TRUDEL@red.rutgers.edu.UUCP (01/29/87)
The following is a list of the files available throught the first distribution of the public domain library. Each program has been compiled and tested on a Pyramid machine. Each set of files has a man page or README file which will describe the program's function. Where relevant, the program sources have been standardized so that they will all reside in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is the location of public domain software on topaz. The original sources are included, and are named identically to the file's name with a .ORIG added to the end. Those members of the library who have sent in Unix licensing information will receive the sources appropriate to their licensing. Sites which do not have licensing will receive the executable code and man pages for all programs that are not dependent upon the system they were compiled on. Some sites have sent in incomplete information, and will not receive a tape until the information is complete. These sites will be listed in a subesequent message. A membership form will be follow this announcement. Memberships will cost $50, and this includes the price of the first distribution tape. Subsequent distribution tapes may be acquired for the price of $25. If you are interested in meeting with other users of Pyramid computers, you are encouraged to join the Pyramid User's Group. The membership fee for the Pyramid User's Group is $150, which also includes membership in the software library. The membership form will also follow thisessage. Once again, we would like to extend the invitation to the Pyramid using public to send in any programs that have been written for Pyramids. We already have Volumes 1 through 6 of the mod.sources distribution, and the remainder of these programs not included here will be added in future distributions. As before, a form for submissions will follow this posting. The following programs are available for machines running the Berkeley Sources Distrubution version of Unix: amail - sends aonymous mail to a pre-specified address anagram - generates all possible anagrams from specified words asciibin - a pair of simple file compression programs bed - (From mod.sources V1)Editor for binary files.

We are reasonably certain that none of it is highly propritary. However, there may be some programs which the authors would prefer not to be distributed. If you know of any such cases, please tell us as soon as possible. We have not yet gotten permission to redistribute Ops5 and Icon. While we do not expect problems in getting this permission, we will not redistribute them without it. If you have any questions, please address them to trudel@rutgers.edu. -------
