X                                          (last updated:  03 June, 1992)
X
XThe following programs are available as described below.  If you have additi
Vons
Xor corrections to make, please contact me at RIC@RML2.SRI.COM.  Please
Xsubmit ALL application-specific questions to the originators of the codes.
XAvailability codes are at the end of the list. `20
X
XNOTE:   A current version of this file may be retreived by sending a ONE LIN
VE
X        mail message to:  NETSERVER@RML2.SRI.COM.  The one line should say:
X        ?PACKAGE*VAX_LIST
X        I will also try to keep a current version of VAX_LIST.TXT (this
X        file) available via anonymous FTP from: rml2.sri.com (128.18.22.20).
X
XNOTE 2: Many people cannot access files via FTP.  It would be nice if more
X        sites obtained VMSSERV and/or NETSERVER and helped distribute some
X        of these utilities.
X        I have been informed that a BITNET FTP server exists.  Allegedly
X        it will provide help if you send a one-line message containing the
X        word HELP.  This service is available only to those sites with
X        direct access to BITNET.   The server is: BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET.
X
XNOTE 3: Servers can be ugly.  There are some directions for using VMSSERV
X        at the end of this message.  If you have trouble using VMSSERV or
X        other mail servers, you might try to contact the author via email,
X        or, if necessary, send a message to: POSTMASTER@HOST or`20
X        SYSTEM@HOST.  That ought to get someone's attention. %-)
X
XNOTE 4: A variety of Software Utilities and programs are available from the
X        vmsnet.sources archive.  Rather than try to merge them all into this
X        list, I have included a message from Bruce Tanner, posted near the e
Vnd
X        of this file.  Be sure to take a look there if you don't find what
X        what you're looking for below.
X
XNOTE 5: For FTP users:  Many of the programs listed below are in a directory
X        below the ANONYMOUS login directory.  It's too difficult for me to
X        try to keep track of where everything is.  Therefore, people may hav
Ve
X        to hunt around a bit in the subdirectories to find what they want.
X        It would be *helpful* if FTP sites maintained some kind of outline
X        in the top-level anonymous directory that explained what is`20
X        available in the various subdirectories.

XIn the anonymous tree we have DIR listings of the last 2 Decus CDROMS and
Xthe Fall 90 sig tape. Also there, at least till we need the space,
Xis the ENTIRE F90 combined (VAX, L&T, RSX, etc) sig tape, visible
Xas the individual files.
X
XThe instructions in the `5B000000`5D anonymous directory also show how to
Xaccess the last 2 Decus CDROM collections either for anonymous FTP or
XNFS mounting. It is best to FTP the CDROM's directory listing from
Xthe ANONYMOUS tree first, and then FTP to (or NFS mount) the DISC
Xitself for individual files.
X
XTGV's Multinet allows only one tree for the ANONYMOUS account, so we have
Xspecific accounts for the Decus CDROMs each of which contains a particular
XSymposium's SIG tape plus assorted other stuff.

XFILESERV information - 29-MAY-1992
X----------------------------------
X
XFILESERV is a file distribution service that uses electronic mail
Xfacilities to deliver files.  To communicate with FILESERV, send an
XE-mail message to:
X
X        FileServ@WKUVX1.BITNET
X
XIf you have trouble reaching WKUVX1, you might try one of the following
Xaddresses:
X
X        FILESERV%WKUVX1.BITNET@ukcc.uky.edu
X        FILESERV%WKUVX1.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu
X
XCommands are sent in the body of the message you send to FILESERV.
XSeveral commands may be sent at one time; just put one command per line.
X
XFILESERV Commands:
X
X    SENDME package       Sends all parts of the specified package.
X    SENDME package.ext   Sends part 'ext' of the specified package.
X
X    LIST ALL             Return brief description of all the packages
X                         available.
X
X    LIST `5Bpattern`5D       Gives brief description of all packages
X                         matching "pattern".  If pattern is omitted,
X                         a description of all packages is sent.
X
X    HELP                 Sends this file.
X
XCommands may be abbreviated.  DIRECTORY is a synonym for LIST.
X
XFor each request you make, a transaction log is returned to you
Xindicating the status of the request.  The status report will indicate
Xwhether the request was successfully completed, and when the file was or
Xwill be sent.
X
X========================================================================
X
XAll packages on WKUVX1.BITNET are for VMS systems.  They consist of
XVMS_SHARE files containing compressed BACKUP save-sets that have been
Xhexified or MFTU'ed.  To de-hexify and de-compress the save-sets you
Xfirst need the programs DEHEXIFY.MAR, MFTU.EXE, and LZDCMP.EXE.
XDEHEXIFY.MAR is part of the VMS Kermit distribution, MFTU is available
Xvia e-mail from WKUVX1, and LZDCMP.EXE is available on most of the more
Xrecent DECUS VAX SIG tapes.  Both programs are available from this
XFILESERV as package FILESERV_TOOLS.
X
X========================================================================

X
XSince so many sites offer VMSSERV, I am including the following set of
Xinstructions for reference.
X
X----------------------------------------------------------------------------
V---
X
X     VMSSERV is a program which permits a user on a remote node  to  retriev
Ve
X     publicly  available  files.  VMSSERV requires VAX/VMS 4.+ and Jnet V2 o
Vr
X     later.
X
X     The user communicates with VMSSERV using a small vocabulary of commands
V.
X     These  commands can be sent to VMSSERV either as interactive messages o
Vr
X     via valid RFC822 format memos.  Commands sent via mail are  included  i
Vn
X     the  body  of  the  memo, not in the Subject:  line.  A memo may contai
Vn
X     more than one command as long as there is only one command per line.
X
X     VMSSERV provides file service similar to that provided  by  LISTSERV  o
Vn
X     IBM  VM  systems.  Currently, VMSSERV acts only as a file server.  Ther
Ve
X     are no plans at this time to include any list serving features.
X
X
XCommands
X
X     VMSSERV currently  understands  the  following  commands  which  may  b
Ve
X     abbreviated to the upper case portion in this list:
X
X     DIRectory `5Bfile-spec`5D      Return a list of files available
X
X     GET `5Bfile-spec`5D            Synonym for SENDME
X
X     HELP                       Return a list of valid commands
X
X     INDex `5Bfile-spec`5D          Return a files called 'file-spec' FILELI
VST
X
X     SENdme `5Bfile-spec`5D         Return a file
X
X     STATUS                     Return status information (Interactive only)
X
X     VMSdump `5Bfile-spec`5D        Return a file in VMSDUMP format.  Recomm
Vended
X                                for transferring files (especially binary)
X                                to another VAX/VMS system running
X                                Jnet V2 or later.
X
X     PUNch `5Bfile-spec`5D          Return a file in IBM Punch format
X
X     ?                          Synonym for HELP
X
X     Please note that VMSDUMP and PUNCH within the body of a mail
Xmessage will not send the file in VMSDUMP or PUNCH format, the file
Xwill be mailed back.
X
XTransferring Binary Files
X
X     You can transfer binary files (.EXE, .TSK, .SAV) to a remote system onl
Vy
X     if  you  are  running  Jnet  V2  or  later  system.  These files must b
Ve
X     transferred with the VMSDUMP command.  For example,
X
X     $ SEND VMSSERV@FHCRCVAX VMSDUMP FILE.PACKAGE
X
X     VMSDUMP is recommended for all requests from Jnet nodes as  it  protect
Vs
X     you from any non-standard character set conversion.
X
X
XVMS File Specifications
X
X     Filenames on DEC systems use a DOT ('.') to separate the  filename  fro
Vm
X     the filetype.  For example,
X
X          SEND FILE PACKAGE          Is INCORRECT
X          SEND FILE.PACKAGE          Is CORRECT
X
XLarge Files
X
X        Files larger than 200 blocks will not be sent until after 20:00 PST
X
X$PACKAGE files
X        Files with the type of .$PACKAGE simply contain a list of files
Xthat belong together (i.e. part of acomplete package). If you request the
Xfile Utility.PACKAGE, the file Utility.$PACKAGE will be read, and all
Xthe files it describes will be sent to you. Note that there is not really
Xa file called Utility.PACKAGE, however that is what you should request!
X
X        For example, part of a DIR listing includes something like:
X        HEADERS.$PACKAGE
X        HEADERS.1_OF_2
X        HEADERS.2_OF_2
X
X        If you request HEADERS.PACKAGE, the file HEADERS.$PACKAGE will
Xbe read (which simply contains the names of the HEADER.n_OF_n files),
Xand the two files HEADERS.n_OF_n will be sent to you.
X
X---------------------------------------------------------------------------
XKing's College VMSSERV information:
X
XThis VMSSERV currently understands the following commands which may be
Xabbreviated to the upper case portion in this list. Multiple command may be
Xincluded in the body of a single message.
X
X
XCommand Summary
X
XDIRectory name.type    Return a list of files available together with their
X                       sizes. Wildcard characters are permitted.
