[comp.unix] ftp access to bibliofile

ehkinmonth@ucdavis.edu (Earl H. Kinmonth) (08/01/89)

Bibliofile is a set of programs to manage one or more flat files in a
pseudo filing card format. Bibliofile has no arbitrary limit on field
size or the number of fields per logical record. Bibliofile programs
operate on pure ascii text and use commands that are nearly identical
with **IX programs that operate only on lines. Bibliofile currently
runs on machines ranging from XT-clones to muscular Vaxen and Suns.

Bibliofile is now available on an experimental basis from ccb.ucsf.edu
[ 128.21.8.1.13 ]. Login as anonymous, password guest. cd to
Pub/Bibliophile. Download the files you find there (assume they are
binary and use appropriate ftp settings).

Currently there is one (1) file in place, bibliofile.tar.Z. This
includes souces, documents, shell scripts, and miscellaneous items for
Bibliofile. The file was made with pdtar and compress -b 16. This file
should be acceptable to any version of **IX tar and any recent version
of compress for **IX. It is currently about 1.4 megs.

Source code as presented can be made to compile under SUN or Vax 4.3
BSD, 2.9 BSD, SCO Xenix 286, or MSDOS (Turboc C 2.0).

Anyone who would bring up Bibliofile should obtain printed or printable
copies of the fundamental documentation from me at one of the addresses
below. (All documentation is in the archive but pretty printing
requires kroff, the Bibliofile version of nroff, which you won't have
until you bring the system up).

You are welcome to copy and redistribute Bibliofile in any of its forms
provided

(a) you do not charge for doing so;

(b) you do not use it in a classified military environment.

As a courtesy to the author, you should also

(a) acknowledge any project where Bibliofile proves useful;

(b) send careful bug and correction reports.

Even under the best of circumstances, I can only offer support equal to
the cost. In as much as I am preparing to move to England (Centre for
Japanese Studies, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, England, UK), I
am especially short on time. Nevertheless, I am willing to answer
questions subject to totally arbitary and rude termination on my
part....

If you have questions direct them to one of the addresses below. The
r/R commands of the newsreader will NOT send your question to the
proper address.

Is there any way you could post this to alt.sources or submit it to 
unix.sources for those of us who don't have the privledge of ftping
files?

It's on van-bc in

	~/kin/biblio.tar

It's 1197255 bytes long.

Bibliofile is a constantly evolving system of programs. For this reason
I prefer not to post a version and say "this is it," take it or leave
it until the next revision comes out.

If you are ~really~ serious about acquiring the programme(s), send me
floppies (1.2 megs): three for sources, three for executables (any
version).  I'll pay return postage.

I can also package the system and set it up so it can be taken from
my personal **IX system.  Send e-mail to one of the addresses in the
signature (do NOT use the r/R commands of the newsreader).

Because I am moving to England in early September, I do not have time
to diddle with bouncing mail.  Try to get it right the first time.
