Hello. Now I'm looking for a PD 'tags'. There's a file CTAGS.C on SIMTEL, but it's in some bizarre binary format I don't know (certainly not a C file). Can anyone help? Thanks -- O-------------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large, cjoslyn@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, Binghamton NY 13901, USA V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .

If it is any as well done as the other product he has made (anarkey3.zoo) then this should suit you well. You can find this in Simtel or if not then from us. We got it straight from the author. Address below and directory is pc/programming. And now Merry Christmas and Better New Year (if that is possible;-) -- Harri Valkama (hv@uwasa.fi) anon. ftp site (128.214.12.3)

If you have FTP trouble please report it to Action@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. The file you are referring to is PD1:<MSDOS.C>TAGS.C and it's ASCII, stored as a 7-bit text file. The default ascii mode of FTP should retrieve it. Here are TAGs-related files, excerpted from our complete MSDOS index PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.IDX. "PD1:","<MSDOS.C>","GNUCTAGS.ARC",1,19417,8,891208, "Microsoft C 5.1 port of GNU [ce]tags" "PD1:","<MSDOS.C>","TAGS.C",3,77128,7,860712, "TAGS file system for C and Epsilon" "PD1:","<MSDOS.FREEMACS>","ETAGS.ARC",2,38154,8,890614, "Part of FreEMACS 1.5d text editor" "PD1:","<MSDOS.PGMUTL>","PCTAGS1.ARC",1,249981,8,891023, "MS-DOS & OS/2 source code retrieval system" A list of all files in the MSDOS archives is contained in directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS> as follows: SIMIBM.IDX contains a listing of all files, with a brief one line description for each file. This file is updated at approximate 1-2 week intervals (more frequently, time permitting). SIMIBM.ARC contains the latest SIMIBM.IDX, AAAREAD.ME (this file), SIMCVT.BAS, SIMCVT2.BAS, SIMCVT3.EXC, SIMIBM.DB3, SIMIBM.HDR, SIMIBM.INF, SIMDISP.AWK, SIMDISP.DOC, SIMDISP.PL and SIMCVT.FOR. SIMIBM.ARC s updated at approximate 1-2 week intervals (more frequently, time permitting). Also available: QUICKREF.LST a quick reference list to SIMTEL20 MSDOS directories. SIMCVT.BAS and SIMCVT2.BAS are BASICA/GWBASIC programs to convert SIMIBM.IDX to a human-readable text file. SIMCVT3.EXC a VM/CMS REXX program to print SIMIBM.IDX SIMCVT.FOR a VAX/VMS FORTRAN program to print SIMIBM.IDX SIMCVT.SPS a VAX/VMS SPS program to print SIMIBM.IDX SIMDISP.AWK an awk script for displaying SIMIBM.IDX in outline form. SIMDISP.DOC explains how to use SIMDISP.AWK. SIMDISP.PL a Pearl script to print SIMTEL20's SIMIBM.IDX. SIMIBM.DB3 tells how to use SIMIBM.IDX with dBASEIII. SIMIBM.HDR a PC-File+ database header for use with SIMIBM.IDX. SIMIBM.INF information on record structure of SIMIBM.IDX. SIMRAZ12.ARC a program to merge, shorten, rearrange SIMTEL indices. SIMTEL35.ARC a program which will import any SIMTEL20 comma-delimited catalog file and convert it to a .DBF and allow viewing, searching, printing reports, etc. The user does not need dBASE and all the necessary files will be created as they are needed by the program. FILDIF.ARC a program for comparing a previous copy of PD1:<MSDOS>FILES.IDX with a new copy. It displays files added and deleted since you got an older index. This is useful if you are trying to maintain an archive in sync with SIMTEL20. It can generate output scripts for batch FTP processing. PD1:<MSDOS>FILES.IDX and PD2:<MSDOS2>FILES.IDX are updated on a daily basis (sometimes several times a day when a lot of new files are uploaded). These are comma-delimited files, without descriptions, of the MSDOS and MSDOS2 directories respectively, suitable for importing into PC-File+ or DBase III. It's impossible to make a daily updated list with descriptions with the quantity of new programs available. We average about 200 new files per month. WHERE TO SEND COMPLAINTS, PROBLEMS, QUESTIONS Messages about system problems, FTP problems, and network problems should be directed to Action@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Messages about files in the MSDOS collection should be directed to w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Messages about files in the PC-BLUE collection should be directed to Wancho@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Messages about problems with BITNET or EARN file servers should be directed to the system administrator at the server location. SIMTEL20 does NOT run these servers. --Keith Petersen Maintainer of SIMTEL20's CP/M, MSDOS, & MISC archives [IP address 26.2.0.74] Internet: w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil, w8sdz@brl.arpa BITNET: w8sdz@NDSUVM1 Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!wsmr-simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for my confusion. After pounding it into your head: "Simtel is tenex! Simtel is tenex!" over and over again it's hard to remember to set it back. . . -- O-------------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large, cjoslyn@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, Binghamton NY 13901, USA V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .
