[comp.org.decus] DECUS Tapes

georg1@houtz.UUCP (G.KARAWAS) (02/14/89)

Back in the early 80's there was a RENUMBERing program
(a.k.a. RENBR) which would renumber and beautify FORTRAN
source code. It was written at the Harvard Business School
and was distributed on DECUS tapes.
Does anyone still have the source around. I would like 
to recompile it under UNIX.

I just finished cleaning up a FORTRAN-77 version of TIDY, which is probably
the parent of this program. (TIDY was written in 1966 at Kirtland AFB).
I rewrote it to run on my IBM PC, and have ported it to UNIX and also to CMS.

Distribution will be through our campus software office, and probably also
by ftp from SIMTEL20 (I'll post a note when it's on SIMTEL20).

We do not have access to anonymous ftp.  Would some kind soul please glom
the source code to UNIX TIDY and e-mail it to me via plain vanilla uucp!

There is such a thing as a free lunch:
 The first person who sends me TIDY and comes to Blue Bell gets a free lunch.

The RENBR program is on one of the DECUS tapes that has a bunch of stuff
for the DEC-10. My catalog indicates that tape 10-LIB-13 contains RENBR.
If I had it I would send it to you. Anyone out there have it?

I'm looking for general information on the DECUS tapes.  I'm mostly interested
in finding where I can get a list of what's on the tapes (and how many there
are).  Any help?

Failing that, does anyone know which tapes have the Usenet news readers for
VMS (I think its call ANU)?  Also, which tape has the Emacs extensions for the
EVE editor?

Thanx,
David Masterson
