I am posting this for the DECUS Library, please send all inquiries to the 
address indicated. 


The DECUS Library can now accept some submissions electronically.  The 
following are the guidelines for submitting material to the DECUS Library 
via electronic means.


Guidelines for Electronic submission to the DECUS Library.

1.  Items can be submitted to the DECUS Library electronically.  The only 
current electronic method is via Electronic Mail.  Mail can be Internet or 
from the DECUServe system via DECnet.  The addresses are 
decuslibrary@decus.org from the Internet or TOPAZ::DECUSLIBRARY from the
DECUServe system.

2. Submissions need to be smaller than 2000 VAX disk blocks (1 MB) in size in
order to be  submitted electronically.  Anything larger than that must be
submitted using a  magnetic media.

3. Submissions still require that a signed Library Submission form be
filled out a  sent into the Library.  The form, which is attached, can
either be sent through normal Mail (US  Mail) or FAXed to (508) 841-3357. 
A submission will not be processed if  a Library Submission form is not
received.  When you send in the electronic  submission of the software, you
will need to indicate whether you are sending  the submission form in
through the Postal service or FAX.  The Postal address  for the submission
form is:

	DECUS Library 
	333 South St, SHR1-4 /D33
	Shrewsbury, MA  01545-4195

4. Submissions can be of any type the Library currently accepts.  They can be 
DOS, Macintosh, RSX, RT, IAS, VMS, TOPS, Ultrix, etc.  Since electronic mail 
is an ascii only system, you will most likely have to encode the submission to 
send it through E-Mail.  The following are supported ways of encoding the 
submission: 

	UUENCODEd files
	MFTU Encoded files
	VMS_Share submissions
	Unix SHARE submissions

The Library can also handle the following formats which can be used to
compress the file for mailing:

	LZW Compress or GNU Compress Files (including BACKUP Savesets)
	UNIX Compress
	VMS Compressed Libraries
	ZIP Archives
	ARC Archives
	ZOO Archives
	LHARC Archives

5. In many cases the Library will be able to accept a source code submission 
and generate the objects and executable images.  Some times it may be required 
to have the full submission, including the objects and executable as part of 
the submission.  If you only want to submit the source, please insure that a 
good command procedure or make file or other script is supplied to rebuild the 
program(s).  It is encouraged to have you check about submitting source only 
before doing such.  Such message should be sent to decuslibrary@decus.org.

6.  Extremely small submissions may be collected to be put into a larger 
submission.  Such items would be command procedures and small utility 
programs of like types (system manager utilities).  Full credit will be given 
to each submittor for their submission.

7.  Any questions on this procedure can be sent to the DECUSLIBRARY e-mail 
address. 
	

If the software is being submitted electronically, please note ELECTRONIC 
under Media Type and the date it was sent.
