZip (a likely program
      at the
      destination of your email) handles tar-ed and compress-ed files fine.
      Of
      course it may pay to add the .zip extension to the filename so that
      the
      mail client knows what to do with it.

      Please respond to
      ORACLE-L







      You can use compress or gzip to compress a file. compress -v
      [filename]
      should compress the file and tell you the percentage as well. Gzip is
      a GNU
      utility that may be on your system. These utilities may not be in
      your
      current path.

      Hello, list:

      We have a unix nightly job which will send an email to a user.
      However, the
      file size is very large, so we need to zip the file before we send it
      out.
      Does anyone know the syntax or command of zipping a file from UNIX ?
