2532.0. "=> to ARC,WARP,ZOO sources needed" by MANTIS::LONG () Wed May 03 1989 21:06

I've looked all over for sources for ARC, WARP, or ZOO with no luck. Anybody
know where I might find a copy and what it's PD status is?  This isn't going 
into a commercial product for sale but will be put into a particular DEC-
internal manufacturing workcell to assist the backup procedure.  

Sorry if I got anybodys hopes up but we aren't using Amigas yet in 
manufacturing ( as far as I know ) but the bandwidth for issues around these 
utilities is much greater in this notesfile than elsewhere.

The target machine is a Vaxmate but the operating system is QNX so I would
prefer fairly generic C code if it's available.

Many thanks,
	Dick

    Don't know the status of WARP, but the following messages are returned
    from ZOO 2.0 and ARC 0.23

2532.2*sources = CSCMASLEVERS::PLOUFFWait a NanojiffyThu May 04 1989 13:2620
    ARC started out in the MS-DOS world, and ZOO in the UNIX world.
    MS-DOS sources and executables are in 
    
    	CSCMAS::SYS$MSDOS:[ARC-LBR]        and
    	CSCMAS::SYS$MSDOS:[ZOO]
    
    respectively.  UNIX versions are in 
    
    	CSCMAS::SYS$UNIX:[ARC-PROGS]
    
    in TAR format.  There are also VMS versions floating around in source
    somewhere.  The IBMPC notesfile is full of warnings that the
    proprietors of CSCMAS:: want you to copy these files only outside
    Massachusetts business hours.
    
    As far as I know, WARP is peculiar to the Amiga and its authors
    have never released source code.  If you are running a UNIX variant,
    you might also want to look at standard utilities like 'compress.'
