Hello,
a minor update of GCG-menu for VMS/OpenVMS is now available at the
EMBL-fileserver. The reason for the update is mainly to include support for
OpenVMS/AXP.
What is GCG-menu?
It's a menu driven interface for the GCG programs. Users may find the
program they need in a more intuitive way (requires only a VT100).
How to get it?
By mail:
Send a message to "netserv at embl-heidelberg.de" containing the following
lines in the body of the mail (leave the subject field empty).
GET VAX_SOFTWARE:GCG_MENU.UAA
GET VAX_SOFTWARE:UUD.C
GET VAX_SOFTWARE:UNZIP.UUE
GCG-menu will arrive in four parts. Extract the four parts, remove any mail
header information and concatenate them in the right order into one file
(e.g. GCG_MENU.UUE).
Extract UUD.C, remove mail headers and compile & link it
CC UUD.C
LINK UUD,SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/LIB
Assign a symbol for UUD and decode GCG_MENU.
UUD :== $disk:[directory]UUD
UUD GCG_MENU
Now extract UNZIP in the same way and decode it. Then define a symbol for
UNZIP and decompress GCG_MENU.ZIP (which you got by decoding GCG_MENU.UUE).
UNZIP :== $disk1:[directory]UNZIP
UNZIP GCG_MENU.ZIP
The final result is a AAAREADME.TXT and GCG-MENU022.A . Install the program
as described in the README-file.
By anonymous FTP:
Connect to "ftp.embl-heidelberg.de" and go to /pub/software/vax where you
will find all the files mentioned above. Choose ASCII transfer for all the
files. GCG-menu consists of four files:
- gcg_menu.uaa
- gcg_menu.uab
- gcg_menu.uac
- gcg_menu.uad
Then decode everything in the same way as described before.
