GCE Fall 1989 Cornucopia Submitted by Glenn C. Everhart 25 Sleigh Ride Rd. Glen Mills, Pa 19342 215 358 3866 home work: GE Aerospace Technology Everhart%Arisia.decnet@crd.GE.com 215 354 7610 The following items are present: [.ANALY...] AnalytiCalc spreadsheet update. Some new addressing modes and features are added, and the documentation has been upgraded, I hope noticeably. Tha Amiga version has been seriously upgraded and is presented in source and exe also. [.AMIGAUUCP] UUCP 1.0 for Amiga, with all sources (in C). Implements UUCP G protocol and works very nicely; zoo'd. [.NET89B...] Numerous items from Internet sources. Both programs and arcane knowledge are present. Items such as a laserwriter symbiont and IBM tape readers, REMOTE VIRTUAL MAGTAPE, mail tools, vms MORE, Sixel, TAR, snap, vms Share, and much more are included. ZT*.* is the remote tape. [.VAXNET...] Latest VAXnet with Gerson Cohen's Xmodem-CRC patch added and rebuilt. Presented here so that the complete package can be conveniently obtained. [.VMSVD...] Major bugfixes and extensions to VD: drivers and FD: driver. I now use vddriver4a in production, and fddrv6. Drivers are reliable and usable. Provided functionality includes contiguous file virtual disks (vd:) with easily controlled geometry to match disk size to DEC disks; memory disk in process memory; crypto disks which encrypt all data prior to storage; file disks where a NONcontiguous file can be a disk; file disks backed by memory disks, so that reads occur with the speed of memory disk, but writes are done to a file so the disk is nonvolatile; and remote virtual disks over DECnet. Remote disks over asynch lines and compressing disks are partially present. A preliminary shadowing virtual disk is present. (Extension to support a striping disk driver shouldn't be that hard if there's any great interest in it...just copy the IRP, ship all copies out, then complete the I/O when all are done.) [.MDDUPD] Updates to John Osudar's old memory virtual disk (in nonpaged pool) for V5; V4 version from old VAX tapes also present for completeness. [.CKSLID...] C Kermit with sliding windows, and improved VMS support. By Colette Yanosov, sent to me for inclusion on the tapes. (It has been sent to Columbia also for merging with the official C kermit.) [.PGPLOT...] Device independent plotting package from Caltech; useful for drawing graphs on VAX display devices. T.J. Pearson.
