(Correct me if I'm wrong... I'm sure someone will.) Dispite all apparent talk about wsmr-simtel20.army.mil being hard to get to, I was able to ftp into it this morning twice and ftp "get" some files. File transfer was slow (could have been on our end), but it did work. Recent calls for Ada parsers led me to write this. SIMTEL20 is hosted on a DEC 20/TOPS20. Directory structures do no appear in directory listings; thus, you have to know the directories before you "cd." "get" the file SIMTEL20-ADA.INFO file in the anonymous root directory (about 64K). It contains all the ASR information that you need. The parser is contained in the directory PD2: either as a program (non-squeezed source) PARSER.SRC or in the large (572K) file ABSTRACT.SRC. To get there or to get to any subdirectory you must use the entire path name: cd pd2: SRC files containe separate appended files. To UNappend them get UNPAGE.ADA from pd2:; this program will extract all the appended files into separate files. For those of you interested in the pretty printers cd to pd2:; there are three different ones there (I believe). The powerful one uses most (if not all) the separate files in ABSTRACT.SRC Good Luck. ------------------------------------------------------*------o Happy--- -- George C.
