RSX/IAS SIG Tape Distribution - Spring 1984
                   ===========================================


          This is the RSX/IAS SIG Symposium Tape from the 1984 Spring DECUS
     Symposium Cincinnati.  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:RX84A1)  as  an  RK07 image (of 53,500 blocks), and the 2nd
     (/BAC:RX84A2) as an RL02 image containing the new LBL Tools toys, much
     PRO  350  software, and several other items in a total of about 14,100
     blocks.  

          Directory  [300,1] contains the files documenting the contents of
     the tape.  The following files are present:  
     RSX84ATPE.DOC contains an abstract of the contents of the tape by UIC. 
     84AREADME.ALL  contains a concatenated list of all the README files on
        the tape.  
     RSX84A.DIR contains a directory of all the files on the tape (BRU does
        not produce nice directories).  This is a brief listing  with  UICs
        and filenames only for space reasons.  
     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.  
     BEGIN84A.DOC has a copy of this text.  
     UICSET84A.CMD contains the UFD commands to create all the needed UIC's
        on a device whose name is asked for in the command file.   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.
