The updated 630_pkg is now available in the AT&T Toolchest. Below is
the upgrade description. In particular I've added 32ld and the binary
to download into 5620 1.1 ROMS to make it behave like 2.0 ROMS.
The package costs $100, and I think upgrades are free. Many of the
other programs in the package work on 5620s even though it's called
630_pkg.
The Toolchest can be called by modem at 1-908-522-6900, login "guest".
I have also submitted a '5620dev' package which includes the software
generation system but it hasn't appeared yet. This will also be $100.
This also includes 32ld and the 5620 1.1->2.0 binary download, so you
may want to wait for this instead of getting the 630_pkg.
Both of these packages are quite large so if your modem isn't 9600
baud expect to have long phone calls.

They are no longer available that way. The core package binaries
(layers) are standard on AT&T's SVR3 and SVR4.1.
> BSD layers support is available from UCSD, also at one time at least from
> AT&T Teletype (NCR?).
The latest version of BSD layers is now available via anonymous ftp
at research.att.com:dist/dmd/dmdlayers.tar.Z. Both the '5620dev' and
and '630_pkg' packages will work with BSD layers at least on Suns.

630_pkg - 5620 DMD and 630/730 MTG Package
<> The 630 MTG Toolchest package contains 18 popular application programs
for AT&T Dot-Mapped Display terminals (630/730 MTG and 5620 DMD).
<> Changes in this release (8/13/92):
Most of the programs will now also compile on Suns for use with the pseudo-tty
based version of layers for Suns.
32ld, the 5620 DMD application downloader, has been added. This package
includes 32reloc and 32version and the lsys.8;7;3 download binary
for downloading the 5620 2.0 firmware features into 1.1 firmware.
xcip, a graphics drawing program with output in pic format, has been updated
to the latest version. Source is also provided to compile
this to run under X in addition to 5620s and 630s.
xdmdld, the 630/730 MTG application downloader, has been updated to the latest
version. Works in both standalone mode and under layers,
and has improved performance when the connection to a 730 is
over a LAN connection. Also recognizes download binaries that
have been converted with mc68conv to eliminate the need to use
xzap630.
xjx, the standard I/O interpreter for the 5620 DMD and the 630/730 MTG, has
been updated to the latest version
xproof, a troff output simulator for the 5620 DMD and the 630/730 MTG
that reads troff output from a file or pipe and displays a
simulation of the resulting images on the screen, has been
updated to the latest version.
xzap630, a program for use with mc68conv for byte-order conversion
of terminal object modules for non-AT&T computers, has been
rewritten for portability.
