This is the VMS version of MetaFont, a font building utility that
is part of TeX.

========> [LT91A.GNUSOFTWARE]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <========


This area contains software from the Free Software Foundation which
has been released since the Fall 1990 VAX/L&T collection. Included
are Gnu C for VMS, a new G++ (C++ compiler), the OLEO spreadsheet,
latest CVS (Concurrent Versioning System, works with RCS (Rev Control
System) to support very large project control...like CMS on VMS but
much more so...), latest FLEX, much more.
========> [LT91A.MODULA3]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <========


This is the Modula 3 compiler for Unix obtained from gatekeeper.dec.com
since the last tapes.
========> [LT91A.NCSA]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <========


This is the latest update to NCSA Telnet, which allows Mac or PC
computers connected to an ethernet to communicate via TCP/IP
with other TCP/IP systems. Both terminal emulation and file transfer
are supported. Latest PC and Mac versions are here.
========> [LT91A.PC]AAAREADME.TXT;2 <========


This directory tree contains images of the DECUS PC SIG's disk
collection. The Mac disks are in the proper format to be used
directly as a Pathworks (aka LANworks aka PCSA/mac) disk. The
.SIT files among them (most of them are .SIT) need only to have
the creator and resource names changed to SIT! by a Mac resource
editor to use them after transfer. The PC files are just archives
and should present no problems.
   PLEASE NOTE: These files are as we found them, and given the
widespread viral infections of PC software, users should take
precautions to ensure that no viruses are obtained from THIS
software. The pc antivirals in the [.antivirus...] tree on this
set of symposium tapes are from well-known sources and should
be used to guard your PC or Mac. The latest versions of Gatekeeper
and Disinfectant for the Mac (from clean sources) were placed
in the mac area in this tree also, as the ones that had been
there were out of date. Files have NOT been checked, however,
and infection may occur if you don't take precautions. YOU have
been warned!
========> [LT91A.UNIXTOOLS]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <========


There are a number of Unix tools in this directory, including the
latest version of the security tool COPS which will help you ensure
your unix system (any flavor) is reasonably free of security holes.
========> [LT91A.UUNET]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <========


This area contains some of the more interesting unix and X 
archives from uunet.uu.net, plus an internet directory which while
old is still useful. Material from comp.sources.X, comp.sources.unix,
comp.sources.sun, and comp.sources.misc is included in subdirectories,
and indices to past comp.* groups are present also for some of the
groups. These are handy for helping you find out if something exists
on an archive, even if you may not have direct access to it.
