SCO Online Support - Technical Library Supplements

As you know, the SCO Online Support system provides various support and
educational materials for interactive access via our BBS systems, ftp, and
anonymous uucp.  Most of these files reside in directories under
/usr/spool/uucppublic.  

Europeans may find the mirror site in England more acccessible:
src.doc.ic.ac.uk[146.169.3.7]:/unix/sco-archive

The directories online are:

   SLS - SCO Support Level Supplements (fixits, updates, etc.)
   EFS - Extended Feature Supplements (improved product components)
   Supplements - SCO product maintenance supplements
   Games - unsupported, recreational games and amusing material
   Term - updated termcap and terminfo files
   TLS - SCO Technical Library Supplements, unsupported

Each of these directories has a README or "info" file that describes
the material therein, and they are fairly self explanatory. 
This article describes the Technical Library Supplements.

The files in TLS are offered for experimental or educational use.  They
are NOT supported by SCO Support department.  In some cases, these are
components or updates to existing SCO Software; other material may be
educational or supplementary documentation.  We do not intend this to be
yet another archive of freely available software that has been compiled
for SCO.  That function is well served by other archive sites (thanks!).
The material here is primarily that which SCO uniquely can provide, or
which is not readily available elsewhere.

In general you will need a licensed SCO operating system to use these
files, and any executables here are provided to you under the terms of
your SCO software license or other applicable licenses.  You will
probably also need a good understanding of how to use the SCO system,
and a certain amount of daredevil, thrillseeking appreciation for
dangerous and astounding results when you deploy these early release
software components.

For a list of available supplements, see the file "info" or "file.list"
in /usr/spool/uucppublic/TLS on sosco or scolon (our machine names).
The file.list is appended below. 

For those of you that have accounts with us at the California site, the
files can be downloaded interactively from the SCO Online Support BBS.
Follow the menus in the "software toolchest" selection.  We support
kermit, Xmodem, Ymodem and Zmodem.  This support will be provided
at London (scolon)  soon.

These files are also accessible via anonymous uucp (see below). 

For USA, Canada, Pacific Rim, Asia, and Latin America customers, this is the
current SOS modem configuration at the SCO California office:

For Europe/Middle East/Africa customers, this is the system at
SCO EMEA (London):

Generally, we name the TLS distribution files like this:
  
       tlsxxx.1   = binary floppy image, volume 1
       tlsxxx.1.Z = same thing, but compressed
       tlsxxx.ltr = cover letter, ascii file
       tlsxxx.c   = source code file
       tlsxxx.doc.Z = documentation and other propoganda
       tlsxxx.tar.Z = tar archive file, compressed.
       <something else> = miscellaneous documentation, etc.
  
There are a few gaps in the numbering, due to TLSs not yet ready
and other assorted reasons.

Note that we do not compress all floppy images.  Some SCO distributions
have files that are already compressed and to compress again is
counterproductive.  Some TLS files may just be tar files, not floppy
images.  In some cases the uucp g protocol may raise alarms when used
with certain modems that perform data compression.  If you get
uucp alarms, try turning of data compression in your modem, if it is
used.

Again: TLS materials are NOT supported as SCO products; rather,
they are provided "as-is" to knowledgeable users as a courtesy.  Please
do not contact my friends in the Support department about these
materials.  All use of these materials is the sole responsibility of the
user.  Back up your system before using this material.  Be careful.
Good luck.

Anyone is welcome to redistribute this notice to other newsgroups or
customers.  If you have comments about these distributions, feel free to
contact me.  E-mail _strongly_ preferred.

SCO Technical Library Supplements 

Distributions in this category are NOT supported as
SCO products - they are provided "as-is" to knowledgeable users as a courtesy.
Some distributions contain examples which are specific to some particular
release, or which are not complete.  All use of these materials is the sole
responsibility of the user.  Please do not contact SCO Support about
this material; rather, direct your comments to the authors (where named) or
to the SCO Engineering personnel named below.

Files ending in .Z have been reduced in size by the SCO compress utility.  The
compress and uncompress utilities are included with SCO XENIX releases 2.3.0
and later, SCO UNIX, and SCO Open Desktop.  Copies are also available from
the SOS facility.  See /usr/spool/uucppublic/SLS/info for more information.
To uncompress a file, use the uncompress command, or the -u option with the
compress command.  Example:
	"uncompress tls002.1.Z"
