This index is based on Edward Vielmetti's index of January 28, 1988, partially revised by Stephen Kowalczyk on September 6, 1989. I have tried to follow Ed's pattern, and have used his descriptions of files where they exist. Other descriptions come from document files or from discussion in PC1:!CONF. I would welcome corrections and revisions, particularly to the descriptions of files. Comments on the relative usefulness of different programs which appear to do more or less the same thing would also be helpful. The index is up to date as of April 1991, and applies only to files on PC1, not msdos.archive.umich.edu. Emily Cloyd PC1:!index: an index to the files on PC1. .ZIP files: use PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip. .ZOO files: use ZOO201.EXE to decompress. .LZH files: use LHARC113.EXE .ARC files: use ARCE.COM to unpack. .LBR files: use LUE.COM to un-library. .?Q? files: use USQ.COM to unsqueeze. PC1:!READ.ME has recently been re-written and updated by Sarah Gray. Concise, clear information about all aspects of PC1, especially downloading files. Item numbers refer to items in PC1:!conf on the UM system. 1:27 refers to Item 27 in PC1:!CONF1 (type NEW at DO NEXT? in PC1:!CONF); 2:34 refers to Item 34 in the current conference. These items often contain valuable information about experience with the program. Size references are to uncompressed files. Filename: Item Author Version Size Date -------- ---- ------ ------- ---- ---- !CONF The PC1 conference on public domain and user-supported software for the IBM PC. Allan Bjorklund and Sarah Gray, organizers. To join, $SOURCE PC1:!CONF from either UM or UB. The UM and UB conferences are cloned. !INDEX This index to the files on PC1. !READ.ME Sarah Gray 03/27/91 How to get public domain and user-supported DOS software from PC1 on MTS and msdos.archive.umich.edu. Clear, step-by-step instructions for both sources. Recently revised and updated by Sarah Gray. This is an essential starting point. !MACROS Allan Bjorklund 01/08/90 !MACROS.W 03/21/90 Macros to help in using PC1. !MACROS.W contains brief instructions on them. !UNZIP Allan Bjorklund 03/29/80 Use this from the MTS prompt (#) to examine .ZIP files without downloading them. Type RUN PC1:!UNZIP PAR=-v PC1:FILENAME to see information about the files .ZIPped under FILENAME.ZIP in PC1 (no, there isn't any such file: it's just an example). Then, to read an text file listed there (say FILENAME.DOC), type RUN PC1:!UNZIP PAR=-a PC1:FILENAME FILENAME.DOC. This will create a file in your account called FILENAME.DOC which you can now read by typing at the MTS prompt, LIST FILENAME.DOC. For more detailed information about !UNZIP, type LIST PC1:!MACROS.W at an MTS prompt. NOTE: It is also possible to examine .ARC files without downloading them. Start from the # prompt. Type RUN *ARC PAR=V PC1:FILENAME.ARC to see information about the files .ARCed under FILENAME.ARC, and, after you have examined the list for a text file, type RUN *ARC PAR=E PC1:FILENAME.ARC FILENAME.DOC to create the file in your account, which you may read as above. Type RUN *ARC PAR= for more information about *ARC. REMINDER: Probably you won't want to keep these text files in your account. Move or destroy them while you still remember what they are.
