[mod.computers.vax] software tools

G.Dair@SCORE.STANFORD.EDU.UUCP (02/04/87)

I'm interested in taking a look at the Software Tools mail system.  I
understand that it is FTP-able from Internet.  Could someone tell
me where I can find it?  I'm not on the INFO-VAX list anymore,
so you'll have to reply to me directly.

Thanks-
Willis Dair

    As our VAX is now running the Multinet TCP/IP software, there has
been a recent change in the location of the Software Tools
Distribution.

    The latest distribution of the Software Tools Mail System is
available from HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU [192.12.19.3] via FTP as the ASCII
files:

        ST_SRC:DISTN.COM        build kit for the Software Tools VOS
        ST_SRC:DOC.COM          \
        ST_SRC:VMS.COM           | sources for the Software Tools VOS
        ST_SRC:SRC.COM          /

        ST_SRC:MSGSYS.COM       sources for the Software Tools Mail System.
                                (Requires the VOS to build.)

    These are "DCL-archives". You unpack them by executing them in an
empty directory, and build them by following the instructions in
README.1ST or BUILD.DOC.  Only DISTN.COM and MSGSYS.COM are required
to build the mail system.

    This distribution includes the new drivers for Jnet V3.0 and
Excelan's TCP/IP card. Much work has been done in the conversion of
the mail system from RATFOR to C. We currently have the C version
running on PC/ATs under Xenix and on VAXen under 4.3bsd, but are not
prepared to distribute this version (yet).
