========> [VAX87D.COY]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <======== =============================================================================== Dale E. Coy - Los Alamos National Laboratory =============================================================================== <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This Submission Supersedes ..... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Directories .DM$SD, COLORS, and WPE are complete replacements for our previous submissions of programs DM, SD, COLORS, and WPE. This submission contains eight sub-directories: (1) DM$SD - Contains both DM and SD. ========================================= DM Version 7.2A - An extensive revision of the John C. Hayre / Rich Gregory Directory Management package, using SMG$ for windowing, with several new extensions. SD Version 4.3A - A revision of Alan L. Zirkle's Set Default program, entirely executable (no .COM), with user interface improvements. These are both updates of our Spring 87 submission. Function additions include recognizing VT-300 terminals, and ability to disable dynamic highlighting. Bug fixes, of course. We consider these to be production programs. (2) WPE Version 2.4 ========================================================= A "complete" and extended implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for editing ASCII files, including some Language Sensitive features for .COM files. Two-window editing, the most useful features of EVE-PLUS, etc. Built on TPU and EVE, so it's inherently extendable. Full help and documentation. A finished version, but added features are promised for the future. DM, SD, and WPE work well together, or separately. (3) COLORS Version 4.1 ====================================================== A package for managing and setting "default" colors for VT-241 and VT-340 terminals. Revision to our Spring 87 submission: Completely restructured to provide capability of working with VT-340 terminals. (4) WPELSE Version 1.0 ======================================================= WPELSE is an implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for LSE. Users who know WPS+ have essentially the same keyboard interface. Also LSE users can readily adapt to WPELSE since the LSE peculiar functions are virtually the same. (5) SHOWME =================================================================== Everything you ever wanted to know in one easy program. SHOWME requires no privileges, obtains it's information from the system running it (should require no modification), and recognizes all currently-legal terminal types. It uses whatever "enhanced" characteristics are available on the users' terminal. Page 2 The following information is presented (for example). E8DP2 <> 11/785 <> VMS 4.6 VAXcluster node. User COY at VT300 Series terminal TDA6 (VTA155) Wednesday, November 25, 1987 4:18 PM <> 7 users, 4 batch jobs. Process Name: Dale E. Coy Directory MY$DISK:[COY.DECUS.SHOWME] (6) MCL ======================================================================= This directory contains two programs for producing multi-column listings. MCL is a multi-column lister written by Gerson Cohen, National Institutes of Health, transmitted via Pageswapper. MCL produces an output file using the width of the printer in multi-column listings. It's very useful for saving paper, etc., if your files are very "narrow". Given this inspiration, 2CL was done by Dale E. Coy, Los Alamos National Laboratory. 2CL is tailored specifically for LN03 printers, and does only a 2-column listing. However, it produces a side-by-side listing of two pages 83 columns wide (each), making it useful for program listings, etc. (7) VAXNOTES ================================================================ This directory has a couple of useful things for systems running VAX NOTES: An example program to update NOTES, access the unread count, and notify the user if there are unread notes. (will have to be modified for your system). A NOTES$COMMAND.TPU file which improves the WPS editing interface by defining additional keys (similar to WPE). (8) MAKE_TLB ================================================================= Contains procedures for making a DXC Compressed Text Library of all of the "text" files in a directory. This is useful, for example, if you want to transfer files to another system (especially via modem). Non-text files are excluded, but are listed. An "extract everything" procedure is generated and placed in the text library. ----------- FULL documentation is provided for most of the programs, in .TXT, .WPL (for WPS+), and .LN03 (Very fancy) forms. Memory cartridges are required to print the .LN03 files. Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome. Bug fix requests will also be considered. Page 3 Submitted by: Dale E. Coy Los Alamos National Laboratory E-8, MS/J957, PO Box 1663 Los Alamos, NM 87545 (505) 667-3270 or -7159 FTS 843-3270 or -7159 Supplemental information for some programs: =============================================================================== DM$SD =============================================================================== DM (Directory Manager) Version 7.2A This is a revision to the DM (directory management) package which has appeared on previous VAX SIG Symposium tapes. It provides enhancements to the older DM packages. DM displays the files in your current directory (or your directory tree). With one or two keystrokes, you can do most major DCL commands: delete, copy, purge, print, edit, view, rename, etc. The keystrokes are All-in-1-like. Your favorite editor may be used from DM. The SMG$ interface is used for terminal independence and efficiency. VMS Version 4.5 (or above) is required. The FORTRAN compiler is desirable for customization. May be user-modified to run with VMS 4.4 or earlier, if a FORTRAN compiler is available. Improvements have been made since our Spring 87 submission. ============================================================================== SD (Set Default) Version 4.3A This is a major revision to the SD package which has appeared on previous VAX SIG Symposium tapes. It provides enhancements to the older SD packages. SD is a synonym for "Set Default", providing (in addition to less typing) convenient movement between directories, a "stack" of 20 directories, etc. SD is implemented in FORTRAN for speed, and uses the SMG$ screen interface. Improvements have been made since our Spring 87 submission. =============================================================================== WPE Editor Version 2.4 (WPS+ for ASCII Files) Including the MORE utility WPE is a full (well, almost) implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for use on Page 4 ASCII files. Its advantage is that the user who uses WPS+ has essentially the same keyboard interface to WPE. WPE is, in its own right, an extremely powerful text editor. It is layered on TPU and EVE, and is extendable. It's easy to "get started", full on-line help is provided, as well as extensive user documentation. Features include: All of WPS+ that was reasonable (full-function editing). Two-window editing. Multiple files. Bookmarks. Insert and examine special characters. Print files with special characters. Fixup files by removing CR/LF Automatic tailoring for .COM, .HLP, .FOR, and .TPU files. Read-only interface (called MORE). WPE works efficiently with DM (also in this submission). Instructions are provided on how to use WPE as your VMS Mail editor. =============================================================================== VT-241/VT-340 Color Management Software Version 4.1 PROGRAMS FOR COLOR ON REGIS TERMINALS PURPOSE OF COLORS PROGRAMS: Having a VT-241, VT-340, (or other color ReGIS terminal) is much more fun if you use color combinations other than Red-Blue-Green. These programs make it easy for the user to control his/her terminal colors. A side-effect is that a user connecting a color terminal is immediately given a set of pleasant colors. CO - Gets any user some set of colors. OCO - Used if terminal is garbaged - runs Fix_Crt & restores colors. NCO - Gets a new set of random, contrasting colors. CCO - Gets a new set of random, complementary ("artsy") colors. SCO - Gets a new set of random, similar (soft) colors. PCO - Lists 64 choices and lets the user pick. XCO - An interactive/visual user chooser. The acronyms (sort of) stand for: COlors, Old COlors, NEW COlors, Complementary COlors, Soft COlors, Pick COlors, and (X)change COlors. These programs are lots of fun (if you have a VT-241 or VT-340), and the PCO and XCO programs have a nice user interface implemented in SMG$. Completely updated from previous submissions, because DEC introduced the VT-340 terminal which has a somewhat-different interface from the VT-241. Page 5 =============================================================================== WPELSE Version 1.0 (WPS+ interface for LSE) WPELSE is an implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for LSE. Users who know WPS+ have essentially the same keyboard interface. Also LSE users can readily adapt to WPELSE since the LSE peculiar functions are virtually the same. Features include: All of WPS+ that was reasonable Two window editing multiple files bookmarks insert and examine special characters Print files with special characters and correct tab spacing Fixup files by removing CR/LF Extra tailoring for .COM, .HLP, .FOR, and .TPU files. This directory contains source code (.TPU), section files (.TPU$SECTION) and command files to build a WPS-PLUS interface for LSE. Mike Boorman Los Alamos National Laboratory MEE-10, MS/J580 PO Box 1663 Los Alamos, NM 87545 (505) 667-7011 ========> [VAX87D.LEVINE]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <======== Submission to the Fall 1987 (Anaheim) VAX Sig tape Michael N. LeVine Code 3514 Naval Weapons Center China Lake Ca 93555 (619)939-3970 avn 437-3970 [.BREAKOUT] Basic building blocks to construct your own accounting utilities. Included are programs to scan an accounting file and report on-system up time over the selected interval, incoming DECNET access showing local accounts accessed, remote node and user doing access, print queue utilization showing print queues, pages printed, users and accounts doing the printing. For more information see document in subdirectory. [.HELLO] Command file-requires VT1/2/3xxx terminal. Various sayings, etc. [.INDEX] Fortran Cross-referencer and Flow Chart generator. Powerful static source Fortran source code analyzer. See document in subdirectory for more information. [.JUICER] On line and Offline disk compression and file defrag routines. Disk and file monitoring utilities. See document in subdirectory for for information. [.MUTEX] Tool to locate the cause of the dreaded MWAIT state. Scans all known mutex's and PHD's. Outputs a list of all process's in MWAIT, those with a non-zero mutex count and the state of all known mutex's. See document in subdirectory for more information. [.NETLIST] Fortran program that prints out a condensed version of SHOW NET on the screen of a VT1/2/3xx with paging. Has brief and full display, sorts output by selected parameters-see source. Program contains HELP. Install with foreign command NET :==NETLIST NET HELP for information. [.QUICFONT] Font Editor program for QUIC/QMS printers (Talaris). Allows the user to build his own fonts that can be down loaded to a Talaris printer. Data files are supplied for several fonts-London(old English),Cyrillic,Hebrew. Down line loadable font file (.QUIC) for these fonts is also provided.For more information see document in subdirectory. [.SNAPSHOT] Accounting system crash recovery aid. Runs on a system, taking a snapshot every 15 minutes of all processes active on Page 2 the system and (re)writes the information in the file SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]SNAPSHOT.DAT;1 in the form of accounting records for a process deleted-status is JBC$_JOBABORT. If a system crash occurs, the command file MERGE.COM is used to insert in the proper location in the accounting file, selected records from SNAPSHOT.DAT. MERGE.COM contains further information to guide the user through the preliminary activities needed to properly run MERGE.COM . This allows the system manager to minimize the loss of accounting information for billing, utilization etc due to system crashes to no more than a 15 minute interval. Command file RUN_SNAPSHOT.COM supplied to start program as detached job (should not be invoked from SYSTARTUP.COM as it would overwrite the last snapshot taken before the crash-invoke manually only after recovery). A small window of vulnerability exists in that the contents of SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]SNAPSHOT.DAT can be corrupted if a crash occours during the rewrite cycle (aprx 1-2 sec every 15 minutes). [.TAPE] Fortran program that can read/write blocked card image tapes (max card image 132 chars, max block size 10000 chars) in ASCII or EBCDIC. Much faster than DCL command files. [.TQE] Two versions of a program to print out the contents of the timer queue. The version TQE2 give information in a more understandable manner. Resubmission with bug fix. [.VAXPAINT] Fortran program that reads a MACINTOSH MACPAINT/FULLPAINT document uploaded via MACSNVAX (.MAC file), and converts it to a bitmap in QUIC/QMS (Talaris) format that the user can plot on a Talaris plotter. ========> [VAX87D.RCAF87]AAAREADME.TXT;2 <======== RCA Fall 1987 Collection This directory tree contains a GREAT variety of software for your enjoyment and use. Following is thumbnail descriptions of the collection. [.AMIGA] Several editors, spelling checkers, graphics access routines, and Postscript access routines, generally with source. Includes MicroEmacs 3.9e with sources for Amiga, IBM PC, VAX, and others. Also includes the latest HandShake, an excellent Amiga VT100 emulator. Also includes the Amiga version of AnalytiCalc, with complete src. (Note: there are two Amiga collection tapes in the DECUS library which have about 120,000 blocks of Amiga software between them. Only a VERY small portion of the collection can be included here.) [.ANALYDOC] Documents and graphics utility sources for AnalytiCalc V22-03B [.ANALYOBJ] VMS object libraries for AnalytiCalc spreadsheet. [.ANALYPC] IBM PC release of AnalytiCalc, binary and doc only. [.ANALYSRC] Complete sources to AnalytiCalc spreadsheet for VAX or PDP11, plus auxiliary keypad files and other necessary adjuncts. You can build the spreadsheet from the objects in [.analyobj] but need these files to change anything. The RIM5 DBMS is here also as DATMGR.* (source only). The [.SIRA] subdirectory contains some submissions from Chris Doran of SIRA in England. He provided some bugfixes for AnalytiCalc and inspired some new functions which have been added to the VAX and the Amiga versions. [.ANALYTSKPDP] This area contains PDP11 (RSX11M) task images of AnalytiCalc for RSX and POS. [.DTC0987] VAX Desktop Calendar update. This is a time or meeting scheduler and has some short fixes from Charles Garman to correct some bugs which crept in. [.FINGER] FINGER is a sort of remote SHOW USERS, SHOW SYSTEM, and activity report with many options and the ability to work over a network. This version merges changes from Rich Garland, Dan Cottler, Glenn Everhart, Bruce Zielinski, Gerry VanTrieste, and Rand Hall, plus others. It fixes a potential security problem with earlier versions, adds a short document on customization features, will identify LAT terminals by LAT and port, and generally does many operations more cleanly on current VMS versions than the older Finger programs. Use it on VMS V4.5 or later. [.LZW] Source and completely built Lempel Ziv Welch compress and decompress programs. These are used in a few places to compress files on the SIG tapes to save room. The LZDCM program is used to decompress the compressed files. Fully linked versions are present as well as sources in case of problems with the new VMS VAX11 C runtime library. These versions do not use the sharable image, so will run even where there may be changes to it which will interfere with LZCMP and LZDCM otherwise. Page 2 [.NETNEW] This area contains about 10,000 blocks of utilities, advice, and arcane wisdom taken mostly from the Info-VAX mailing list on the Internet. Of special interest will be things like VI for TPU, two utility sets which let a single VT100 or VT200 control multiple processes, SWING, the BULLETIN utility from MIT (Mark London), LEX and YACC inputs for generating Ada parsers, and much more. The AAAFILES.TXT file contains further descriptions of most files here. [.SSP] The old IBM Scientific Subroutine Package, with comments. Not the latest algorithms, but a generally useful package for statistical or other mathematical purposes. From the DECUS library, but with some messed-up subroutines cleaned up using code which was on an early RSX SIG tape. The library is now complete and documented by headers in front of each routine. [.TARRDR] TAR format tape readers and writers for VMS. TAR format is the dominant tape format for file exchange with Un*x systems. [.VMSDS] Executable image disassembler for VMS. Turns even the weirdest VMS executables into recognizable Macro-32. A new version, much improved over earlier ones. Complete sources are present also. ========> [VAX87D.RCAF87.ANALYSRC.SIRA]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <======== .,----. / `.

Some of it will reach the main DECUS library one day, when I have time (sic!). This software is provided under the usual all-EXclusive standard terms and conditions for free software:- If it doesn't function, crashes your system, erases your life's work, deletes YOUR personal entry in the payroll database, or otherwise behaves obnoxiously -- TOUGH!!!! i.e. Sira offers no guarantee that any of it works as documented (or at all), takes no responsibility whatever for any damage caused by its use or misuse, and does not provide a free software maintenance service! Having said all that, I WOULD like to hear about bugs (bug-fixes are better) and suggested or implemented enhancements. Listings or machine-readable patches as SLP correction files (with checksums, please) are appreciated. Media will be returned, probably with some updates. Building Notes: --------------- RUNOFF sources are suitable for either Digital Standard Runoff, or Bonner Labs Runoff, but not necessarily both! (Re-)submissions This Tape -------------------------- I am resubmitting entire directories, even where only a few files have changed. This makes it easier to be sure you get everything. [.BEGIN] Documentation for new VAX users. [.CAI] Menu-driven Computer Aided Instruction course package. [.COMMAND] What site doesn't have a set of their own command files? [.FORMS] Template machine-writable Readers Comments page and SIR forms. [.HELP] Some general HELP text. [.PFLOAD] Program to load the shift/Fn keys on a VT220 [.SPELL] An English English dictionary. Page 2 [.SYSMGR] Startup command procedures from our SYS$MANAGER. [.WSMITH] Bits and pieces relating to Whitesmiths'/Real Time Systems' C and Pascal compilers, and some miscellaneous C utilities. Submitted to Previous Tape -------------------------- There have been no changes to other items which were submitted in October 1986 (I don't know when/if it was released). See AUTUMN86.TXT for details. Get them from the previous tape, or contact me if you can't. ========> [VAX87D.RCAF87.FINGER]AAAREADME.TXT;2 <======== 23-Sept-1987 VMS FINGER, for VMS 4.2 or later. To build and install FINGER on your system, use: BUILD_FINGER.COM compile sources, and build object libraries INSTALL_FINGER.COM link and install START_FINGER.COM set up initial permanent database Operation of the above procedures requires SYSPRV, CMKRNL and WORLD privileges. File FINGER_CUSTOM.TXT describes areas of the FINGER program that can/should be customized on a per site basis. Most edits are to the file FINGER.FOR. See the file FINGER.DOC for more info on the program. This version of Finger has been heavily modified to include the sort update by Art Greenberg of RCA Labs (sort on personal name (default), login name, terminal, login time, process, or PID. It also includes all mods known to Richard Garland plus various mods done in different parts of RCA and GE. Also added is optional code to locate server and port IDs of LAT terminals. The idea here is that this version of Finger should be the basis for future enhancements, merging all known existing enhancements. The current sources reflect one site's display and security needs; the file for customizing should be examined and Finger should be edited before installation as needed. Code to identify LAT ports, and code to have FINGER filter FINGER.PLN files to eliminate control characters, is present but commented out. The sources currently are set to require at least 3 characters for wildcard username matches also. The LAT code now has been debugged also, and CPU identification has been improved. ========> [VAX87D.SEWELL]AAAREADME.TXT;5 <======== This package consists of programs based on Donald Knuth's WEB System of Structured Documentation, which is the programming methodology used to develop the TeX document compiler, the METAFONT typeface compiler, and all of the support programs for both. The package is composed of three parts: 1) MWEB, a variation of the WEB system which has been adapted to the Modula-2 language (regular WEB uses Pascal as its programming language) 2) WEBMERGE, a program to merge multiple change files together (change files are used to make implementation-dependent changes to an implementation-independent base WEB file---the WEB processors allow only one change file per WEB file) 3) SCANTEX/SCANWEAVE, programs to strip out the parts of a WEB listing which have not been modified by a change file. 4) the LaTex sources for the slides used in session LT005 (Literate Programming: The WEB System of Structured Documentation) at the DECUS Fall 1987 Symposium in Anaheim, with the sample program used in the session. WEB itself is not included in this submission; it is normally bundled with TeX and can be found elsewhere in the DECUS library. TeX is required to use this package anyway, and WEB will come with it. This directory structure contains: [.webm] Files pertaining to WEBMERGE. Print the User's Guide (WEBMUSER.TEX), which is in LaTeX form, for more information. [.mweb] Files pertaining to MWEB, a Modula-2 version of the WEB system. Print the User's Guide (MWEBUSER.TEX), which is in LaTeX form, for more information. [.scan] Files pertaining to SCANTEX/SCANWEAVE, programs to scan TeX files output by WEAVE and remove sections which have not changed. Print the User's Guide (SCANUSER.TEX), which is in LaTeX form, for more information. [.lt005_87f_talk] LaTeX sources and sample program for session LT005 at Anaheim 1987. Page 2 All of the documentation for these programs is in LaTeX source form. If you don't have a running TeX/WEB system, the programs will be useless anyway. If you have TeX running, but not LaTeX, the DVI files are provided and can be sent directly to the TeX device driver for your output device.
