- The DECUServe conferencing system supplies a simple NOTES reader with the
- notesfiles they put on the DECUS Symposia tapes/CD's. It is available on
- DECUServe as well (VAX_NOTES_UTILITY notes 343.*), and I've just added it to
- the anonymous FTP server on ftp.spc.edu (192.107.46.27) as VAX-NOTES-READER.
- TXT in the default directory.

- You may have problems running it under MS-DOS (it's in VAX Fortran) and
- NOTES conference files are RMS indexed files, which have no usable represen-
- tation under MS-DOS. However, it should be a start for you.
