In order to facilitate the job of packaging the software on the freeware CD,
here is the simple process that must be followed.
Build the software into a saveset. Each product must be in a DIFFERENT
directory. If the sources are included, place them in a subdirectory called .SRC.
You need to supply the following files with each directory:
- FREEWARE_README.TXT
This file must have the following format for the FIRST line:
PACKAGE_NAME, CATEGORY, ONE_LINE_DESCRIPTION
for example:
INTOUCH 4GL, LANGUAGES, High-performance 4GL for VAX and Alpha systems
The one-line descriptions will be truncated to 60 characters. This
will allow them to display nicely on the selection menus later on.
Any additional lines of text in the FREEWARE_README.TXT file will
be displayed to the user from the MENU SYSTEM, if they choose this package from the menu.
| The list of catagories to choose from are: |
| Games |
Graphics |
Languages |
| Miscellaneous |
Motif Toys |
Software |
| System Management |
Storage Management |
Tools |
| Utilities |
|
|
- FREEWARE_DEMO.TXT file (optional)
The FREEWARE_DEMO.TXT file is text that can explain how to try this
software...or explains what the FREEWARE_DEMO.COM file will be
showing the user.
- FREEWARE_DEMO.COM (optional)
If the user selects this package from the menu system,
the FREEWARE_DEMO.COM file will be executed.
Each directory should contain the VAX and Alpha
executables (if possible),
help text, documentation, sources (in [.SRC]) and then anything else
you want to put there.
If the software is already kitted as a VMSINSTAL or PCSI kit, that is fine.
Just put the kits in the directory along with the instructions. PLEASE
make sure that the .txt and .com files are easy to read and understand. The
more friendly your instructions and directions, the more likely that
others will want to try it.
- NOTE: In order for the software to be considered for
- inclusion on the CD, the release form MUST be submitted with the software.
Electronic copies of the signed release form are acceptable.
HP is committed to protecting your privacy. Learn more.
If you have internet access, you can send feedback and we will copy the kit electronically.
You can also submit the software package on a tape
(TK50, TK70 or TLZ04 is preferred).
» for instructions on where to send your tape.
OpenVMS Engineering is looking forward to your submissions...

DEVELOPER RELEASE FORM:
As the owner or developer of this software or as the
developer that has ported to or as modified an existing open-source
package for use on OpenVMS, I release it to be included on the HP
OpenVMS Freeware media and on the OpenVMS and other Freeware websites. If the software
package requires a license or a Product Authorization Key (PAK), I will
provide and/or will authorize the OpenVMS Freeware maintainer to
provide an unlimited and non-terminating license or PAK. I expect no
renumerance for the use of this software from any party. The GPL,
FreeBSD, or other common open-source software license(s) may apply to
the submission package.
I understand that the maintainer of the OpenVMS Freeware may decline to
include my package for export or other regulatory reasons, due to
insufficient storage, or for any other reasons at the discretion of the
Freeware maintainer and of HP. Please contact the OpenVMS Freeware
maintainer if you have any questions on this agreement.
