[VAX000]0README.1ST

INFORMATION REGARDING THE VAX SIG DECUS TAPES

	In order to get everything on two tapes, we've compressed the
.OLBs, removed redundant .LIS, .LST, and .MEM files (only where the
corresponding sources existed).

A description of some of the files contained in [VAX000]

	0README.1ST - This file.

	84CDMEMO.TXT - Loading and copying instructions. 

	AAAREADME.84C and AAAREADME.84D - The AAAREADME.TXT files from
                the Fall 1984 tape concatenated into one file per tape.
                The AAAREADME.yys files provide	an overview of the contents 
		of each tape.  Almost every submission has additional 
		documentation in AAAREADME.DOC or something else.  DOC, 
		.TXT, .MEM (or a .RNO which can be made into a .MEM with
		RUNOFF), or a .1ST.

	BUILDREAD.COM - A command file to build one large AAAREADME.nnn
		file from all the AAAREADME.TXT files on the directory tree.
		This command file checks file attributes and creates a uniform
		output file.

	COPYTREES.COM - An easy way to copy a VAX SIG tape (or tapes) from
		disk to tape.  COPYTREES uses TREESIZE.COM and TREETAPE.COM.
		It uses VAXyys.SIZ if it exists or creates a new one if it 
		does not.

	SUBMIT.TXT and TEMPLATE.RNO - Useful information for preparing
		a submission to a symposium tape.

	TREESIZE.COM - used by COPYTREES.COM

	TREETAPE.COM - used by TREETAPE.COM
	
	TREESIZES.LIS - A listing of the sizes of the various trees.

	VAX84FALL.DOC - A quick overview of what is in each directory.
