Comp.sources.atari.st: Volume 0, Info 1
Archive-name: welcome
Welcome to comp.sys.atari.st! This newsgroup is for the posting of
sources and documentation for the Atari ST line of computers. To
submit sources, binaries and/or documentation, send them to:
{sun,decwrl,ucbvax}!imagen!atari-sources
If you are submitting sources, please specify the compiler/assembler under
which it was compiled; for both sources and binaries please specify what
resolution(s) in which the program will run and some documentation as to
what the program does and how to use it.
Sources will be posted with a subject line of the following format:
Subject: Vxxannnn typ:res:form short description
Where:
xx - is a 2 digit volume number
annnn - is a letter followed by 4 digits which will uniquely
identify the posting for online retrival
typ - the type of compiler/assembler used to compile the program:
doc - documentation only, no sources
mwc - Marc Williams C
mmc - Megamax C
drc - DRI (alcyon) C
tdi - TDI Modula-2
bas - Atari basic
ltc - Lattice C
dra - DRI (Alcyon) assembler
pps - Personal Pascal
res - resolution(s) under which this will run:
b&w - high resolution only
med - medium resolution color only
low - low resolution color only
col - both med and low
all - all resolutions
form - one or more of the following seperated by semi-colons ';'
these fields describe the order of programs that must
be used to 'unpack' the posting:
asc - ascii file, no unpacking necessary
uue - use Dumas's uudecode (or Un*x uudecode)
arc - use arc
shr - use shar
For Example the subject line:
V01a0001 mwc:col:uue;arc desk acc to change screen color
would be a C program compilable under Marc Williams C which runs in all
color resolutions; to 'unpack' it, the user would first use uudecode to
generate an arc file, then use arc to extract the program, rsc files,
documentation etc.
The idea behind the rather complex subject line is 2 fold; first you can
see at a glance if the posting is usable on your system and second with
a little work you can write a program which parses the subject line and
unpacks the posting automatically.
All programs posted will be compiled and tested before they are posted.
There will be a facility for retrival of postings via email analogous to
the BITNET online retrival system, more on that as soon as I get it working.
I'm sure that I've left out some compiler types or haven't covered everything,
so feel free to send me email.
I think i've gone on long enough, send me some programs !!!
