Spring 1994 VMS/L&T Sig Tape Abstracts The L&T and VMS Systems SIGs are again producing a combined collection for Spring 1994 to reduce duplication between the two. The collection has been split, rather arbitrarily, into an L&T part and a VMS part for purposes of packaging it for the DECUS Library. The NLC / Tree distribution is combined but the collection is too large for a single TK50 and thus is split across two DECUS Library part numbers. Please be aware that you only have the complete collection for Spring 1994 by obtaining both parts. Some of the material is compressed due to volume of submissions. Please read file Compressions.Txt in the index directory for information on decompressing the files. The tapes are in VMS Backup format in four save-sets: one each for [94AVMSLT...], [LT94A...], [VAX94A...], and [DECUSLIB...]. The first is the index saveset (94AVMSLT), comprising around 14000 blocks. The other is the DECUS library catalog in machine readable format (DECUSLIB) and the two parts are the VAX/L&T collection for Spring 1994 (VAX94A and LT94A). INDEX Directory ([94AVMSLT]) ----- --------- ---------- Indices and descriptions of what is on the tapes. [.tools] subdirectory contains tools needed to decompress or unpack some packed items. DECUS LIBRARY CATALOG ONLINE ([DECUSLIB]) ----- ------- ------- ------ ---------- Current machine readable catalog of DECUS library contents as straight text. The BROWSER fulltext retrieval tool is included. Also the DECUS Catalog Information System tool is included. Also present is a BROWSEable file DECUSALL.TXT which has the BROWSER indices pre-built. (This material is compressed on the tapes, expanded on the CD.) This material covers the DECUS Library catalog plus material from sig tape abstracts. (It is present on the VMS part of the tape, not the L&T part.) (Note: one of these days, we'll get a better index system, maybe like Lynx...)
