RSX/IAS SIG Tape Distribution - Spring 1983
                   ===========================================


          This is the RSX/IAS SIG Symposium Tape from the 1983 Spring DECUS
     Symposium in St. Louis.  The tape contains material submitted  by  the
     user community for the tape at that meeting.  

          The  programs  on this tape are from user submissions.  The DECUS
     staff, the RSX & IAS SIG staffs, and DEC are all in complete ignorance
     of  the  contents of the tapes.  No warranty of any kind is implied in
     the distribution of these tapes.  The programs may or may not be  well
     documented, they may or may not work, they may even crash your system.
     If you have a problem with the  contents  of  the  tape,  contact  the
     author  of  the program.  Do not contact DECUS, DEC, or the RSX or IAS
     SIG's.  

          The tape contains over 2000 files requiring 60,000 blocks of disk
     space.  Since this will fit on a single 2400 foot tape only in BRU  at
     1600  bpi, it is being distributed as such.  Because it is larger than
     an RK07 disk, it has been split into 2 BRU container files,  with  the
     1st  (/BAC:RSX83A)  as  an  RK07 image (of 38,000 blocks), and the 2nd
     (/BAC:PRNTRPICS) as a  2nd  RK07  image  containing  a  collection  of
     printer pictures (22,000 blocks).  

          Directory  [300,1] contains the files documenting the contents of
     the tape.  The following files are present:  
     RSX83ATPE.DOC contains an abstract of the contents of the tape by UIC. 
     83AREADME.ALL  contains a concatenated list of all the README files on
        the tape.  
     RSX83A.DIR contains a directory of all the files on the tape (BRU does
        not produce nice directories).  
     SUBMIT.DOC contains guidelines for submissions to the RSX/IAS Sig Tape
        collection.  This is MUST  reading  for  everyone  who  desires  to
        submit a program to the SIG tape.  
     BEGIN83A.DOC has a copy of this text.  
     UICSET83A.CMD contains the UFD commands to create all the needed UIC's
        on device XX:.  Edit it to match your needs  before  using  BRU  to
        extract the tape contents.  A word of caution:  under at least some
        circumstances, 11M V4.0 BRU's /UFD switch creates directories  even
        when it doesn't put anything in them.
