Often I work by modem from home, but lacking a printer, I wrote the
following shell script to ship Unix text files to my wife's VMS shop.
Now she can bring a listing home in the evening along with the bacon.
See, VMS really is good for something!
Create this script in your bin as vmsend and edit it so the <CR> is a
real ascii \015 and the <^Z> is a real ascii \026. (Obviously I couldn't
send these through the mail.) Preserve the backslashes in front of the
<CR>'s. Then run the thing within cu via:
~$vmssend FILENAME
The command file turns off the local echo in VMS and seems to run fine
at 1200 baud.

#! /bin/csh
if ( -r $1 ) then
echo -n set term/noecho \<CR>
sleep 2
echo -n create $1 \<CR>
sleep 2
cat $1 | tr '\012' '\015'
sleep 2
echo -n <^Z>
sleep 2
echo -n set term/echo \<CR>
else
echo -n Nothing doing -- $1 unreadable \<CR>
endif
echo -n All done \<CR>
