This file was last updated: Thu Mar 9 23:52:37 CST 1989 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Files available in this directory: (detailed information follows listing). Files with the suffix "_LZW" are compressed files. These files are compressed to reduce transmission time. See the notes for LZDCM for information on retrieving and decompressing them. Name Description --------------------------------------------------------------------- 000_ABOUT_COMPRESSED_FILES.TXT Decompression instructions for "_LZW" files 000_README_ABOUT_THIS_DIR.TXT This file FIX_SAVESET.C C source for FIX_SAVESET.EXE FIX_SAVESET.EXE Fix BACKUP savesets transferred in BINARY mode LASER_V2_02.BCK_LZW LaserWriter print symbiont for VMS LZ.BCK_LZW Sources for LZCMP, LZDCM LZDCM.EXE Compressed file decompressor for VMS MAKE.BCK_LZW Unix Make for VMS MG.EXE VMS executable for MG 2a MG2A.BCK_LZW Emacs-like text editor for VMS, other OS's SFMAILER010.A Store-and-forward mailer for VMS SFMAILER010.A_LZW Store-and-forward mailer for VMS (compressed) SXLPS.BCK_LZW Convert SIXEL screen dumps to PostScript THENET_NODES.COM DECnet database setup file for THENET nodes THENET_NODE_FULL.COM Includes THENET terminal servers as well THENET_TOOLS.COM Tools for manipulating above files TR2TEX.BCK_LZW Convert troff files to TeX ZETAPS.BCK_LZW Convert ZETA plot files to PostScript ------------------------------------------------------------------------- LZDCM.EXE This program will decompress files that have been compressed to save space and transmission time. Example; retrieve, decompress and list a compressed saveset. $ ftp utadnx.cc.utexas.edu ftp> binary ! IMPORTANT!!! ftp> get lzdcm.exe ftp> get laser_v2_02.bck_lzw ftp> bye $ lzdcm :== $sys$disk:[]lzdcm $ lzdcm laser_v2_02.bck_lzw laser_v2_01.bck $ delete laser_v2_02.bck_lzw; $ backup/list laser_v2_02.bck/save ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIX_SAVESET [This program has been obsoleted by the use of LZDCM] (This is of interest only if you are accessing this directory via anonymous FTP; for THENET users, DECnet takes care of this more or less automatically when you COPY the files.) When you use binary mode FTP to transfer VMS BACKUP save sets, they are transferred by default as fixed records of 512 bytes each. FIX_SAVESET.EXE is a VMS executable that changes record attributes of the file so it has 8192 byte records, which all of the BACKUP save sets in this directory have. You can use FIX_SAVESET.EXE as-is (VMS executables have 512-byte records), or compile FIX_SAVESET by getting it and typing $ cc fix_saveset $ link fix_saveset,sys$input:/opt sys$share:vaxcrtl/share <CTRL-Z> $ fix :== $sys$disk:[]fix_saveset $ fix saveset.bck NOTE: If you are using the FTP for VMS that comes with WIN/TCP from the Wollongong Group, Inc., you can avoid using FIX_SAVESET by using binary,record mode transfer instead of just binary mode transfer. This causes the file's record format to be transferred correctly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- LASER LASER is a user-written VMS print symbiont that is tailored specifically to the Apple LaserWriter family and other PostScript printers. The symbiont as distributed is configured to print normal text files in a variety of formats on the laser printer. Support is also included for printing PostScript files, MacPaint files, and Zeta plot files. See LASER.C for additional capabilities of the symbiont. LASER_V2_02.BCK_LZW is a compressed VMS BACKUP saveset of the symbiont sources and executables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAKE Make is a program maintenance tool that is widely used under Unix, and this version is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing MMS. MAKE.BCK_LZW is a compressed VMS BACKUP saveset of the sources for MAKE and a VMS executable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MG2A MG is a *very* small, Emacs-like text editor that runs under the following operating systems: AmigaDOS Atari ST OS/9-68K Primos Unix (BSD, SysV) VMS MG is designed to have the look and feel of GNU Emacs, but is small enough to run on 64K machines if necessary. MG2A.BCK_LZW is a compressed VMS BACKUP saveset containing a complete distribution of MG 2a sources, and a VMS executable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SFMAILER SFMAILER is a store-and-forward mail system for VMS. Mail sent to SF%address will be put in a queue directory for later delivery, avoiding tedious waits while VMS MAIL delivers your mail. SFMAILER010.A is a VMSINSTALlable VMS BACKUP saveset; use FIX_SAVESET to fix the record format, then SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL.COM to install it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SXLPS SXLPS converts SIXEL graphics files into PostScript, to be printed on laser printers like the Apple LaserWriter, or included in other PostScript documents. Included is documentation on setting up SXLPS for automatically printing VAXstation screen dumps over a DECnet network. SXLPS.BCK_LZW is a compressed VMS BACKUP saveset containing sources and a VMS executable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THENET_NODES.* These files aid system managers on THENET in maintaining DECNET host databases. THENET_NODES.* are standard VMS text files. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TR2TEX TR2TEX attempts to convert Unix troff source files into TeX. It's not perfect, but Unix manual pages can often be successfully converted. TR2TEX.BCK_LZW is a compressed VMS BACKUP saveset containing the sources and a VMS executable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZETAPS ZETAPS converts Nicolet Zeta plot files into PostScript for printing on PostScript printers. ZETAPS.BCK_LZW is a compressed VMS BACKUP saveset containing sources and a VMS executable. ------ ��������
