Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.hp/HP-UX-Porting-And-Archiving-Centre-Announcement

This posting is to announce the opening of:

                The HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre
                                at
                  The University of Liverpool, UK

The Centre is a joint initiative by the Department of Computer Science at
the University and Hewlett-Packard. All software archived at the centre has
been successfully compiled and tested for the HP 700 series; much of it
will also run under the 300/400 series. The centre welcomes contributions of
public domain software ported elsewhere.

The packages are available as compressed tar archives (.tar.Z files) from the
following anonymous FTP Archive site:

                              ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk

(Connect using the user "anonymous" and your e-mail address as the password)

There are currently in excess of 150 packages installed and new packages
are being added daily.

You are recommended to obtain the following files first:

/README                    - Explains the overall aims and structure.
/Conventions               - Archiving conventions used: VITAL TO READ !
/hpux/X11/Xaw-4.00.tar.Z   - R4 Athena Widgets include files (not supplied
                             with HP-UX 8.0 and needed for many R4 packages).
/hpux/X11/imake-4.00.tar.Z - An HP 700-targeted imake source distribution:
                             only site-specific paths need to be edited. Used
                             to translate Imakefiles to Makefiles.

A catalogue of the archive is available in either troff or plain text
format. These catalogues contains a short description of each package and
are available from the directories /TroffDoc and /TextDoc.

We are interested in getting feedback from users and this should be sent
by e-mail to:
                              ftp@csc.liv.ac.uk

ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk will shortly be registered with various archie servers to
further aid access (we have the source to archie, xarchie and xftp on the
Archive for those who want easier front-ends to anonymous FTP).
