Message-ID: <57482@aerospace.AERO.ORG> Date: 8 Sep 89 20:42:27 GMT References: <8039@potomac.ads.com> Sender: news@aerospace.aero.org Lines: 106 I am including the message I was sent when I subscribed to the simulator-users mailing group. The only significant change that I know of is that there is now an X-windows version of the graphical interface available from the same source. I don't remember the specific files to get, but it was fairly obvious once you ftp over. I have gotten one of the X-windows versions to work, but not the other. The forwarded message contains all the necessary information to obtain RCS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . . .__.

On this list you will find the other users of the Rochester Connectionist Simulator. Please forgive my tardiness in adding you to the mailing list. If it's any consolation, there has been little traffic on the list. If you have any ADMINISTRATIVE requests, such as mailing list additions or deletions, please send them to Please send BUG REPORTS to We are interested in fixing bugs, but can't make any promises! Please make your bug reports as specific as possible. =============================================================================== The Rochester Connectionist Simulator, version 4.1, is available by anonymous FTP from CS.Rochester.Edu, in the directory public/rcs. Version 4.1 was released on April 5, 1988, and can be found in the file "rcs_v4.1.tar.Z". It is a compressed tar file, size 837215 bytes. When uncompressed, it should be size 3092480 bytes, and running the Unix "sum" program on it should yield "62514 3020". This is too big to mail electronically, so please don't ask. REMEMBER TO USE THE "TYPE TENEX" or "TYPE BINARY" COMMAND IN FTP WHEN RETRIEVING COMPRESSED TAR FILES!!! Official bug reports also reside in this directory: rcs_v4.1.patch.01 fixes a SERIOUS problem in the logging feature. rcs_v4.1.patch.02 fixes some minor syntactic problems in the doc. rcs_v4.1.patch.03 a missing "return" makes commands noops on SUN4 The patches can be applied by hand if necessary, but you will make your life easier if you obtain the widely-available "patch" program, and redirect each patch file into "patch -p". Other files of interest: rcs_v4.1.note.01 the doc's missing "urcsmanual" TeX files. rcs_v4.1.doc.tar.Z the manual, in postscript format, ready to print =============================================================================== If you are unable to obtain anonymous FTP access to the simulator distribution, you can still order a copy the old way. Contact Peg Meeker Computer Science Department University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 (USA) or , and she will send you the approriate forms. We are currently charging $150 for a distribution tape and a manual. If you have TeX and a PostScript printer, you should be able to produce your own copy of the 181-page manual. If you want a paper copy of the manual anyway, send a check for $10 per manual (payable to the University of Rochester) to Peg Meeker Peet at the above address. We do not have the facilities for generating invoices, so payment is required with any order. ===============================================================================
