The VAX Programs List
(last updated: 24 Apr, 1990)
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 applications-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. 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. %-)
