Hello,
a new version of GCG-menu for VMS/OpenVMS is now available at the
EBI-fileserver. It includes adaptions to GCG V8.1 .
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 ebi.ac.uk" containing the following
lines in the body of the mail (leave the subject field empty).
GET VAX_SOFTWARE:GCG-MENU.UUE
GET VAX_SOFTWARE:UUD.C
GET VAX_SOFTWARE:UNZIP.UUE
The last two lines only if you don't already have access to UUD and UNZIP.
GCG-menu will arrive in four parts. Extract each part from your mail,
remove any mail header information and concatenate all four parts in the
right order into a single file named 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.ebi.ac.uk" and go to /pub/software/vms where you
will find all the files mentioned above. Choose ASCII transfer for all the
files. GCG-menu consists of a single file:
- gcg-menu.uue
Then decode everything in the same way as described before.
Regards
Christoph Gartmann
