RCA Fall 1987 Collection
	This directory tree contains a GREAT variety of software for your
enjoyment and use. Following is thumbnail descriptions of the collection.

[.AMIGA]
	Several editors, spelling checkers, graphics access routines, and
	Postscript access routines, generally with source. Includes
	MicroEmacs 3.9e with sources for Amiga, IBM PC, VAX, and others.
	Also includes the latest HandShake, an excellent Amiga VT100
	emulator. Also includes the Amiga version of AnalytiCalc, with
	complete src. (Note: there are two Amiga collection tapes in the DECUS
	library which have about 120,000 blocks of Amiga software between
	them. Only a VERY small portion of the collection can be included
	here.)
[.ANALYDOC]
	Documents and graphics utility sources for AnalytiCalc V22-03B
[.ANALYOBJ]
	VMS object libraries for AnalytiCalc spreadsheet.
[.ANALYPC]
	IBM PC release of AnalytiCalc, binary and doc only.
[.ANALYSRC]
	Complete sources to AnalytiCalc spreadsheet for VAX or PDP11, plus
	auxiliary keypad files and other necessary adjuncts. You can build
	the spreadsheet from the objects in [.analyobj] but need these
	files to change anything. The RIM5 DBMS is here also as DATMGR.*
	(source only). The [.SIRA] subdirectory contains some submissions
	from Chris Doran of SIRA in England. He provided some bugfixes
	for AnalytiCalc and inspired some new functions which have been
	added to the VAX and the Amiga versions.
[.ANALYTSKPDP]
	This area contains PDP11 (RSX11M) task images of AnalytiCalc for
	RSX and POS.
[.DTC0987]
	VAX Desktop Calendar update. This is a time or meeting scheduler
	and has some short fixes from Charles Garman to correct some bugs
	which crept in.
[.FINGER]
	FINGER is a sort of remote SHOW USERS, SHOW SYSTEM, and activity
	report with many options and the ability to work over a network.
	This version merges changes from Rich Garland, Dan Cottler, Glenn
	Everhart, Bruce Zielinski, Gerry VanTrieste, and Rand Hall, plus
	others.  It fixes a potential security problem with earlier
	versions, adds a short document on customization features, will
	identify LAT terminals by LAT and port, and generally does many
	operations more cleanly on current VMS versions than the older
	Finger programs. Use it on VMS V4.5 or later.
[.LZW]
	Source and completely built Lempel Ziv Welch compress and decompress
	programs. These are used in a few places to compress files on
	the SIG tapes to save room. The LZDCM program is used to 
	decompress the compressed files. Fully linked versions are
	present as well as sources in case of problems with the new
	VMS VAX11 C runtime library. These versions do not use the
	sharable image, so will run even where there may be changes to
	it which will interfere with LZCMP and LZDCM otherwise.
[.NETNEW]
	This area contains about 10,000 blocks of utilities, advice, and
	arcane wisdom taken mostly from the Info-VAX mailing list on
	the Internet. Of special interest will be things like VI for
	TPU, two utility sets which let a single VT100 or VT200 control
	multiple processes, SWING, the BULLETIN utility from MIT (Mark
	London), LEX and YACC inputs for generating Ada parsers, and
	much more. The AAAFILES.TXT file contains further descriptions
	of most files here.
[.SSP]
	The old IBM Scientific Subroutine Package, with comments. Not the
	latest algorithms, but a generally useful package for statistical
	or other mathematical purposes. From the DECUS library, but
	with some messed-up subroutines cleaned up using code which
	was on an early RSX SIG tape. The library is now complete and
	documented by headers in front of each routine.
[.TARRDR]
	TAR format tape readers and writers for VMS. TAR format is the
	dominant tape format for file exchange with Un*x systems.
[.VMSDS]
	Executable image disassembler for VMS. Turns even the weirdest
	VMS executables into recognizable Macro-32. A new version, much
	improved over earlier ones. Complete sources are present also.
