The directory listing of the Aston archive is \Huge. It is also
essential for anyone retrieving files. Would it be possible, Peter,
to provide an ARCed version of it as well as the full length thing. Or
better still a ZIPped version? Even a Unix style COMPRESSed one.
ANYTHING, but small!
This presupposes that the problems we are all having with FTPing
binaries from Aston get solved (as you say they will). It also
presupposes that you have an archive/compress tool of some species
on the Aston system, and can fit it into your automated updating system.
Dominik
+++Editor - As you know I dislike announcing new facilities before they are
ready for general use but this problem is in the process of being fixed. A
group who are looking after the archive have devised a method of coping
with the FTP problems and binary files. As soon as it is available I will
arrange for arc/compress versions of the larger files of interest to be
created. We do however wish to ensure that if they are packed up then they
can be unpacked successfully on a variety of systems. +++

[This note was originally intended to be some information which I was
sending to Peter Abbott to forward to whoever would be making a CMS
version of the Aston Archive, but I've decided to send it to the
TeXhax and UKTeX mailing lists since it contains some generally useful
information on organinzing TeX on CMS]
There are a couple things to be aware of in transferring files from
the VMS environment to CMS which could cause some problems: the first
and most important is that CMS has a flat file structure, i.e., no
subdirectories. The implications of this are that for on-line storage,
everything needs to be in a limited number of minidisks with as few
duplications of names as possible... also all redundancies should be
removed (e.g., multiple copies of TEX WEB etc.) On our system, we have
a minidisk with TeX and its related files, another with MF, and a third
for unsupported extras (e.g., a chess font and miscellaneous macros from
TeXMaG, TeXhax, and the like). Each font set (e.g., 300dpi ww, 300dpi wb,
1270dpi etc.) has its own minidisk as does each device driver... Device
drivers are then called using a front-end exec resident on the disk with
TeX. To use TeX, all that is _necessary_ is to link to the TeX disk (MF
requires linking to that disk and the TeX disk, but only for access to
device drivers and TFM's for GFtoDVI). Most users also link to the disk
with the unsupported macros because of all the neat stuff there.
For the archive tape, I would recommend using CMS TAPE (simply because its
fairly straightforward and has help, unlike VMFPLC2 (what's the point of that
program anyway?) a tape mark should be placed between each group of related
files, in the case of the Aston archive, this would generally correspond to
divisions into subdirectories.
I hope this information is useful to any and all who receive it.

Subject: Tapes for VM/CMS
I have VM/CMS at Reading and I would be happy to help with writing tapes.
May I just comment, though, that this conversion is usually unnecessary;
I have a program ASCITAPE that reads an ascii tape written with fixed-
length records (any length) with a whole number of records per block and
I find this a convenient way of transferring data from non-IBM sites.
Perhaps your querent could provide some background?

Subject: re: \newdimen
X-VMS-To: IN%"info-tex%aston.ac.uk@NSS.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK"
In a recent UKTeX, Sebastian Rahtz asks how to "cancel" \newdimen's so that
he can simultaneously load two large macro packages.
There is no simple answer to the question, since it depends on (a) how the
two packages use the dimension registers and (b) how you intend to use the
two packages. Typical packages allocate only a small number of temporary
dimension registers; all the rest are used as "named constants" or contain
various global parameters. You generally must leave such registers alone if
you expect to call the package.
If you know that you'll only call either one package or the other, or if you
switch back and forth but are willing to re-initialize each time, you could
cobble something together. \newdimen is not a TeX primitive - it is a macro
defined in Plain (and used unchanged in LaTeX). A quick check of the
definition - see page 346 of the TeXbook - reveals that the next dimension
register to be allocated is 1+\count11. So if you are willing to go through
the two macro packages and separate out all the initialization, you could
cobble together an "initialize package" macro which reset \count11 to some
known value, then set up the package. Of course, you'd have to be careful
about any external calls to \newdimen - the register allocation mechanism
is unable to handle interleaved allocated and unallocated registers.
In the case of every large package I've ever seen, with the possible exception
of PiCTeX, doing this kind of thing is likely to be quite difficult, since
the allocation and initialization of various registers is scattered through
the code.
If you are in a position to make extensive changes to the package, or if you
are designing it, you may find the following macros, posted to TeXhax a
couple of months back, useful. They allow you to allocate objects which are
local to the containing group.

Below is the information that you requested. Another non-listed source
(I'm going to fix that this week) is Jon Radel, who is
mentioned as a source for the Beebe drivers on PC floppies... he has
a wide variety of PC stuff available for duplicating costs. He has a
few PC TeX drivers available from no other source. I'll send his address
Monday or Tuesday, since I lent out the information sheet with it
and I don't have another copy handy.

Mailer: Janet_Mailshr V3.2 (27-Oct-1988)
Some weeks ago, I asked TeXhax and UKTeX readers for a version of BibTeX v0.99
that would run on an IBM PC under MS/PC-DOS. After being deafened by the
silence, I decided to try to translate the Unix WEB into Turbo C.
Originally, I tried to use the excellent WEB2C system, but the IBM PC C
compilers (Microsoft and Turbo) can't cope with all of the static/global data
that BibTeX uses. Using the output of WEB2C as a starting point, after a great
deal of change, I ended up with a working version of BibTeX v0.99c.
The IBM PC version of BibTeX isn't as capable as the Unix version since that
version declares well over 640kBytes of array variables, but it can cope with
350 citations and 2000 database entry fields. A 512kB IBM PC without lots of
memory resident software can just about run it, while a 640kB machine copes
comfortably.
Would anyone be prepared to help me by acting as a "Beta test site" for this
software - I would like to have it tested first by a few people before
offering it to the world.
