Fall 1993 DECUS Tapes available from wuarchive.wustl.edu
Chris Myers
in Saint Louis are proud to announce the availability of the recently
released Fall 1993 DECUS VMS SIG and Languages and Tools SIG tapes
for access over the Internet. A great deal of work has been put into
making this collection, and both DECUS and Washington University would
like to thank the many people who spent the thousands of hours
necessary to make it possible.
The VMS and L&T SIG tapes are available for anonymous FTP from
wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4]. All of the various parts of this
tape are stored in the directory "/decus/vms93b" and "/decus/lt93b".
Please retrieve the file "COPYING" first since it contains important
information you will need to copy the BACKUP savesets. Please note
that wuarchive.wustl.edu is a dedicated archive system and may be used
without restriction 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Washington University regrets that under no circumstances can it
provide copies of the DECUS Symposia on any form of media, nor can it
honor requests for individual files from the Symposia tapes.
Questions about the Washington University archives (only) should be
e-mailed to arch...@wugate.wustl.edu.
