4774.0. "distributing internal software externally?" by ALFAM7::URBAN () Wed Aug 14 1996 12:30

    I have written some software to do data collection on Digital UNIX.  It
    is primarily intended for benchmark situations, where the measurement
    software should use as little system resources as possible.
    
    I would like to make the software available to the public via
    ftp.digital.com and announce it using the alpha-osf-managers mailing
    list.
    
    The Question is: from whom do I need to get permission to do this?  In
    principle, the software is very similar to alan rollow's 'monitor',
    which is freely available.
    
    thanks
    
    Rob Urban

4774.1	Maybe we should talk?	DISCOS::SHAH		`Wed Aug 14 1996 13:00`	9
	Rob, Hi I am Manoj Shah, product manager for Capacity Planner product. May be we can use what you have. My product takes feed from all other UNIX platforms as well. Regards, Manoj
4774.2	sure	ALFAM7::URBAN		`Wed Aug 14 1996 15:35`	12
	At the moment, anybody within digital is welcome to the data collector. It can be found on: NASAXP::collect.tar.gz (DECnet) nasaxp.rto.dec.com:collect.tar.gz (anon ftp) At the moment, you need lsm installed (at least you need the includes) to be able to compile it. If you'd like the executable only, I can make them available (there are different ones for V3.x and V4). Rob Urban
4774.3	DECUS, and/or freeware CD	PERFOM::HENNING		`Wed Aug 14 1996 17:39`	8
	Once upon a time, you could contribute freeware to DECUS and they would in turn redistribute it. It was a fairly simple form, which needed only a few signatures. Ask DECUS. Also, there is a freeware CD that comes with Digital UNIX. There ought to be a product manager somewhere in the UNIX group that would know the procedure for making contributions to it (and getting Digital's approval for it).

	He should be here shortly, Peter Kaiser, as I've seen some recent posting by him. He must be on vacation, it's August in Europe. I think he was involved in the Distribution of the first Freeware CD for Digital UNIX. You might want to send him at note at HERON::KAISER. Regards,
4774.5		QUARK::LIONEL	Free advice is worth every cent	`Wed Aug 14 1996 22:28`	5
	Send mail to [email protected]. I don't think Pete is involved with this anymore. There's a new two-disc freeware set with Digital UNIX V4.0, and OpenVMS also has a freeware CD. Steve

4774.7		HERON::KAISER		`Fri Aug 16 1996 05:02`	8
	The new UNIX freeware CD was done by UNIX Engineering, but I don't know by whom in particular. For VMS, Steve Zalewski ([email protected]) would be an excellent contact. I still get mail from outside Digital at [email protected], an address established in 1992. And I answer it, too. ___Pete
4774.8	Updated OpenVMS Freeware Contact...	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Wed Aug 21 1996 16:46`	5
	: For VMS, Steve Zalewski (...) would be an excellent contact. Per Z, the creation of the next OpenVMS freeware disk has been passed to Glen Everhart ([email protected])...
