NADGUG Library

 

Data General's user group has maintained a library of software donated by the members and vendors for member use.  This page archives the latest official NADGUG library tape, and permits downloading individual files or the contents of the entire tape.

The contents of each individual file on the NADGUG tape is in AOS/VS DUMP_II format and is contained in a separate .zip-compressed file.

 

This is a .tiff file describing the contents of the user's group library tape, and may be downloaded and viewed using any .tif viewer such as that bundled with MS Windows or U*IX system.

a file transfer protocol developed at Columbia University.  This version was ported by Phil Julian from the Unix C code.  Also included is an EMACS editor (the PC documentation, while not directly applicable, was included as possibly helpful by Randy Berndt).  There are also several compression programs.  KERMIT is public domain, as are the various utilities.  NADGUG.LETTER in the KERMIT sub-directory is the letter phil included with his tape.  It has some helpful information on getting KERMIT started.

misckerm.zip
972,455
MISCKERM is my official "KERMIT non-categorized storage facility".  If it doesn't have anything to do with Phil Julian's version, but it is related to KERMIT, it goes here.  Of special interest is the DG/1 KERMIT (the DG/1 uses a different comm chip, and can't use regular IBM PC Kermit).  The source of most of these versions is nebulous at best, and I don't have information on a lot of them, so CAVEAT EMPTOR!
msdos.zip
