Hello,

a new version of GCG-menu for VMS/OpenVMS is now available at the
EBI-fileserver. It includes adaptions to GCG V8.1 .

What is GCG-menu?
  It's a menu driven interface for the GCG programs. Users may find the
  program they need in a more intuitive way (requires only a VT100).

How to get it?

By mail:
 Send a message to "netserv@ebi.ac.uk" containing the following
 lines in the body of the mail (leave the subject field empty).
    GET VAX_SOFTWARE:GCG-MENU.UUE
    GET VAX_SOFTWARE:UUD.C
    GET VAX_SOFTWARE:UNZIP.UUE
 The last two lines only if you don't already have access to UUD and UNZIP.
 GCG-menu will arrive in four parts. Extract each part from your mail,
 remove any mail header information and concatenate all four parts in the
 right order into a single file named GCG-MENU.UUE .

 Extract UUD.C, remove mail headers and compile & link it
    CC UUD.C
    LINK UUD,SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/LIB
 Assign a symbol for UUD and decode GCG_MENU.
    UUD :== $disk:[directory]UUD
    UUD GCG-MENU
 Now extract UNZIP in the same way and decode it. Then define a symbol for
 UNZIP and decompress GCG-MENU.ZIP (which you got by decoding GCG-MENU.UUE).
    UNZIP :== $disk1:[directory]UNZIP
    UNZIP GCG-MENU.ZIP
 The final result is a AAAREADME.TXT and GCG-MENU022.A . Install the program
 as described in the README-file.

By anonymous FTP:
 Connect to "ftp.ebi.ac.uk" and go to /pub/software/vms where you
 will find all the files mentioned above. Choose ASCII transfer for all the
 files. GCG-menu consists of a single file:
 - gcg-menu.uue
 Then decode everything in the same way as described before.

Regards
  Christoph Gartmann
