Our entry in the ARPAnet Resource Handbook is online as SUAI.TXT[NET,MRC].
I have already substancially updated it to reflect many system changes,
particularly in the network software.

You are invited to submit contributions to this write-up.  In particular,
I'm interested in program descriptions for subsystems which we are willing
to make available to network users for usage here or or export.  For
example, programs like the music group's and S-1 group's software aren't
represented at all, neither are some commonly used utilities like POX.
I guess things like the PASCAL compiler should be listed too.  Ordinary
obvious things like FORTRAN or MACRO-10 in general shouldn't be listed.

Please do NOT update SUAI.TXT itself--it's a readonly file (all writes are
reserved).  MAIL your updates to MRC.  This isn't for any bureaucratic
reason; it's just to prevent screws with two people trying to update the
file at the same time, and to make sure all entries are in proper format.

General rules:

	(1)  Keep it short and simple.
	(2)  You will simplify my task greatly if you send it to me in
		the proper format to begin with.  See the example below
		for "proper format".
	(3)  Stick to standard ASCII (no SAIL graphics).  Also, tabs are
		a no-no (I will replace tabs with the right number of
		spaces) since they blow NLS' mind.
	(4)  I will not make any editorial changes other than making sure
		the format is right.  Please make sure you want to have
		it published as you said it!

A sample program description is:

       (E)

          TYPE:  Display text editor

          DESCRIPTION:  E is a text editor used from local display terminals
          at Stanford.  It uses random access, edit-in-place operation, so
          small changes to large files are done very much faster than in
          recopying editors such as SOS or TECO.  Changes to the text within a
          line are made using the line editing facilities in the timesharing
          monitor, which gives fast response to editing commands since E need
          not be swapped in and scheduled for these commands.
          E is currently the popular text editor at SU-AI.

          ACCESS:
            [.]etv <SP> FILENAME <CR>

          NETWORK USE PARAMETERS:
            Although E can be run from a terminal which is not a
            local Stanford display, it is not designed for such
            use; many of its facilities are not available in that
            mode of operation.
            Datamedia 2500 terminals (and SUPDUP terminals) are
            "local Stanford displays" and enjoy E's full facilities.
