Article 41779 of comp.os.vms: Path: utkcs2!ornl!rsg1.er.usgs.gov!ukma!wupost!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!cis.ohio-state.edu!ucbvax!RML2.SRI.COM!RIC From: RIC@RML2.SRI.COM (Ric Steinberger) Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Subject: VAX SW list. Monthly Posting. Message-ID: <699292512.215211.RIC@RML2.SRI.COM> Date: 28 Feb 92 15:55:12 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Distribution: world Organization: The Internet Lines: 1457 The VAX Software List (last updated: 21 February, 1992) The following programs are available as described below. If you have additions or corrections to make, please contact me at RIC@RML2.SRI.COM. 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 retreived by sending a ONE LINE mail message to: NETSERVER@RML2.SRI.COM. The one line should say: ?PACKAGE*VAX_LIST I will also try to keep a current version of VAX_LIST.TXT (this file) available via anonymous FTP from: rml2.sri.com (128.18.22.20). 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. 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. For the usenet system of news msgs. Get 000_readme.ascii first. (1) See also UUCP and VNEWS.

Also F31 (EMACS1855-VMS-DECWINDOWS.BCK, 16MB). At MIT, get "gcc-vms.tar.Z". 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. (gcc processes foo.c into foo.s; gas processes foo.s into foo.obj; the gcc driver executes both of them for you from a single invocation of the GCC command.) GNU C C compiler for VMS and other computers. ANSI plus extensions. Compatible with other VAX languages, but no VMS debugger records produced. GNU debugger (GDB) can (?) be used for this.

Availability: S16 JOBLOG It's a terminal session logger, based on PHOTO,that provides for secure (untouched) log files. This can be handy for homework assignments because an instructor knows that the user didn't edit the log file before turning it in. It also fixes a bug in PHOTO that causes VT220 terminals to hang under certain situations. Availability: F9 KERMIT Popular file transfer utility.

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.

S17 mailserv@cerritos.edu Since so many sites offer VMSSERV, I am including the following set of instructions for reference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VMSSERV is a program which permits a user on a remote node to retrieve publicly available files. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- King's College VMSSERV information: This VMSSERV currently understands the following commands which may be abbreviated to the upper case portion in this list. Multiple command may be included in the body of a single message. Command Summary DIRectory name.type Return a list of files available together with their sizes. Wildcard characters are permitted.

To communicate with FILESERV, send an E-mail message to: FileServ@vms.ecs.rpi.edu Commands are sent in the body of the message you send to FILESERV. Several commands may be sent at one time; just put one command per line. FILESERV Commands: SENDME package Sends all parts of the specified package. 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. 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. Large files are sent only during off-peak hours. ======================================================================== All packages on vms.ecs.rpi.edu are for VMS systems. They consist of VMS_SHARE files containing compressed BACKUP save-sets that have been hexified. To de-hexify and de-compress the save-sets you first need the programs DEHEXIFY.MAR and LZDCMP.EXE. DEHEXIFY.MAR is part of the VMS Kermit distribution and LZDCMP.EXE is available on most of the more recent DECUS VAX SIG tapes. Both programs are available from this FILESERV as package FILESERV_TOOLS. <<<----------- ======================================================================== Problems, questions, and comments about FILESERV service on this system should be directed to FileServ-Mgr@vms.ecs.rpi.edu. Questions about the FILESERV software should be directed to the author of FILESERV, Matthew Madison (madison@vms.ecs.rpi.edu). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************************************************************************** As the nominal vmsnet.sources archive, we offer anonymous FTP from the cluster Black.Cerritos.EDU, White.Cerritos.EDU and mail server access from mailserv@cerritos.edu. Mailserver access is via MAILSERV@Cerritos.EDU. Place the mailserv commands in the body of the message, one line per command. You can start with 'help' and 'index'; 'send [package]partnn.share' will get you one of the parts. Alas, no wild cards are supported.

MRCserv is a MAIL ONLY based server. Mount Royal is not on the Internet so FTP access is not supported. Anonymous UUCP is also not supported. All commands to the server must be in the BODY of the message. The subject line is ignored. The address of the server is MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA MRCserv supports multiple operating systems including: AmigaDOS, PostScript, and VMS. MRCserv also contains various incarnations of Kermit including: "C", MSDOS, and VMS. To make submissions to the archive, send the uuencoded submission via email to RForster@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA. If you have any questions regarding MRCserv or the contents of the archive, send them to RForster@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA. MRCserv is a MAIL ONLY based server. Mount Royal is not on the Internet so FTP access is not supported. Anonymous UUCP is also not supported. All commands to the server must be in the BODY of the message. The subject line is ignored. The address of the server is MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA MRCserv supports multiple operating systems including: AmigaDOS, PostScript, VMS and UNIX. MRCserv also contains various incarnations of Kermit including: "C", MSDOS, and VMS. To make submissions to the archive, send the uuencoded submission via email to RForster@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA or via BITNET to RFORSTER@UNCANET (VMS w/Jnet). If you have any questions regarding MRCserv or the contents of the archive, send them to WRSturm@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MRCserv - Mount Royal College Mail Server Last updated: 23-Jul-91 ----------------------------------------- ------------------------ Commands: CD - change working directory DIR - list a directory DIR -d - list subdirectories only DIR -s nn - list files added to archive in the last 'nn' days EXIT - finishes request GET - sends you one or more files Adding the qualifer UUENCODE to the end of the GET command will force the file to be uuencoded. This is good for long lines in source code. | ie GET [AMIGA.UTILS.MUSIC]MED_310.LZH UUENCODE HELP - sends you this help LS - briefly list a directory LS -d - briefly subdirectories only LS -s nn - briefly list files added in last 'nn' days PATH - Path from MRCserv to you. (if your using "!" paths make the address end with a .UUCP domain ie. foo!bar.uucp) If PATH is not supplied, MRCSERV will use the Return-Path: header. This may cause problems with UUCP sites. If you have not received a response within a reasonable time, send a message to postmaster@janus.mtroyal.ab.ca. PARTSIZE - Size of the parts MRCserv sends out to you, Default is 100 VMS disk blocks, which is approximately 750 lines. (750 * 64 char/line = 48K char/part). The maximum is 195 blocks or almost 100,000 bytes. PUT - Put a file in the archive. (must be validated first). Not implemented yet. VIEW - Allows you to view to contents of an ARC, LHARC, or ZOO archive. Extensions: ZOO - ZOO file ZUU - UUencoded ZOO file ARC - ARC file AUU - UUencoded ARC file LZH - LHARC file LUU - UUencoded LHARC file LHW - LhWarp file DIR - VMS directory file WRP - Warp file UUE - UUencoded executable ABC - ABasiC file | MRCSERV is currently undergoing a restructuring of its' directory | trees. Once the reorganization is complete, all archives will be | converted to LHARC archives. | Wildcards directory and file specifications are allowable with the | DIR command. These follow standard VMS wildcard rules. Subdirectories can be accessed via the CD command. For example, if you see a file with the extension .DIR (ie ARCHIVERS.DIR), CD to it by issuing the command CD [ARCHIVERS] (case insensitive, brackets are not required). To move to the parent directory issue the command CD [-] (Brackets are required) To move to the root directory issue command CD [000000] Binary files (ZOO/ARC/LZH/EXE) will be uuencoded before being sent. Files larger than 100 VMS disk blocks will be sent in multiple parts. You will be informed of the number of parts in the server's response. You can change the 'split factor' with the PARTSIZE command. All files will be sent as separate messages (except HELP and DIR). You may only transfer 5000 VMS disk blocks during any one session. In the reply sent by MRCserv, your commands are preceded by a less-than sign "<". MRCserv responses are preceded by a greater-than sign ">". MRCserv now places the request number in the 'personal name' header item, ie. 'FROM: (MRCserv request 123) ' The request number is displayed in the response file so you should now be able to figure out where those INDEX.LIS files are comming from.

VMS_SHARE packages files for mailing, automatically breaking up large files into smaller parts. Files are encoded to protect them from the harmful effects of some mailers. This new VMS_SHARE supports encoding of binary files, though it doesn't do as well as MFTU does (which is to be expected given the different methods). VMS_SHARE is distributed as a ZIP archive. Consequently, you'll need UnZip v5.0 to decompress the files. If you just want the UnZip .EXE file (linked under VMS v5.1), you can ask for the package UNZIP_EXE. The files will be available via anonymous ftp shortly from ftp.spc.edu (it's apparently down at the moment); you'll need: [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]VMS_SHARE.ZIP To get the new VMS_SHARE via e-mail, send the following commands (without the comments) in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET: SEND VMS_SHARE SEND UNZIP_EXE !If you don't have UnZip v5.0 You can get the latest ZIP and UNZIP by sending the following commands: SEND ZIP-UNZIP SEND FILESERV_TOOLS Or as ZIP-UNZIP.BCK_Z at ftp.spc.edu.

This version includes a /DELETE qualifier to control whether deleted files are shown or not (default is not to show them). It also includes the ability to display a directory tree with disk space totals (sort of similar to a directory/grand/total). The output is fairly gruesome at this time, hopefully I'll make it somewhat prettier at some point, but I figured some folks might want to use it before then, and maybe even suggest a better format. You can get a copy by sending a one line message to the above mentioned mailserver containing the line: "SEND FILE.PACKAGE". A new version of CD_PLAYER is also available. This version is layed out somewhat differently, with more menu items (and menu shortcuts), and an option for saving customize settings. An album database is supported, but still no song database (it's coming some day - really). To request a copy of this program, use a line of "SEND CD.PACKAGE". I rather suspect Hunter Goatley will have them available on his FTP server shortly.

A great deal of work has been put into making this collection, and both DECUS and Washington University would like to thank the many people who spent the thousands of hours necessary to make it possible. The VMS and L&T SIG tapes are available for anonymous FTP from wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4]. All of the various parts of this tape are stored in the directory "/decus/vms92b" and "/decus/lt92b". Please retrieve the file "COPYING" first since it contains important information you will need to copy the BACKUP savesets. Please note that wuarchive.wustl.edu is a dedicated archive system and may be used without restriction 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Washington University regrets that under no circumstances can it provide copies of the DECUS Symposia on any form of media, nor can it honor requests for individual files from the Symposia tapes. Questions about the Washington University archives (only) should be e-mailed to archives@wugate.wustl.edu. The approximate sizes of the SIG tapes are shown below, in kilobytes (1 kilobyte is 2 disk blocks): 92bvaxlt 6573 KB decuslib 11888 KB lt92b 110926 KB * vms92b 144074 KB * Note: the GNU software has been removed from the lt92b saveset.
