Subj:	New CVTLIS (again---ooops)

I just fixed CVTLIS.  Duh.  I broke the MACRO-32 part and didn't
realize it until now.  I fixed that.  And to make it worth the hassle
of having to get it again 8-), I've added support for SDL files too.

The original announcement follows below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVTLIS is a program I wrote a few years ago that converts source
listings into their original source files.  It was written
specifically to make the listings on the VMS Source Listings CDs more
readable.  (Any other use is certainly unintended.)  It's not perfect,
but it does a good job of trimming the files down and they're a *lot*
easier to read afterward.

I've just finished V2.1 of CVTLIS.  The old version only handled
MACRO, BLISS, and C files.  The new version recognizes the following
file types for both OpenVMS VAX *and* OpenVMS AXP:

        Language        CPU             Output file type
        ---------       ---             ----------------
        MACRO-32        VAX             .MAR
        AMACRO-32       AXP             .MAR
        BLISS-32        VAX             .B32
        BLISS-32E       AXP             .B32E
        BLISS-64        AXP             .B64
        MACRO-64        AXP             .M64
        VAX C           VAX             .C
        DEC C           AXP             .C
        MESSAGE         VAX/AXP         .MSG

That covers most of the files on the VMS Source Listings CD.  Testing
has been reasonably thorough and I've seen no problems.

This version will also run under both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP (and
boy is it fast on AXP!).

You can get the new CVTLIS via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu; you'll
need:

        [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE
        [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]CVTLIS.ZIP

You can get it via e-mail by sending the following commands in the
body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:
