     This directory tree contains Version 1.2 of DECUS uucp (formerly
     "VMSnet software"), a package which allows VMS systems to exchange
     mail and network news with other systems (including Unix systems, and
     VMS systems running this software) using the uucp "g" protocol.  It is
     being distributed via the Spring '90 U.S.  DECUS VAX SIG Symposium
     Tape, via the DECUS Program Library, and via direct mail.  This
     version completely replaces Versions 0.2 and 1.1, found on previous
     VAX SIG tapes.  Geoff Huston's ANU News, Version 5.9C, with several
     minor additions (for uucp integration), is included.

          Everything here has been compiled and linked under VMS V5.2.
     (Version 1.1, which was present on the Spring '89 VAX SIG tape
     (Atlanta), runs under both VMS V4.7 and V5.)

          Full documentation is in [.UUCP.DOC]USRGD12.MEM, and in other
     files described therein.

          Restoring these files to disk will create a single directory
     tree, [UUCP...].  The total space required for these files is about
     40,000 blocks.  23,000 blocks of this are a compressed BACKUP saveset,
     [UUCP]DEVEL.BKP-Z, which contains source files, object files, and
     development tools; if you have no plans to work on the software, you
     don't need to restore this to disk.  Use a qualifier such as
     /EXCLUDE=DEVEL.BKP-Z on your backup command.

          If you do want the files from DEVEL.BKP-Z, use the tools
     "compress" and "modatt" in this package to restore it.  Instructions
     are in the documentation.  After decompression the saveset will take
     about 43,000 blocks; the files inside it total somewhat less than this
     due to BACKUP's overhead.

[TAPE EDITOR'S NOTE:
  Due to space constraints, some files here have been compressed with
ZOO. These must be extracted to have the full distribution in unpacked
form as Jamie provided it. This is done by commands like
$zoo:==$disk_where_S90_tapes_are:[90avaxlt.tools]zoo
$set def [where a .zoo file is]
$zoo e file.zoo
$delete file.zoo. ! optional if you want to remove the zoo file.

I also decompressed and rebuilt the DEVEL.BKP-Z file. By using
/NOCRC and /GROUP=0, and deleting a debug executable and .olb
(non debug versions are there) due to extreme lack of room, I
got the saveset down to 28539 blocks uncompressed. The file
attributes are exactly as in the documents and Jamie's version
of compress was used to compress it. As a result, the compressed
saveset now occupies 13089 blocks. This allows the tape to fit on
one reel. <whew!>
