- I am posting this for the DECUS Library, please send all inquiries to the
- address indicated.
-
-
- The DECUS Library can now accept some submissions electronically. The
- following are the guidelines for submitting material to the DECUS Library
- via electronic means.
-
-
- Guidelines for Electronic submission to the DECUS Library.
-
- 1. Items can be submitted to the DECUS Library electronically. The only
- current electronic method is via Electronic Mail. Mail can be Internet or
- from the DECUServe system via DECnet. The addresses are
- decuslibrary@decus.org from the Internet or TOPAZ::DECUSLIBRARY from the
- DECUServe system.
-
- 2. Submissions need to be smaller than 2000 VAX disk blocks (1 MB) in size in
- order to be submitted electronically. Anything larger than that must be
- submitted using a magnetic media.
-
- 3. Submissions still require that a signed Library Submission form be
- filled out a sent into the Library. The form, which is attached, can
- either be sent through normal Mail (US Mail) or FAXed to (508) 841-3357.
- A submission will not be processed if a Library Submission form is not
- received. When you send in the electronic submission of the software, you
- will need to indicate whether you are sending the submission form in
- through the Postal service or FAX. The Postal address for the submission
- form is:
-
- DECUS Library
- 333 South St, SHR1-4 /D33
- Shrewsbury, MA 01545-4195
-
- 4. Submissions can be of any type the Library currently accepts. They can be
- DOS, Macintosh, RSX, RT, IAS, VMS, TOPS, Ultrix, etc. Since electronic mail
- is an ascii only system, you will most likely have to encode the submission to
- send it through E-Mail. The following are supported ways of encoding the
- submission:
-
- UUENCODEd files
- MFTU Encoded files
- VMS_Share submissions
- Unix SHARE submissions
-
- The Library can also handle the following formats which can be used to
- compress the file for mailing:
-
- LZW Compress or GNU Compress Files (including BACKUP Savesets)
- UNIX Compress
- VMS Compressed Libraries
- ZIP Archives
- ARC Archives
- ZOO Archives
- LHARC Archives
-
- 5. In many cases the Library will be able to accept a source code submission
- and generate the objects and executable images. Some times it may be required
- to have the full submission, including the objects and executable as part of
- the submission. If you only want to submit the source, please insure that a
- good command procedure or make file or other script is supplied to rebuild the
- program(s). It is encouraged to have you check about submitting source only
- before doing such. Such message should be sent to decuslibrary@decus.org.
-
- 6. Extremely small submissions may be collected to be put into a larger
- submission. Such items would be command procedures and small utility
- programs of like types (system manager utilities). Full credit will be given
- to each submittor for their submission.
-
- 7. Any questions on this procedure can be sent to the DECUSLIBRARY e-mail
- address.
-
-
- If the software is being submitted electronically, please note ELECTRONIC
- under Media Type and the date it was sent.
