---<snip>--- Re: SLAC VM Batch System availability ? Thomas Kern Wed, 26 Dec 2007 05:51:07 -0800 If you do find a Sysprog or User's guide, I would like to get a copy. The last time I implemented the LARS/Purdue system, I had to plow through all of the source code to see how it was working. It has been a long time since then so I don't think I will remember any of the details of the inner workings. /Tom Kern Shedlock, George wrote: As I recall, the Lars system was comprised of 10-12 separate files on tape. One (maybe more) of the files was a complete systems programming and user guide. These were in a printed manual format (script?). Brain cells are fuzzy this morning.

Not of the LARS/Purdue system. The copy Dave Jones supplied looks complete. I don't remember there ever being any documentation except for the source and the one end-user help file. /Tom Kern Shedlock, George wrote: Tom, The one I have is probably the LARS/Purdue system. If Dave Jones already supplied a copy of it, do you still need another copy?

There are two (I think different) Batch Systems that were available at different times. One is the LARS/Purdue Batch system. Dave Jones has already supplied that. The other was from SLAC and was meant for the High Energy Physics crowd. Both required mods to CP, and SLAC may have had mods to CMS as well. I am interested in BOTH. /Tom Kern Shedlock, George wrote: Tom, Are you referring to the old CMS Batch system that appeared on one of the old VM Workshop tapes? From what I remember, it required several mods to both CP and CMS modules in order to function properly. I believe I have a copy hanging around ..... Somewhere. I'll look at home.

Does anyone know if the old SLAC VM Batch System is still available from somewhere? Anyone have a copy collecting dust? /Tom Kern ---<snip>--- Some years ago I send Dave Jones many 3490 tapes with years of VM Workshops, PC Tools, and VMSHARE logs. I searched my primitive index of those tapes, but the only pertinent LARS references were to VMSHARE MEMO and NOTE files (see below). Some of the old VMSHARE discussions of LARS can be found at: http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare/browse?fn=LARSBAT&ft=MEMO&args=KEYS#hit and http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare/browse?fn=LARSMODS&ft=NOTE&args=KEYS#hit If Dave ever did supply both, perhaps he could be convinced to to put it on his V/Soft web site for archeological reasons?

I don't know for sure, but it may have been on a Waterloo Mods tape for a couple of years. I will look at the copyright, but I do not have a server that it can be served out from. Would anyone like to volunteer to host these files on their download site? /Tom Kern Dave Wade wrote: > Thom, > Is it freely distributable?
