With a great deal of help from Dave Elbon, Mike Walter, George Shedlock, Dave Jones and a lot of creative procrastination to avoid doing the stuff I'm *supposed* to be working on, the VM Workshop tools tape archive now contains the VM Workshop, Waterloo, and PC SIG tools tapes from 1985 up to the last physical tape produced for the 1998 VM Workshop (the last session before things went on hiatus). 1990 and 1993 are still in process, but I hope to have them up soon. I have some older tapes still to process, but haven't put a lot of priority on them as most of the code probably won't run on a modern z/VM. Tools from the 2011 and subsequent VM Workshops are posted directly on the WWW site, http://www.vmworkshop.org/tools
The archive consists of VMARC files where I was able to extract the files easily, and AWStape tape images of the tapes where I didn't have time to extract the individual files. The files are available via anonymous FTP from vmworkshop.org (userid "anonymous", use your email address as password). Transfer them in binary mode and use the usual pipe to reblock them before extracting with VMARC. Most of the files have text "read-me" files with them; the later files have HTML read-me files that describe the contents. Enjoy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
