- Subject: Libsoft Information
-
- For the convience of your readers here is some information on the
- LIBrary SOFTware archive site.
-
- ----------------------------------- cut here --------------------------
-
- Welcome to the LIBrary SOFTware Archives of the School of Library and
- Information Science at the University of Western Ontario (HYDRA.UWO.CA)
-
- Your moderator is Gord Nickerson. Updated Sept 3 1992
-
-
- LIBSOFT contains programs of interest to librarians. File descriptions are in
- the file INDEX.TXT which you should read before transferring files. This
- site does not contain any general software (word processors, databases, etc)
- as they are easily obtainable from the archives at simtel or its mirrors
- such as wuarchive.wustl.edu. LIBSOFT also has files to help librarians make
- use of the Internet.
-
- LIBSOFT also maintains updates to Peter Scott's hypertext database
- in the \HYTELNET directory. Changes that occur between releases of
- HYTELNET versions are kept as text files with an extension of .TXT
-
- Please login as user AMONYMOUS and use your e-mail address as a password. This
- is a courtesy to the system manager who tracks these things.
-
- Please do not access this site during local working hours (9-5) as it increases
- the load on the machine. Remember, anonymous FTP is a privledge - not a right.
- Hydra is located in the EDT.
-
- Text (ASCII) files generally have the extension .TXT and can be transferred with
- the GET filename command.
-
- All program (binary) files have extensions .ZIP, .EXE or .COM and should have
- the transfer type set to binary (TYPE BINARY) before transferring with the
- GET filename command. Files with .EXE or .COM are self-extracting archives.
- After downloading the file to your PC just type the filename to extract all the
- compressed files. .ZIP files require the PKUNZIP program for extraction.
-
- NOTE: WordPerfect files (.wp5) must have the file mode set to binary before
- transferring.
-
- Direct suggestions, comments, etc to:

-
- If you have written a useful program for librarians or have used some
- public domain or shareware program specifically designed for libraries
- and would like to share it with others just drop me a line and I shall
- add it to the archives.
-
- Currently the archive is slanted towards MS-DOS. However more Mac files
- may be added in the future. Many files are in WordPerfect 5.1 format but
- for the convenience of users I will try and provide ASCII versions as well.
