- The VMS Systems SIG and the Languages and Tools SIG of the DECUS U.S. Chapter
- have released the Spring 1992 Symposium Collection Tapes.
-
- Attached is the Abstract for this tape.
-
- The first copies of the tapes have been sent to the DECUS Library and to the
- top of the TapeCopy (LUG) Tree for distribution. Copies are also being sent
- to the normal Non-U.S. Chapter sites. Shortly, the tape should be available
- to you through your normal channel.
-
- The VMS Systems SIG and the L&T SIG would like to thank all the submittors for
- this tape. These collections would not be possible if we did not get the
- submissions.
-
- This tape was put together from submissions at the Spring 1992 DECUS
- Symposium, Atlanta, Georgia, by
-
-
- Glenn C. Everhart VAX SIG librarian
- 215 358 5875
- Everhart@Raxco.com
-
- and
-
- Ted Nieland L&T SIG Librarian
- 513 476 4639 (work) 513 426 3235 (home)
- Nieland@Ted.HCST.com
-
- with the able assistance of various volunteers.
- Al Zirkle, Dave Schmidt, Marilyn Fedele,
- and Tony Scandora deserve mention for this tape.

- Spring 1992 VMS/L&T Sig Tape Abstracts
-
-
- The L&T and VMS Systems SIGs are again producing a combined collection for
- Spring 1992 to reduce duplication between the two. The collection has been
- split, rather arbitrarily, into an L&T part and a VMS part for purposes of
- packaging it for the DECUS Library. The NLC / Tree distribution is combined but
- the collection is too large for a single TK50 and thus is split across two
- DECUS Library part numbers.
-
- Please be aware that you only have the complete collection for Spring 1992 by
- obtaining both parts. Some of the material is compressed due to volume of
- submissions. Please read file Compressions.Txt in the index directory for
- information on decompressing the files. The parts are packaged as VAX 92A and
- L&T 92A with the [92AVAXLT...] tree on both parts and the [DECUSLIB...] tree on
- the VAX92A tape (due to sizes).
-
-
