afpdmp on sun solaris

Hi

Does anyone know the location of afpdmp utility from CMOD 8.4 on Sun Solaris?

Thanks
Pankaj.

afpdmp isn't a utility that's bundled with CMOD - it's generally bundled with InfoPrint Manager.  You'll likely have to download the AFP file to your PC and use afpdmp.exe locally.

   ftp://ftp.boulder.ibm.com/printers/tools/afpdmp/

Ok. By the way, I never had luck with opening these kind of links.
Is there anything special you need to do to open this URL?

It can be opened in any type of we browser. I guess http:// got prefixed automatically which made the mess.

ftp://ftp.boulder.ibm.com/printers/tools/afpdmp/

It can also be opened via any FTP client.

Ya I know that https should not be there.
Maybe I am unable to access because I tried to do so from my office network.
I guess the company policies prvent me from getting there.

[rick]

Yep could be, proxies can be configured to block ftp access.

Sorry about that -- the bulletin board software prefixed the URL with http:// for some reason.  I've corrected it for future users.

The best person to talk to about your connectivity issues would be your local network administrator.

Pankaj,

did you receive the file I've sent you a few weeks/month ago with the open source code of some tools of CMOD?
You had exactly the same problem, and since I had downloaded the sources code I've send it back then.

If you need this file I can send it to you. With the hope you can receive such files... ( I have customers who cannot...)

Just tell me, and I'll send either a new link or via e-mail.

Cheers,
Alessandro

I wanted to get the file... and guess what:

Index of ftp://ftp.boulder.ibm.com/printers/tools/afpdmp/

File:afpdmp.aix    118 KB    02/05/96    00:00:00
File:afpdmp.exe    76 KB    13/09/96    00:00:00

You have only the choice for AIX and Windows... nothing less nothing more.

So you're out of luck...

What do you want to do exactly? Dump some AFP?

Well for that, I have a better solution : Use Perl (there are other solution I'm sure... but this one works since I've tested it personally!!)

Install the Parse::AFP module  (http://search.cpan.org/~audreyt/Parse-AFP-0.25/) with all its dependencies... and you'll be able to use the parseafp.pl which is included in this package.

And that would work in any OS which supports Perl (UNIX, Windows, Mac, ...)

Cheers,
Alessandro

Yeah. I want to see the TLEs and that's why I need to dump it.
Will try the Parse:AFP module.

Thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate it.
