(Note that SUPERCEDE.TXT has not been updated since the Fall of 1981.) On a disk with a cluster factor of 3 the allocated size will be about 10% higher. You are free, of course, name the root directories anything you want to. The above names were chosen to put the creation date in the name and at the same time make the lexical order of the names correspond to their calandar order. A description of some of the files contained in [VAX000] 0README.1ST - This file. 84ABMEMO.TXT - Loading and copying instructions. Please pass a hardcopy copy of this memo along with each copy of the Spring 84 tape. AAAREADME.81B - The AAAREADME.TXT files from the Fall 1982 tape concatenated into one file. The AAAREADME.yys files provide an overview of the contents of each tape. Almost every submission has additional documentation in AAAREADME.DOC or somethingelse.DOC, .TXT, .MEM (or a .RNO which can be made into a .MEM with RUNOFF), or a .1ST. AAAREADME.82A - The AAAREADME.TXT files from the Spring 1982 tape concatenated into one file. AAAREADME.82B - The AAAREADME.TXT files from the Fall 1982 tape concatenated into one file. AAAREADME.83A and AAAREADME.83B - The AAAREADME.TXT files for the Spring 1983 tapes concatenated into one file per tape. AAAREADME.83C and AAAREADME.83D - The AAAREADME.TXT files for the Fall 1983 tapes concatenated into one file per tape. AAAREADME.84A and AAAREADME.84B - The AAAREADME.TXT files for the Spring 1984 tapes concatenated into one file per tape. BUILDREAD.COM - A command file to build one large AAAREADME.nnn file from all the AAAREADME.TXT files on the directory tree. This command file checks file attributes and creates a uniform output file. COPYTREES.COM - An easy way to copy a VAX SIG tape (or tapes) from disk to tape. COPYTREES uses TREESIZE.COM and TREETAPE.COM. It uses VAXyys.SIZ if it exists or creates a new one if it does not. [.INDEX] - A set of indexes into the tapes. [.TEMP] - A temporary storage place for temp files while generating the tapes. SUBMIT.TXT and TEMPLATE.RNO - Useful information for preparing a submission to a symposium tape. TREE*.84A - The tape distribution tree for the Spring 1984 tape. Joe Bingham VAX SIG Librarian ManTech International 2320 Mill Road Alexandria, VA 22314 (703) 838 5600
