Package FILESERV_TOOLS contains the following files:
 
DEHEXIFY.MAR        A small MACRO-32 program that converts hexified files
                    back to their original form.
 
    To use this program, simply assemble it and link it:
 
    $ MACRO DEHEXIFY
    $ LINK DEHEXIFY
 
    When you RUN DEHEXIFY, it prompts for the file name of the .HEX file.
 
 
LZDCMP.HEX          A hexified copy of the LZDCMP program, which is used
                    to decompress files that have been compressed with
                    LZCOMP.
 
    To use this program, run it through DEHEXIFY, then define a "foreign
    command" symbol:
 
    $ lzdcmp :== $disk:[directory]LZDCMP
 
 
Some ther packages available from this FILESERV are BACKUP savesets that
have been compressed, hexified, then split into multiple files with
VMS_SHARE. To get back the original BACKUP saveset for a package, first
concatenate all the parts together into one file (which is a command
procedure) and execute it.  This will provide the .HEX file.  Then run
that file through the DEHEXIFY program to get the .BCK_Z (compressed
saveset) file. Finally, decompress the saveset with the command:
 
    $ lzdcmp  package.BCK_Z  package.BCK
 
Then you can use the BACKUP command to list or retrieve the files in the
saveset, for example:
 
    $ BACKUP/LIST  package.BCK/SAVE_SET
