759.0. "Clean up note 9" by CRATE::WAKEHAM () Mon Feb 05 1990 10:46

    I have noticed that many of the pointers to available software in note 9
    are either incorrect or have some sort of privelege violation. I would
    be most grateful if message 9 could be cleaned up, showing pointers only
    to available software, and that where possible the protections removed
    and the path names corrected when they have been moved else where.
    The area which I was particularly interested in was on
            PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST.WHACK] and
    	    PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST.METAFONT] both of theres caused
    a protection violation.
    
    			Thanks very much for all your help

759.1What's out of date?PRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeffrey A. LomickaMon Feb 05 1990 16:3618
The area PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST.WHACK] is NOT MEANT to be
world readable.  The publically available WHACK files are
PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]WHACK.TXT,WHACKZOO, and WHACKPRG.ZOO. 
The [.WHACK] directory is used for various source files and old
versions that are not meant for general distribution.

The area PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST.METAFONT] is also not announced
as a world readable area.  The announced area is in message 9.47, on
node IJSAPL::.

As far as I am concerned, both of your problems are non-problems.  The
stuff I "oficially" keep on PRNSYS is listed in STFILES.DOC in the ".ST"
directory.

There is, however, no reason to keep my metafont files protected, so if
it is easier for you to get to PRNSYS, you may, as long as they last,
get the Metafont stuff there.
