This tape 
.ENDIF TAPEDIST
contains Version 1.3 of DECUS uucp 
(formerly "VMSnet software"), 
a package which allows VMS systems to exchange mail and network news with other 
systems (including Unix systems, and VMS systems running this software) 
using the uucp "g" protocol.  
Geoff Huston's ANU News, Version 6.0-2, with several minor additions
(for uucp integration), is included.  
(Future versions of ANU News should work with DECUS uucp with no problems.)

Everything here has been compiled and linked under VMS#V5.2.  

Full documentation is in [UUCP.DOC]USRGD13.MEM, and in other files
described therein.  

.IF TAPEDIST
The tape contains two savesets, UUCP12B.RUN and UUCP12B.DEV .  
The former contains all executable files, command procedures, and documentation
necessary to use the package;
the latter contains source files, object files, and development tools.  
Both restore into a single directory tree, [UUCP...].  
The total space required is about 48,000 blocks.
If you have no plans to work on the software, 
you can eliminate about 30,000 
blocks of this by not restoring the development saveset.  
.ENDIF TAPEDIST
.IF SIGTAPE
Several groups of files in the [UUCP...] tree have been placed in compressed 
savesets, in order to save space on the ever-growing Symposium tapes.  
After all of these have been decompressed and restored, 
the total space required for the [UUCP...] tree is about 48,000 blocks.

If you have no plans to work on the software, 
you can eliminate about 30,000 
blocks of this by not restoring the development saveset
(which includes source files, object files, and development tools) to disk. 
Use a qualifier such as /EXCLUDE=DEVEL.BKP
on your backup command.  

The command procedure [UUCP.BIN]DECOMP__TAPE.COM will decompress the 
compressed savesets, 
restore the files from the savesets, 
and delete the savesets
(including the development saveset, if found).  
It requires COMPRESS.EXE, MODATT.CLD, MODATT.EXE, and USERCMDS.COM 
(all in [UUCP.BIN]).  
Decompressing DEVEL.BKP-Z on a MicroVAX 3600 takes about 40 minutes 
of CPU time; the others are much shorter.  
33,000 
blocks of scratch space are needed if the development saveset exists, or
10,000
blocks of scratch space without it.
