From: Todd Aven <decwrl!decvax!seismo!maryland.ARPA!eneevax!umdhep@BERKELEY> I posted a note a few weeks ago about some software I had written and/or fixed. Unfortunately, I think that half of the news got put in a bit bucket, and I don't really know which half, so let me update the list and provide information about how to get this ?wonderful? software: cpg.c - written by someone else (csdsicher@sunyabva?) I have fixed this program to compile on VMS4.x with the C2.0 compiler. It makes a pretty listing of a C source file with page breaks whenever it discovers a new function definition. vmsmailfix - a set of VMS FORTRAN4.2 programs I have written to conquer the bugs in VMS Mail associated with the number of new mail messages for a user. It works a whole lot better than READ/NEW n times (n --> oo). I advertised a version of FINGER which worked on VMS4.x only to discover that Richard Garland *had* been busily at work on it all the time. So I have sent my patches to him, and he now has a *better* working version. He will continue to be the distribution point to maintain some semblance of sanity and control over development of the program. There should be a sort of a release soon when it is all cleaned up, so stay tuned batkids! If you want the other stuff mentioned, or would like to trade other software (we *all* have plenty) send me mail at MANAGER@UMDHEP.BITNET unless there is absolutely no way for you to get to a bitnet gateway, in which case I can probably be reached here UMDHEP@ENEEVAX.ARPA (god only knows what routing to use!) or AVEN@UMCINCOM.ARPA (ditto). Have I forgotten anything? Oh yeah! --> Thanks mom! ============================================================ |Todd Aven MANAGER@UMDHEP.BITNET | |Softwear Sweatshop AVEN@UMCINCOM (arpanet, bitnet)| |High Energy Physics UMDHEP@ENEEVAX.UUCP | |University of Maryland | |College Park, MD 20742 (301)454-3508 | ============================================================
