I have set up a E-MAIL reflector to this account at WB8TYW@QSL.NET.  But
stuff
sent there still goes through the corporate system.  The
jerryanne@aol.com does
not.

I have also started to populate an FTP site at  ftp.qsl.net/pub/wb8tyw/
with
some stuff.  There is a copy of it also at
http:/www.getadeal.net/downloads/VMS/ .

I will send you an E-mail when I get the next to batches copied up.  I
am
working 12 hour shifts this week covering for someone that is out.

There now is:

GZIP.EXE that can read the LINUX distribution .GZ files.  It also
supports full
VMS file specifications with wildcards, and accepts VMS "/" syntax. 
Richard
Levitte is looking it over to see about merging with his copy that also
has
some improvements.  I only built it because the freeware GZIP could not
handle
the LINUX files.

SOCKETSHR.EXE - I found some bugs, and had to fix them.

Headers for GCC/VAX to match DEC C RTL, and provide networking
definitions.
Also a more current GCC-AS and LIBERTY.OLB than available at most
archives.

SAMBA 1.9.16?  Built in DEBUG, but will run with CMU-IP.

To be uploaded:

UCXSIM_IPC_SHR.EXE - When the logical name UCX$IPC_SHR.EXE points at it,
some
DEC C programs that are precompiled to work with UCX will work with
CMU-IP/NETLIB.  It works with a test program talking to an NT echo
server.

It did not work with SAMBA though, and I do not know why, but it may be
that
SAMBA is depending on some options that I could not emulate to actually
do
something.  Someone may find it useful.


SAMBA 1.9.19 Pre-alpha test.  I have been trying to get this mess to fit
on
some floppies in a reasonable order.  But will probably just post the
source.
One component needs to be linked to sys.stb, and the code is structured
so that
every executable needs almost all of the object code.  NMBD from that
will not
run due to a deficiency in CMU-IP.
