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 (attached) be filled out a sent into the Library. The form 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) 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.
