THERE IS A SMALL PROBLEM WITH THE ARCHIVE DISKS AS DISTRIBUTED AT
THE EXPO. Due to an oversite on my part (bad KJohn :-) the programs required
to extract the archive files are on all of the archive disks. To correct
this try the following on a BACKUP COPY OF YOUR ARCHIVE DISKS:
1) To UNCOMPRESS the archives, use the UNCOMPRESS program found in volume 1
of the Sources in the UTILS directory.
2) UNCOMPRESS UNSHAR.C.Z found on Source volume 1 and compile it.
3) UNCOMPRESS UUTWINS.SRC.SH.Z found on SOURCE volume 2.
4) UNSHAR the UUTWINS.SRC.SH file.
5) Compile UUDECODE.C.
6) Now you should have the following programs:
a) UNCOMPRESS
b) UNSHAR
c) UUDECODE
These are the same as their UNIX counterparts. Use them to uncompress,
unshar, and uudecode (where applicable) the other Archive disks.
Sorry if this has caused anyone any problems. If you know someone who got
a copy of the archives, please pass this info onto them.
If you cannot do any of the above (due to a lack of a compiler or whatever)
call me and we'll work something out......

To >correct this try the following on a BACKUP COPY OF YOUR ARCHIVE DISKS: This also my fault too since I didn't get a chance to copy all these programs to the archive disks before I sent them off... a few things to note though: For those of you with the binaries archives, there are compiled versions of these programs on some of the disks.. they should all be fine to use except for uncompress. When we posted uncompress, we only posted a version that did 13-bit uncompress and the files are 15-bit compresssed. So, I will make the 15-bit version of uncompress available in the startup volume in the archives when I get home tonight -- I'll call it something like "uncompress.15bit". >If you cannot do any of the above (due to a lack of a compiler or whatever) >call me and we'll work something out......
