Really? So, we surely HAVE come a long way baby with VMS RMS! Still, any
stream format is a ridiculously lame way to differentiate records IMHO.

Cool. So the first, and most obvious, problem, is that the file is
indeed in stream format. So no ordinary RSX tool will touch it with a

Hey folks. I'm moving some text files to an RSX system via DECnet
under Linux. The files on the RSX system are not readable; I get
"illegal record size" when trying to type them.
Has anyone hit this? I assume there's a simple solution..
I have never had any luck at all transferring files from Linux to RSX.
That said, what do you see if you do a DSP <file> under RSX? Had you been pulling it from Linux to RSX, and
initiated to transfer
from the RSX side, you can tell NFT exactly what format you want for the
file on the local side, when the remote side is a stream format file.
Not sure Linux can do that if you do the transfer from the Linux side.
My next suggestion is to read up on RMSCNV, on how to convert the file.
I can never remember exactly how to use it, so I have to read every time
I want to, but it can convert the file to another format for you.
I can't comment there either; however, if VMS CONVERT help is needed, I'm
available.
And now, back to RMS CDC.
