Archive-name: sys/unix-pc/att7300/1991-05-07 Archive-directory: cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/att7300/ [128.146.8.62] Original-posting-by: dave@galaxia.Newport.RI.US (David H. Brierley) Original-subject: att7300/README file on osu-cis has been updated Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) I just finished updating the att7300/README file on osu-cis to reflect the file reorganization. As a convenience, I am now supplying the README file in two forms. The traditional README file contains a list of all the files in the archive and a brief description of each file. The new file is called README.quick and it simply contains a list of all the files with no descriptions. This file could be retrieved on a periodic basis and compared with the previous version to quickly find out what is new or changed. The traditional README file is available both compressed and uncompressed, the new file is only available in compressed form. As I was creating the new README I noticed several things. First, not all of my choices for what directory to put things in made sense upon being reviewed. This will be corrected over the next few weeks. If you notice any files that you think belong in different directories than the one I put them in please let me know because I might not have noticed them. Second, many of the programs could use better descriptions. Lenny did a fantastic job with creating the original README file (or perhaps whoever Lenny got it from) but writing descriptions for over 300 programs is a tedious task and after a while the descriptions get a little terse. What I would like is to get a few volunteers who would scan through the list and pick a dozen or so programs and write up better descriptions for them. If you would be willing to help out in this effort please let me know via e-mail. The third thing that I noticed is that a fair number of the programs are out of date. Many of the programs I have updated versions of already and I will be replacing the old programs over the next month or so, but I don't have copies of everything. If you notice something in the list that is out of date, and you either have or know of a site where it can be retrieved via uucp or ftp (preferrably ftp), please let me know. -- David H.
