(SHARE PROGRAM LIBRARY AGENCY)
** Experimental limited documentation AWS format tools required **
AWS tape images of the SPLA tapes. These were 3480 tapes which Freddie had copied the files from the original reel tapes.
SPLA.zip Large File 389M
Some documentation on the contents
SPLADOC.zip 81kb
Much more documentation on the contents. This is the full program documentation in PDF format. New April 2009
SPLA_FULLDOC_PDF.zip Large File 93M
These are being made available here so that volunteers can download them and begin the work of extracting all the files most likely using Flex or Hercules emulation systems. The goal is to sort out all the material and make it more easily acessible for those interested parties not running an MVS system which can directly process AWS tape images.
Special Thanks to Freddie Robinson and the University of Miami for carefully preserving this material!
