RCA Fall '86 Collection
	submitted by Glenn Everhart
HIGHLIGHTS:

	* AnalytiCalc is presented for 8088 (IBM PC/XT/AT) as well
		as PDP11 and VAX.
	* AnalytiCalc now has built-in ANnotate commands to permit
		you to add free form notes to any cells of your
		spreadsheets or to quickly display notes. This can
		be used for documenting assumptions or logic where
		a formula is too cryptic. Also, screen size can now be
		adjusted for large screen displays or ultrasmall ones.
	* A virtual disk driver for VMS is enclosed. It makes contiguous
		files behave as complete disks, permitting many kinds
		of system partitioning and security that are too expensive
		or simply impossible with vanilla VMS systems.
	* The MSDOS sources for a relational DBMS are presented to supplement
		the VMS sources on the Spring '86 tape.

The enclosed is submitted for your enjoyment:

[.analy88] - MSDOS version of AnalytiCalc. This is just the same as
		the VAX version except that the address limits are
		18,000 by 18,000 (A1 to ZPH18000), rather than
		32,000 by 32,000 as in the VAX. Requires 256K, MSDOS
		2.0 or later. Slower than the version you get if you
		register but full functionality; not broken in any way.
		Why translate models??? Use AnalytiCalc on your PCs,
		your VAXen, and your PDP11s.

[.MISC] -    Miscellaneous items. Includes VDDRIVER.MAR and ADVD.MAR
		which are virtual disk driver pieces for VMS. The
		virtual disk model is that a contiguous file becomes
		a disk by the driver messing with I/O packets. This gives
		a very low overhead system. Quite useful for having multiple
		cluster factors, "hard" quotas, a system scratch area of
		limited size, or a place to dump SIG tapes for a while
		without having to delete thousands of files when done
		with them (just delete the one container file). The extra
		niceties of RSX virtual disks will follow; this is a very
		basic package. You have to create your own files (and they
		MUST be contiguous) and files are used as multiples of
		64 blocks (due to the faked "physical" structure).
			The area also includes a few useful programs by
		Joe Meadows taken off CSnet. These include FILE (changes
		file attributes on the fly), VERB (decompiles DCL tables
		back to .CLD), MODTIME (resets file create/backup/modify date
		and time to whatever you want), and UNMSG (decompiles message
		files).
[.PCCDOC]  -  Manuals for AnalytiCalc. A cheat sheet is included too.
[.PCCOBJ]  -  Object files for AnalytiCalc so you can build it even if you
		don't have Fortran.
[.PCCUNV]  -  AnalytiCalc sources, new version. Among new features are variable
		height screens and a quick "note" feature that lets you attach
		notes to those complex formulas to tell yourself and others
		WHY you wrote them as you did, or quickly view the notes
		when examining a sheet.
[.PCDBMS]  -  Relational DBMS for MSDOS including src. Vax version appeared
		in S86 tapes; this version MAY be more portable than the
		VAX flavor just from having been ported.
[.PICGRF]  -  Graphics package someone sent me awhile back for doing beautiful
		presentation type graphics from AnalytiCalc. Presented here as
		I got it; I don't have the graphics displays handy to check
		it out.

Also present are some programs from other sources. These include:

[.DSTGNUEMX...]
GNU EMACS for VMS - This is a considerably later version of Gnu EMACS
	for VMS than was on the Spring 1986 tape, and is now fairly
	usable. It is a very complete EMACS, a super editor for all
	sorts of systems. Complete sources are present, plus docs
	and executables. Probably the most complete and powerful
	Emacs of any available for the VAX. Emacs also exists on a
	variety of other systems, has language sensitive modes, and
	can be made to emulate almost any editor you like.

[DECUSUTL.SMARTMAIL]
VAX Smartmailer - from the DECUS library, submitted to DECUS by DEC.
	This is a fairly complete mailing list manager.

[.DECUSUTL.CALCEDT]
EDT - like editor with builtin calculator option. Allows you to include
	calculations in your documents and have the editor evaluate
	the numbers.

[.UNXRDR]
Old utility that reads Unix filestructures. It's written in a fairly
	archaic dialect of Pascal and is presented because it's very
	short and hopefully someone will translate it to a language
	that can be used now. Combined with the virtual disk submission
	here, that could give VMS systems a high performance way to
	access Unixoid file structures.
