Abstract: This submission contains the programs submitted to the VAX Systems SIG tape copy effort at the Spring 1987 DECUS U.S. Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee. The programs have been placed in two major backup sets named VAX87A and VAX87B as there is too much material for one reel at 1600BPI. Also included is an update to VAX000 which contains AAAREADME files and an index into previous VAX SIG tapes. Some material has been compressed, and the tapes contain the LZDCM program needed to decompress the compressed material. The AAAREADME files in each area note where this has been done. Each subtree has an AAAREADME.TXT file that either contains the top level documentation or tells where that documentation is. The following is a brief summary of the contents of the tape: VAX87A tape ------ ---- [.ALLIED] Cmd procs for auto file reorg, crash notif. via mail, SMG interface in BASIC (+ .OLB), system stat util.
