I am posting this for the DECUS Library, please send all inquiries to the
address indicated.
The DECUS Library can now accept some submissions electronically. The
following are the guidelines for submitting material to the DECUS Library
via electronic means.
Guidelines for Electronic submission to the DECUS Library.
1. Items can be submitted to the DECUS Library electronically. The only
current electronic method is via Electronic Mail. Mail can be Internet or
from the DECUServe system via DECnet. The addresses are
decuslibrary@decus.org from the Internet or TOPAZ::DECUSLIBRARY from the
DECUServe system.
2. Submissions need to be smaller than 2000 VAX disk blocks (1 MB) in size in
order to be submitted electronically. Anything larger than that must be
submitted using a magnetic media.
3. Submissions still require that a signed Library Submission form be
filled out a sent into the Library. The form, which is attached, can
either be sent through normal Mail (US Mail) or FAXed to (508) 841-3357.
A submission will not be processed if a Library Submission form is not
received. When you send in the electronic submission of the software, you
will need to indicate whether you are sending the submission form in
through the Postal service or FAX. The Postal address for the submission
form is:
DECUS Library
333 South St, SHR1-4 /D33
Shrewsbury, MA 01545-4195
4. Submissions can be of any type the Library currently accepts. They can be
DOS, Macintosh, RSX, RT, IAS, VMS, TOPS, Ultrix, etc. Since electronic mail
is an ascii only system, you will most likely have to encode the submission to
send it through E-Mail. The following are supported ways of encoding the
submission:
UUENCODEd files
MFTU Encoded files
VMS_Share submissions
Unix SHARE submissions
The Library can also handle the following formats which can be used to
compress the file for mailing:
LZW Compress or GNU Compress Files (including BACKUP Savesets)
UNIX Compress
VMS Compressed Libraries
ZIP Archives
ARC Archives
ZOO Archives
LHARC Archives
5. In many cases the Library will be able to accept a source code submission
and generate the objects and executable images. Some times it may be required
to have the full submission, including the objects and executable as part of
the submission. If you only want to submit the source, please insure that a
good command procedure or make file or other script is supplied to rebuild the
program(s). It is encouraged to have you check about submitting source only
before doing such. Such message should be sent to decuslibrary@decus.org.
6. Extremely small submissions may be collected to be put into a larger
submission. Such items would be command procedures and small utility
programs of like types (system manager utilities). Full credit will be given
to each submittor for their submission.
7. Any questions on this procedure can be sent to the DECUSLIBRARY e-mail
address.
If the software is being submitted electronically, please note ELECTRONIC
under Media Type and the date it was sent.
