jrw@mtune.ATT.COM (Jim Webb) (02/06/90)
All.... As people have found out, THE STORE! has closed. An end of an era and all that :-) In any case, the following packages can be released to the world, but, please, I do not want any flames telling me that HDB is not listed! What is listed here is what I have been told can be released. I open the floor for suggestions on their distribution. My 1st idea was to uuencode them and then post them to unix-pc.sources, but I am open to suggestions since this would mean posting over 20,000 blocks to netnews in one shot, and that times the number of systems out there is a pretty hefty number :-) I am open to just about anything save getting mail asking me to send them out individually to people; I wish I had the time, but I don't :-( If "someone" out there has a box with the above number of blocks free, I will be glad to help them set up a new store.... Or maybe, there is nothing of interest listed below, and all of this is moot :-) Anyway, these are the available packages: 4014EM: A 4014 Emulation for the UNIX PC! .... this port allows the use of the terminal emulator from within the UNIX PC telephone manager. It replaces the foundation set terminal emulator (async_main) with a new one which allows SLK selection of 4014 or VT100 mode. Updated 6/86 to use mouse input and other good stuff! Written by Terry Kovacs based on UNIX PC code CLEANOFFICE: Is your Office window getting too crowded? Would you like to customize your menu structure? Then this is the tool for you! With CLEANOFFICE you can create new menus, move stuff to them, have duplicate entries, and in general make your user interface what YOU want it to be! By: T. S. Greenwood COMPRESS: File compression tool - gets about 50-60% compression of text files using Lempel-Ziv encoding. The claim is that it outcompresses the standard pack(1). Comes with an uncompress and zcat tool of course .... and a full man page describing several options. Ported by John Leon CTC: This is a program designed to make the interface to CTRACE a little easier (see above) - naturally it requires that you have CTRACE and a development set to run. Created by Joe Steffan and ported by Harold Bamford CTRACE: This is a C debugging tool created to help in finding some of the more obscure types of bugs .... It reads the named C files, inserts printf() lines to report the values of variables and the line numbers, and writes the modified programs to standard output. It can then be compiled and run. The output may be massive ... but sometimes it's the only way .... naturally requires the development set. Created by Joe Steffan and ported by Harold Bamford DSH: The DOS Shell - this is a set of aliases for KORN shell users which emulate the syntax and function of MS-DOS2 commands. This could be handy to help DOS users bridge the gap to UNIX! Written by: D.B.Preston and W.M.Brelsford Ported by: Steve Coffin HACK: Similar to ROGUE but with twice as many monsters, tricks, and a little dog that follows you around. Try this one if you're all rogue'd out .... complete with some introductory documentation. (Version 1.0.3) (updated on 08/24/86) Original by Jay Fenlason, updated by Andries Brouwer Ported by Nigel Haslock and Larry Weber HFC3.0: **FOR VERSION 3.0 ONLY** - If you have a UNIX PC and an ISN, Datakit, Sytek, or Ungermann-Bass connection, you need this installable driver. It allows both terminal emulation and uucp using tty000 at RS232 speeds (up to 19.2Kb)! You can run EMACS on a remote host! A must for ISN sites like MT, FJ (soon) and HO (soon). Includes many of the tty driver fixes you've been waiting for. WARNING: most of these LANs will need to be set up specially to use EIA (RTS/CTS) flow control. Version 2.4. 10/1/86 NOT for VERSION 3.5 use only on 3.0 Not for system 85 data module connections! Contributed by: Jonathan Clark and Chun Liew HFC3.5: **FOR VERSION 3.5 ONLY** - If you have a UNIX PC and an ISN, Datakit, Sytek, or Ungermann-Bass connection, you need this installable driver.

Complete with full documentation. This version is known as Superrogue 9.0! Ported by Steve Coffin WSDB: A windowed sdb(1). If you are a user of the sdb(1) symbolic debugger then you'll want the windowed version. Provides the features of sdb(1) but allows easier debugging of full-screen or windowed applications. (updated 01/01/86) Windowized by Larry Weber ADVENTURE FINALLY! The classic on which all others are modelled is here. This is the origional Adventure game which started it all. But for those of you who already got the covetted 350 out of 350 points there is still a reason to play this version. This is the brand-spanking-new version of UNIX Adventure. The cave is almost twice as big as before, and has lots of new creatures in it. Ver: 1.0 (08/87) Contributed by: David Platt and Ken Wellsch. AMAZE: Walk a maze - FROM THE INSIDE - makes use of some of the neat graphics capabilities of the 7300 so that you can walk around INSIDE a maze rather than on top of it. Created by: Fred Hicinbothem ARC: Provides an easy interface to ar(1). Uses an english style interface instead of the one letter codes of ar. Also provides online help, and full documentation. Ver: 2.0 (3/87) Contributed by: Daniel Keys. ATC: Train for a new field! Prepare for a new career. Play this game enough and you too could become an Air Traffic Controller. The objective is to guide the incoming planes through your air space, and to the appropriate runway for landing or take off. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, it gets harder. Ver: 1.1 (3/87) Contributed by: S.Coffin. BACKGAMMON: This is the second backgammon submission to THE STORE! The display is still curses-like but this one offers on-line help. I haven't ever tried playing them against each other so for the time being both this one and VBACK will remain available. If you're a backgammon fanatic, let me know which you prefer. Submitted by: J. S. Walden BIGBEN: This tool gives you a full screen clock for the 3B1 It prints the current hours and minutes in banner(1) format and the full date in normal format on the bottom of the screen until an Enter is hit.

Beattie LOGO: Logo is a computer programming language which was designed to be both simple to use and powerful. It was designed by scientists at MIT and Bolt, Beranek, and Newman based on LISP but with far easier notation for the beginner. This version of Logo was originally coded in C at the Boston Children's Museum and extensively modified at the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional HS, hence it is known as LSRHS Logo. It has extensive command help, and nroff'able documentation. Have fun with the turtle-graphics by writing simple programs to draw stuff on your screen - excellent beginners language!

Submitted by: Bob Schreibmaier PHONESRC: Some source code to help figure out how to use the modem and dialer. This original C code is the labor of someone who spent a good deal of time trying to figure out the program- matice interface to the dialer and modem - and ended up with a rudimentary terminal emulator.

I for one have everything that was ever on THE STORE! (including HDB) that was of any use. 20,000 blocks of uuencoded binaries really doesn't have any place on the net. Net Admins that pass unix-pc.* but don't benefit from it certainly wouldn't like the added traffic. A quick calculation says it would take approximately 25 hours of connect time at 1200 baud (and lets face it, most UNIX pc's only use their OBM). I'd consider putting up a limited STORE somewhere. Where is still up for debate locally. If would venture to say that HDB would have been the most wanted. Since this is unavailable probably putting up a STORE-look-alike is useless. Also there are other places to get most of this. On the Internet for anonymous ftp, the public section of THE STORE resides on some site. [uicbert.eecs.uic.edu 128.248.166.25] Maybe if we can find out what people *want* Brant could place some of it on osu-cis' ftp'able/uucp'able UNIX pc archives. -Lenny -- | Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems lenny@icus.islp.ny.us | | {ames,pacbell,decuac,hombre,sbcs,attctc}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny | +------- ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752 -------+

Heck, I might as well suggest some work for someone else!
Since THE STORE! is really comprised of a collection of shell scripts
that queue up uucp jobs to fetch the packages you "order", there isn't
much needed to run your own version of THE STORE! You need:
1. Disk space to store it all.
2. Allow anonymous uucp.
Lo and behold, a place with plenty of these *and* a UNIXpc archive
("att7300") *and* which allows anonymous FTP is Ohio State University
("osu-cis"). (Bonus: *and* is more centrally-located in the US than
Freehold and Middletown, New Jersey :-) I don't know how either the
osu-cis administrators or the "att7300" organizer feel about this, but
it seems like a natural match to me.
All you would need to do is stash the installables in some directory
on osu-cis and then modify a copy of CATALOG+IN to know the osu-cis
particulars. From there, things would work as before. Omagosh, with
a new quasi-official THE STORE! one even imagines the possibility of
new additions (to help out UUCPhobics who have UNIXpcs).

Now that 4014EM is officially out, has anyone figured out how to
patch it to run at 19.2KB? It'd be *very* nice to run tektronic
graphics over my TB.
Also, it might be nice to collect in a single posting all the
replacements for various items listed in the store. For example,
Icon 5.7 (in the STORE) is *very* out of date. I've been running
7.5 on my unixpc for a long time now, and expect to have 8.0 up
and running when it comes out it a month. 8.0 is *much* nicer
than 7.5. I'm willing to submit it to various unix-pc archives,
if someone will tell me how. I also note that mtools, xlisp,
and other programs from the STORE are similarly out of date.
A comprehensive list would be appreciated!
