From: SMTP%"RELAY-INFO-VAX@CRVAX.SRI.COM" 9-APR-1994 15:13:14.91 To: EVERHART CC: Subj: VAX Software List (1 of 2) Date: Fri, 01 Apr 1994 18:12:30 -0800 (PST) From: Tigger Subject: VAX Software List (1 of 2) To: info-vax@sri.com Message-Id: <01HAO4RJKJB68Y5EQ3@POMONA.CLAREMONT.EDU> X-Vms-To: IN%"info-vax@sri.com" X-Vms-Cc: GREG Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Fruit-Of-The-Day: bitter melon +-+-+-+-+ BEGIN PART 1 +-+-+-+-+ The VAX Software List (last updated: 1 April, 1994) The following programs are available as described below. If you have additions or corrections to make, please contact me at GREG@POMONA.CLAREMONT.EDU. Please submit ALL application-specific questions to the originators of the codes. Availability codes are at the end of the list. NOTE: A current version of this file may be obtained via anonymous ftp from pomona.claremont.edu (134.173.4.160). Please try to restrict ftp usage to times other than weekdays 10am-10pm, PST (GMT-0800). If you must ftp during these hours, please use acme.claremont.edu (134.173.4.162). It is also available by sending e-mail to VMSSERV@POMONA.CLAREMONT.EDU with the command SEND VAX_LIST.PACKAGE in the body of the message. On BITNET, the address is VMSSERV@POMONA, and either e-mail or an interactive message will do the trick. If you use an interactive message and you are on a VMS system running JNET, you should use VMSDUMP in place of SEND. NOTE 2: Many people cannot access files via FTP. It would be nice if more sites obtained VMSSERV and/or NETSERVER and helped distribute some of these utilities. I have been informed that a BITNET FTP server exists. Allegedly it will provide help if you send a one-line message containing the word HELP. This service is available only to those sites with direct access to BITNET. The server is: BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET. Also try FTPMAIL@gatekeeper.dec.com. This is supposed to provide FTP access to non-internet sites NOTE 3: Servers can be ugly. There are some directions for using VMSSERV at the end of this message. If you have trouble using VMSSERV or other mail servers, you might try to contact the author via email, or, if necessary, send a message to: POSTMASTER@HOST or SYSTEM@HOST. That ought to get someone's attention. %-) NOTE 4: A variety of Software Utilities and programs are available from the vmsnet.sources archive. Rather than try to merge them all into this list, I have included a message from Bruce Tanner, posted near the end of this file. Be sure to take a look there if you don't find what what you're looking for below. NOTE 5: For FTP users: Many of the programs listed below are in a directory below the ANONYMOUS login directory. It's too difficult for me to try to keep track of where everything is. Therefore, people may have to hunt around a bit in the subdirectories to find what they want. It would be *helpful* if FTP sites maintained some kind of outline in the top-level anonymous directory that explained what is available in the various subdirectories. =============================================================================== ANU NEWS A news program for VMS.

That's a compressed tar archive (ie, Unix packaging) which contains everything you'll need (compiler binaries for VMS, driver routine with CLD definition and some documentation, and '.h' header files; the latter have been improved but still need work--the next set should be better). It does _not_ contain the gcc sources. gcc-vms currently contains executables for gcc v1.39 and gas v1.38.1+ (the "+" indicating that some essential VMS-specific buglied to 1.38.1) and also an old version of bison. Bison is a yacc work-alike td gcc or gas from sources. Gas is the GNU assembler; it's the backend code generator for gcc.

Most sites supplying compressed files also supply decompressing tools. Not all compress/decompress utilities are equal! The version from MIT will not work without modifications. Charles Karney of Princeton University (see BOSS, above) was kind enough to send me a difference file between a working VMS version and the MIT distribution. Probably MIT should fix their compress to work as well on VMS as it does on every other OS and computer (MIT, are you listening?). SOURCES: F -> Anonymous FTP, E -> EMAIL to person, S -> SERVER M -> Postal Service, D -> DECUS tape, P -> Packet radio Be sure to use BINARY mode on FTP of executables and backups. D1 Spring 89 VAX SIG tape D2 Spring 90 VAX SIG tape [see FALL 90 SIG Tape too] D3 Spring 1988 L&T SIG Tape -----The following note is from Barton.Bruce@camb.com [Barton F. Bruce]------ In the anonymous tree we have DIR listings of the last 2 Decus CDROMS and the Fall 90 sig tape. Also there, at least till we need the space, is the ENTIRE F90 combined (VAX, L&T, RSX, etc) sig tape, visible as the individual files. The instructions in the [000000] anonymous directory also show how to access the last 2 Decus CDROM collections either for anonymous FTP or NFS mounting. It is best to FTP the CDROM's directory listing from the ANONYMOUS tree first, and then FTP to (or NFS mount) the DISC itself for individual files. TGV's Multinet allows only one tree for the ANONYMOUS account, so we have specific accounts for the Decus CDROMs each of which contains a particular Symposium's SIG tape plus assorted other stuff. Here are the 2 CDROMS we are currently trying to keep mounted: vol label FTP LOGIN as: NFS MOUNT as: Decus CDROM / Sig tape VS0121 CDRDR_VS0121 DISK$VS0121 # 7 / Spring 90 VS0126 CDRDR_VS0126 DISK$VS0126 # 8 / Fall 90 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E1 KARNEY@PRINCETON.EDU Charles Karney E2 BELONIS@PHAST.PHYS.WASHINGTON.EDU J.

SENDME package.n Sends part 'n' of the specified package. LIST [pattern] Gives brief description of all packages matching "pattern". If pattern is omitted, a description of all packages is sent. QUIT Causes all remaining lines to be ignored (useful for skipping signatures, etc.). HELP Sends this file. Commands may be abbreviated. DIRECTORY is a synonym for LIST. For each request you make, a transaction log is returned to you indicating the status of the request. The status report will indicate whether the request was successfully completed, and when the file was or will be sent. Problems, questions, and comments about FILESERV service on this system should be directed to FILESERV-Mgr@WKUVX1.bitnet. ================================================================================ FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET Western Kentucky University Last updated: 27-MAY-1993 15:08 (Updated JED091 to jed v0.91h) 25-MAY-1993 15:18 (Updated XSHARE to V1.2) 25-MAY-1993 10:55 (Updated NEWSRDR to V4.2-6) 24-MAY-1993 15:58 (Updated GNU sed to SED-1-16) 22-MAY-1993 18:44 (Added JED091) 21-MAY-1993 11:54 (Updated LASER) 20-MAY-1993 09:15 (Updated NEWSRDR) 10-MAY-1993 15:09 (Added MX033, added DIRUTL) 3-MAY-1993 07:48 (Updated TSCON to V4.1b) ================================================================================ The following VMS programs and files are available from the Western Kentucky University file server (FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET).

VMSSERV requires VAX/VMS 4.+ and Jnet V2 or later. The user communicates with VMSSERV using a small vocabulary of commands. These commands can be sent to VMSSERV either as interactive messages or via valid RFC822 format memos. Commands sent via mail are included in the body of the memo, not in the Subject: line. A memo may contain more than one command as long as there is only one command per line. VMSSERV provides file service similar to that provided by LISTSERV on IBM VM systems. Currently, VMSSERV acts only as a file server. There are no plans at this time to include any list serving features. Commands VMSSERV currently understands the following commands which may be abbreviated to the upper case portion in this list: DIRectory [file-spec] Return a list of files available GET [file-spec] Synonym for SENDME HELP Return a list of valid commands INDex [file-spec] Return a files called 'file-spec' FILELIST SENdme [file-spec] Return a file STATUS Return status information (Interactive only) VMSdump [file-spec] Return a file in VMSDUMP format. Recommended for transferring files (especially binary) to another VAX/VMS system running Jnet V2 or later. PUNch [file-spec] Return a file in IBM Punch format ? Synonym for HELP Please note that VMSDUMP and PUNCH within the body of a mail message will not send the file in VMSDUMP or PUNCH format, the file will be mailed back. Transferring Binary Files You can transfer binary files (.EXE, .TSK, .SAV) to a remote system only if you are running Jnet V2 or later system. These files must be transferred with the VMSDUMP command. For example, $ SEND VMSSERV@FHCRCVAX VMSDUMP FILE.PACKAGE VMSDUMP is recommended for all requests from Jnet nodes as it protects you from any non-standard character set conversion. VMS File Specifications Filenames on DEC systems use a DOT ('.') to separate the filename from the filetype. For example, SEND FILE PACKAGE Is INCORRECT SEND FILE.PACKAGE Is CORRECT Large Files Files larger than 200 blocks will not be sent until after 20:00 PST $PACKAGE files Files with the type of .$PACKAGE simply contain a list of files that belong together (i.e. part of acomplete package). If you request the file Utility.PACKAGE, the file Utility.$PACKAGE will be read, and all the files it describes will be sent to you. Note that there is not really a file called Utility.PACKAGE, however that is what you should request! For example, part of a DIR listing includes something like: HEADERS.$PACKAGE HEADERS.1_OF_2 HEADERS.2_OF_2 If you request HEADERS.PACKAGE, the file HEADERS.$PACKAGE will be read (which simply contains the names of the HEADER.n_OF_n files), and the two files HEADERS.n_OF_n will be sent to you. -+-+-+-+- END PART 1 -+-+-+-+-
