Fall 1988 RCA / GE Collection

The following are presented for your enjoument:

[.ANALYDOCS]    Documents for new version of AnalytiCalc spreadsheet
[.ANALYOBJ]     Object files for AnalytiCalc, so you can build it without
                        having to have a compiler.
[.ANALYSRC...]  Full sources to newest AnalytiCalc spreadsheet. Featured is
                        a new way to save or load spreadsheets that is much
                        faster than in previous versions. Even older saved
                        sheets are accessed faster also.
[.BISON]        BISON for VMS, a YACC substitute that is needed for use with
                        Gnu C compiler (elsewhere on the Fall '88 VAX tapes).
[.COMPSRC]      Numerous source codes from the comp.sources archives on the
                        ARPAnet. Includes an implementation of Postscript,
                        a spreadsheet, a TECO, and several more. Index files
                        also describe other code available on that archive.
[.DECUSINDEX]   Complete online index to the DECUS library. Now you can use
                        SEARCH to locate interesting Library offerings.
[.DTC]          Desk Top Calendar update. Now a V hh:mm command allows you
                        to execute commands in appointments as well as just
                        see them.
[.GCCVMS]       Gnu C version 1.24 for VMS, from Lincoln Baxter of GE ASD.
                        This is later than the version 1.21 distributed on
                        the spring 1988 tapes. Use as a bootstrap to build the
                        latest GNU C sources.
[.MULTCOLLST]   My updates to MCL, a generic multicolumn lister derived from
                        LISTRS and submitted by Gerson Cohen for S88. Adds
                        several more controls including page length and varied
                        end of column treatment.
[.NETF88]       Gigantic cornucopia of utilities and programs obtained from
                        ARPAnet mailing lists. Includes BOSS, a program able
                        to turn a terminal into a virtual workstation, WATCH,
                        which allows watching other terminals, and much more.
                        Also included is Amiga code to go with BOSS to allow
                        up to 7 VMS processes to connect to up to 7 Amiga
                        windows via one line, all updating at once. (You can
                        have other local Amiga windows and cut/paste via
                        other standard or freely available Amiga utilities.)
        NOTE: See the file AAAFILES.TXT in this directory for one liner
        descriptions of the files contained therein.
[.VMSDS]        VMS Disassembler. Turns most VMS code from .EXE back into
                        .MAR intelligently. Works on images, shareable images,
                        drivers, system images, etc., and runs on VMS V4 or
                        V5. system calls on VMS V5 are more fully decoded.
