DECWRL publishes a series of Research Reports that are available via an automatic service; it's not anonymous FTP, but on the other hand it is usable by people not at Internet sites. Users can get help by sending a message to "wrl-techreports@decwrl.dec.com", with the word "help" on the Subject: line. -Jeff Here is the index of reports currently available from this server: ***TECHNICAL REPORTS*** Key Author(s) Title ======================================================================= Prospectus.87 WRL Prospectus 87-88 86/1 Nielsen Titan System Manual 86/3 Wall Global Register Allocation at Link Time 86/4 Hamburgen Optimal Finned Heat Sinks 87/1 Wall/Powell The Mahler Experience: Using an Intermediate Language as the Machine Description 87/2 Mogul et al.

TN-12 Bartlett Mostly-Copying Garbage Collection Picks Up Generations and C++ Technical notes are for rapid distribution of technical material. Usually this represents work in progress. Our technical reports may include large portions of prior technical notes. To see the abstract for any report or note, send the server a message saying "send abstract 86/4" or "send abstracts 87/3 TN-7", etc. Capitalization does not matter. Not all of the above reports and notes are available in Postscript form. To find out which ones are available, send the server a message saying "send index postscript".
