woohoo, stuff from my old vax tape!

Okay, if anyone's interested, I got the data from my old tape back from Tim. Among other things, there are some interesting pieces of software, all of them about 10 years old, which some of you may be interested. If anyone is interested, please send me personal e-mail and I'll include the file you want, plus the appropriate archive/dearchive software. And btw, yes the descriptions are the ones that were on the BBS to describe each piece of software, so they do tend to be talking to beginners. I have for the pc: *******PC-VT******* This file is an archived vt100 full emulation system. It includes a terminal mode, xmodem and kermit uploads/downloads a help screen, and a readme file. You will need a blank 5 1/4 inch floppy (or about 360k free on a 3 1/2) and the PKXARC program found elsewhere on this board to dearc this program successfully. This program courtesy of Concordia Computer Services, along with the author or authors who chose to make it public domain. To start PC-VT, type PC-VT at the A> prompt. procomm 2.4.2 This program is another (and vastly superior) terminal emulator. It is window driven, supports most major upload/download protocals and has color. It also works more reliably for uploads and downloads than PC-VT. There is, of course, also full vt100 terminal emulation.This particular version is configured to run at 9600baud with all settings proper for this VAX system. Reconfiguration is done from the menus. ***********PKARC*********** This program is a public domain archiver. It crunches other programs with multiple modules into a single arc file, which is then simple to upload or download. It will be the standard arc protocal used on the IBM board of this BBS, so when you upload somthing, please pass it through this program first. This program itself is not archived, nor is it's companion de-arcing program, PKXARC, so that you will be able to de-arc the programs you receive. This program contains a help screen. *********PKXARC******** This program is the companion program to PKARC. It is unarchived, but you will need it to de-arc most of the files on the IBM board. It includes a help screen, and should be self explanitory. for the commodore 64: arc250 This program is a self-documented archiving and dearchiving program for the Commodore 64. It is slow, but it does work. vt100 This program is a self-contained vt100 emulator for the c=64. It uses the commodore key with the function and number keys to make symbols not on the 64 keyboard. Works only with TPU editor. (the one we use for the BBS) Origionally downloaded from Q-Link tm. macread This program is unarchived and allows the user to view .mac picture files on the c-64. for the commodore 128: vt-100v2a A real slick vt100 em for the c=128. Uses fast and burst modes. U/dloads. Supports EDT. This is a self dearcing file, load and run. Docs Follow. vt-100v2adocs These are the docs that go with vt-100v2a. This is a C=128 self dearcing file. -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Meadocrat!
