NJE Fix

njefix.txt: An e-mail message containing a source patch to OFCNJE. This fixes a problem which showed up with later maintenance levels of JES2. (ASCII)

Files

The following files have been unloaded from an MVS system (EBCDIC) and then compressed with gzip. Instructions for reloading them are below.

doclib.x.gz: UCLA/Mail and IPC/370 documents (script output, the script input is in ipcjcl or ofcjcl).
docrfc.x.gz: RFCs and other docs related to mail, dns and the Internet.
ipcjcl.l.gz: IPC/370 JCL library
ipcmac.l.gz: IPC/370 assembler macro library
ipcsrc.l.gz: IPC/370 assembler source
ofcjcl.l.gz: UCLA/Mail post office JCL
ofcmac.l.gz: UCLA/Mail post office macro library
ofcsrc.l.gz: UCLA/Mail post office source
ofcparm.x.gz: UCLA/Mail post office sample parameter file
mssmac.x.gz: UCLA/OAC systems group assembler macro library
msssrc.l.gz: misc TSO and JES2 mods source library (not TSO mail command)
netsrc.l.gz: JES2 nodal message modifications and SMTP mods
tsosrc.x.gz: UCLA/Mail TSO mail command
usrsrc.l.gz: non-UCLA contributed src/mods

The following TSPLIB, TSMLIB, and TSCLIB libraries contain a very old ISPF application for sending and receiving mail. Some information on this is available in TSOSRC member FULLSCRN. This has been replaced at UCLA by one written by Doron Shikmoni of Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel, which is not distributed with UCLA/Mail.

tsplib.l.gz: TSO ISPF PANEL library (very old)
tsmlib.l.gz: TSO ISPF MSG library (very old)
tsclib.x.gz: TSO ISPF CLIST library (very old)

The following are the base 1.500 level of the post office code. This isn't the latest (which is above) but since it had the widest distribution it could be of some interest.

ofcbase.jcl.v1500.l.gz: UCLA/Mail post office V1.500 JCL
ofcbase.mac.v1500.l.gz: UCLA/Mail post office V1.500 macros
ofcbase.src.v1500.l.gz: UCLA/Mail post office V1.500 source

The following is the version of the TSO mail command which was usually distributed. It is very old at this point.

tsosrc-old.l.gz: very old version of the UCLA/Mail TSO mail command

File Reloading

Each file you want needs to be downloaded in binary. Hopefully this will work with your web browser. Eventually, it is hoped, these files will be available from other sites. These pages on UCLA/Mail will not be available here forever.
Each file ending in .gz needs to be gzip decompressed. I've seen one version of Netscape (on Linux) do this decompress automatically when downloading the files. Otherwise you will need to get gzip and uncompress them yourself. If they have all been downloaded into the same directory gunzip * should do it. There shouldn't be any error messages. If you get error messages suspect that the download didn't work correctly.
Each decompressed file needs to be transferred to an MVS system. All should be LRECL 80 and RECFM FB with some reasonable BLKSIZE (like 3120 or 6160). If using FTP remember to use binary mode.
The files ending in .l have been unloaded from partitioned data sets into IEBUPDTE input format. You can reload them by running IEBUPDTE.

The files ending in .x have been unloaded from partitioned data sets with the MVS TSO transmit command. They need to be processed through the TSO receive command:

RECEIVE INDATASET(--datasetname--)

When prompted for additional data by receive supply something like this:

da(-new-dataset-) pri(pri-space) sec(sec-space) tracks dir(-dir-blocks-) vol(...)

This should result in them being reconverted back to PDSs.

In theory you only need the latest of each of the OFCJCL, OFCMAC, OFCSRC files. However, compressed these aren't all that big, it would be good for an archive to have both sets.
