============== file [SUMEX-AIM]<INFO-MAC>00ORDER..2 follows =============== INFO-MAC ORDERING INFORMATION June 13,1985 WHAT YOU GET The tapes are a copy of the entire info-mac directory at Sumex, without the SUMACC C compiler distribution. Included are the bulletin board archives, downloadable versions of Macintosh software, utilities that run on unix, TOPS-20 and VMS machines, and an updated release of the SEAGATE Ethernet/AppleTalk software. The SUMACC distribution is available on another tape also from Maria Code, for the same (described in the file SUMACC.ORDER). WHAT YOU NEED The tapes are recorded at 1600bpi on a 1200 foot reel. You may order the tape in either of two formats, UNIX tar or TOPS-20 dumper. The executable files on both should be identical. To download files you will need a copy of MacTerminal or Kermit and a terminal link to your mainframe. The included MACPUT and MACGET files will download Mac binary files directly. To download hex versions you will have to either convert them before downloading with XBIN or after with BINHEX. The hex encoding scheme was developed by Compuserve MAUG to allow software transfer over 7 bit paths. Downloading is still in part a black art and lacks good documentation. CAVEAT EMPTOR There is software in this distribution from many sources. Much of it is under copyright which must be retained on all copies of this software. Authors are usually jealous about being the first to know of any fixes or enhancements made to their work: You should take seriously the responsibility to report these back to them, for incorporation into future releases. Be advised that no warrantee is expressed or implied in this tape distribution. You are basically on your own.
