C Swing is distributed in parts so that you may just get what you want: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CSWING_Vnnn_SRCDOC.ZIP - includes all sources (including documentation sources) that you would need to build C Swing from scratch using either: VAX C on OpenVMS VAX DEC C on OpenVMS AXP Just execute BUILD.COM; it will use MMS if it's available. CSWING_Vnnn_VAXEXE.ZIP - includes executables, help library, and manual for running under OpenVMS VAX. This is all you need to actually use C Swing and MOST on a VAX. CSWING_Vnnn_VAXOBJ.ZIP - includes the object files in case you don't have VAX C and need to re-link for an older version of VMS. CSWING_Vnnn_AXPEXE.ZIP - includes executables, help library, and manual for running under OpenVMS AXP. This is all you need to actually use C Swing and MOST on an AXP. CSWING_Vnnn_AXPOBJ.ZIP - includes the object files in case you don't have DEC C and need to re-link for an older version of VMS. Note: If you get C Swing, it includes standalone MOST, a file viewer; you do not need to get MOST.ZIP, which just includes the standalone MOST. FTP hints for the new user: If you are using TGV's MultiNet, Wollongong's PathWay, Process Software's TCPware, or CMUIP (now free), then you can just use "mget CSWING_*.ZIP", and the file attributes will be preserved. [This is known as "STRU O VMS" mode.] Otherwise, remember to change to binary mode before using get or mget for the ZIP files. This currently includes Digital's TCP/IP Services for VMS (a.k.a. UCX), which doesn't support "STRU O VMS". Also, use binary mode if you need to transfer the UNZIP executable(s).
