From: sasaki@harvard.ARPA (Marty Sasaki) I've had overwhelming response to my reply about TAR running on VMS. To avoid too much more correspondence... If you want a copy, send me a copy of your 4.2 BSD license, and a tape or floppy (return postage would be nice). I will return your tape or floppy with a copy of TAR and what documentation that we have. If you have a source license, I will include the source.

Please hold off on sending me your tapes and floppies unless
you have a source license and the VMS C compiler.
I just remembered that the run time library for VAX-11 C is
not part of the standard RTL. This means that you need a license
for the RTL, and I can't ship the .exe unless I know you have
it.
I'll be getting in touch with my sales rep to see if something
can be done.

From: decvax!mcnc!rti-sel!rcb@BERKELEY The run time code for vax-11c is not in the RTL. It is in crtlib.olb and is linked in the .exe when you link. You can therefore send the .exe file and it will run. Randy Buckland Research Triangle Institute ...!mcnc!rti-sel!rcb

A correction...
Yes, the C Run-Time Library routines are in a file called CRTLIB.OLB
in SYS$LIBRARY. However, they will not automatically get linked in when one
links. One has use one of two methods to link it in:
(1) Tell it to link them in on the LINK command line:
$ LINK your_program,SYS$LIBRARY:CRTLIB/LIBRARY
(2) Define a logical name so that you don't have to do (1):
$ DEFINE LNK$LIBRARY SYS$LIBRARY:CRTLIB.OLB
Most people who usually program in C opt for (2), putting the
definition in their LOGIN.COM or similar file. I assume that the author
of the previous article does it this way, since he or she (I forgot to look)
wrote that it would be done automatically.

To those who have sent me tapes so far: let me apologize for not sending
them out. I'm off to Anaheim for the DECUS Symposium, and then a few
weeks of vacation. I will send all the tapes out before the end of the
first week in January.
To all others who are interested: send me a copy of your Berkeley 4.2
BSD license and a tape (1200 foot or larger) with return postage and I
will send you a copy of the source, executables, and all the
documentation that we have (which, unfortunately, isn't all that much)
for TAR and MAKE, and a program which creates makefiles. A copy of your
32V, SIII, or SV license will make things much easier, but I can call
AT&T to verify.
A C runtime license is no longer necessary to receive executables.
The reason for the delay in sending things out was due largely to my
mis-managing my time and not really being ready for DECUS. A
contributing factor is the necessity to include proper copyright notices
in the source and documentation.
