* The Official SCO Ported Software Compendium *
Date Last Updated: September 15, 1990
The below list is a non-inclusive compendium of software which has been
ported to the XENIX operating system. All files can be downloaded from
anomaly. Anonymous FTP is provided courtesy of Mike Squires of
sir-alan.cica.indiana.edu. Alternate downloading sites are indicated
when available. This list is published monthly on the 15th of the
month in the COMP.UNIX.XENIX.SCO newsgroup.
Updates to this list should be mailed to: mpd at anomaly.sbs.com
or, for those of you who like bang-paths: ...!uunet!anomaly.sbs.com!mpd
Naturally, we accept your opinions and criticisms as well, but reserve the
right to dismiss them with a grain of salt.

To download a file, issue the following uucp request on your machine:
uucp anomaly!~/archives/<filename> yoursite!<to-filename>
All files are stored in /usr/spool/uucppublic/archives on anomaly.
If you have a file to donate to the XENIX archives, then kindly upload
it as follows:
uucp yoursite!<filename> anomaly!~/incoming/<filename>
This will store the file in anomaly's incoming directory for posting to
the archives. Please include a mail message to "mpd" indicating what the
file is, etc.
If you are unable to upload a file to us, but have some that you wish to
contribute, we will be happy to either Anonymous FTP or UUCP them. Just
leave a message to "mpd" with the pertinent information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Note: The archives on Anomaly are in source code format, with
exception of the GCC compiler. If you are interested in
obtaining a shell account to compile the source (in case
you don't have the Devsys, or don't want to download the
GCC compiler, send a mail message to "mpd". Shell accounts
are available at no charge to qualified individuals.

STARCGI
Copyright 1990 Ronald Florence
The starchart CGI driver, for use with SCO Xenix and Unix, provides most of
the features and the resolution of the starpost driver. To use the CGI driver,
you must have the CGIPATH and CGIDISP and/or CGIPRNT environmental variables
declared. You may need the FONTS, RESOLUTION, and VERIFYFONT environmental
variables for your CGI devices.
Thanks to Ron Florence (..!uunet!hsi!mlfarm!ron) for the donation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-r--r--r-- 1 xxcp uucp 22094 Jul 13 21:37 tek.shar
This package creates yet another tek4014 emulator. On a Xenix system with the
CGI package, the Makefile will create tek and poly (actually a link). Tek
reads tek4014 input and outputs it to any CGI device. Poly reads ascii
integer or floating point xy points. Using the SCO CGI devices, we have
successfully used tek and poly with a VGA, EGA, and CG display, HP 7470a
plotter, Laserjet, Deskjet, Epson printers, and a Postscript printer. To use
the CGI drivers, make sure you have the CGIPATH and CGIDISP or CGIPRNT
environmental variables declared. Tek and poly also recognize and work
correctly with a Wyse wy99gt terminal.
Thanks to Ron Florence (..!uunet!hsi!mlfarm!ron) for the donation.
