RSX/IAS SIG Tape Distribution - Fall 1987
===========================================
This is the RSX/IAS SIG Symposium Tape from the Fall 1987 DECUS
Symposium at Anaheim. The tape contains material submitted by the
user community for the tape at that meeting.
The programs on this tape are from user submissions. The DECUS
staff, the RSX & IAS SIG staffs, and DEC are all in complete ignorance
of the contents of the tapes. No warranty of any kind is implied in
the distribution of these tapes. The programs may or may not be well
documented, they may or may not work, they may even crash your system.
If you have a problem with the contents of the tape, contact the
author of the program. Do not contact DECUS, DEC, or the RSX or IAS
SIGs.
The tape contains about 1515 files requiring 58,000 blocks of
disk space. Since this will fit on a single 2400 foot tape only in
BRU at 1600 bpi, it is being distributed as such. To simplify
distribution and production, the tape is a single BRU container file
followed (for the LUG distribution only) by several extra files.
Directory [300,1] contains the files documenting the contents of
the tape. The following files are present:
RSX87BTPE.DOC contains an abstract of the contents of the tape by UIC.
ALLREADME.87B contains a concatenated list of all the README files on
the tape.
RSX87BDIR.LIS contains a directory of all the files on the tape (BRU
does not produce nice directories). This is a brief listing with
UICs and filenames only for space reasons.
SUBMIT.DOC contains guidelines for submissions to the RSX/IAS Sig Tape
collection. This is MUST reading for everyone who desires to
submit a program to the SIG tape.
BEGIN87B.DOC has a copy of this text.
UICSET87B.CMD contains the UFD commands to create all the needed UIC's
on a device whose name is asked for in the command file. Edit it
to match your needs before using BRU to extract the tape contents.
A word of caution: under at least some circumstances, 11M V4.0
BRU's /UFD switch creates directories even when it doesn't put
anything in them.
If your disk is smaller than an RM03, you may want to exclude some
files from the copy in order to have a backup set that fits on a
smaller disk. Copy these off in separate passes. If you copy
directory [356,40] separately, it contains some 31954 blocks. The
rest of the tape contains 25965 blocks (plus last minute slop in
both cases). These should fit on an RK07 easily. Two tape passes
can then get everything.

Mandelbrot Set Explorer for DEC PRO 3XX
Dear DECUS Member,
This diskette contains five tasks.APFEL1 ... APFEL4 are for
experimental purposes only.In APFELM all functions tried up to
now are included.
The tasks and all subroutines needed are written in FORTRAN_77.
They work well with P/OS V2.0A,later releases are supposed to
function too.All sources are included.
To start any of the tasks you must first install the CORE graphic
cluster-library and,if you intend to use the playback facility,
install the file-read-task (CGLGRT).All preliminary action needed
you can find in the indirect command-file APFELMRUN.CMD.
A typical set of start-parameters for the task APFELM is
X = -2.0
Y = -2.0
Window = 5.0
Iterations = 50
Resolution = 5
When you use the Graphic-Microscope the cursor position is the
origin of a new picture.You can change the origin with the four
Cursor-Keys and select a specific origin with the Select-Key.
To continue with a new frame you have to press the Resume-Key.
When you intent to save a picture on disk be sure to have enough
space.The disk-space used for GIDIS-Metafiles is enormous.
Aachen,December 1985

Revision A:
Points in the Mandelbrot set often (always?) enter cycles of values
and thus do not exceed a norm of 2. The program in the directory
[APFEL] attempts to detect these cycles and terminate computation
early. The result can be a great increase in the speed of evaluating
points in the Mandelbrot set (especially with iteration counts in
the few-thousand range). The original files are in directory [APFELO]
on the disk. Cycle detection is not perfect as only a few numbers
are saved, but it works to speed up some test plots. Routine
CHAOS4.FTN is the major site of modifications. The analysis is due
to some folks who used it in an Amiga-based Mandelbrot explorer; I
only tried it here.

Bible...
This directory contains the complete text of the King James Version
of the Bible (less the Apocrypha) plus some indexing. Unlike previous
Bible texts, this one is upper and lower case. Much easier to read.
It came from PC-SIG. It's offered in the hope it'll be of some
use.

This collection of software adds two features to DEC's FMS-11
forms software (versions 2.0 and 2.1), namely, run-time video
attribute control and read-with-timeout for single character
option fields.
Files in this distribution:
FDVTIO.SLP -- code modifications to be applied to
the FDVTIO.MAC source distributed with
the form driver package. Use SLP to
apply these changes.
FMVID.MAC -- routine to modify video attributes
FRVID.MAC -- routine to retrieve video attributes
FSTMO.MAC -- routine to set the timeout period
FSDEFC.MAC -- routine to set default input character
for response after timeout
DECUS.TEX -- draft version of paper submitted to
the Fall '87 DECUS Proceedings in
LaTeX format
A sample FORTRAN code sequence for these routines:
call fmvid (impure, 'FIELDA', 12) ! set video attribute of field
! FIELDA to bold & blinking
call fsdefc ('1') ! set default character to '1'
call fstmo (10) ! set time out to 10 sec
call fget (Iopt, term, 'DSPOPT') ! read option field
c .. Waiting for response or timeout. When we fall through, test value.
if (Iopt .eq. '0') then
c ........... code for Iopt = '0'
else if (Iopt .eq. '1') then
c ........... code for Iopt = '1'
else if (Iopt .eq. '2') then
c ........... code for Iopt = '2'

This kit contains assorted utilities which have been written at Sira, extracted
from SIG tapes, or obtained from the DECUS program library (in the last two
cases, with local bug-fixes and enhancements). Some of it will reach the main

Modified version of the multi-column file listing utility which appears on
various DECUS tapes. This version has enhanced wildcard handling, line
numbering, and other extra features. It needs WLDCRD and ENTAB modules from
[SIRA.WLDCRD] on this kit, and PIPUTL.OLB from an RSX distribution kit [1,24].
The build command files assume these are all on the same disk (LL:) in directory
[1,24].
Assemble LISTRS as:
$ MAC/RSX LISTRS
Make the following device assignments:
$ ASS ddn: TK: ! task device, e.g. SYS$SYSROOT:
$ ASS ddn: MP: ! map device, e.g. NL:
$ ASS ddn: LL: ! disk containing WLDCRD.OBJ etc., in [1,24]
Then task-build using one of:
$ MCR TKB @LISTBLD ! RSX/VMS no FCS resident library
$ MCR TKB @LISRESBLD ! RSX/VMS non-supervisor FCSRES
$ MCR TKB @LISFSLBLD ! RSX-11M-PLUS, sup mode FCSRES
$ MCR TKB @LISDEBBLD ! Build with ODT, for debugging
You may want to edit the build file to change default filetypes, or directories
for WLDCRD.OBJ etc..
LISTRS.RNO Runoff source for above, assumes VAX/VMS Digital Standard
Runoff, but easily edited (remove conditionals). For VMS
version of manual, do RUNOFF/VAR=VMS. For RSX version, do
RUNOFF/VAR=RSX.
LISTRS.RNH Runoff source of HELP text, for DSR. RUNOFF/VAR="RSX,HELP" or
/VAR="VMS,HELP". With no HELP variant, produces a 2-page
"pocket reference guide".

README.1ST Florida Atlantic University Contributions DECUS Fall 1987
Here are contributions from Florida Atlantic University Digital Signal
Laboratory. The contributions consist of four command files as described
below.
INUSE.CMD This is a VERY handy command procedure which locks your
terminal for up to ten minutes (up to 99 minutes for
privileged users). This allows a user to leave their
terminal logged in while its unattended. It supports
VT100 or higher class terminals as well as VT52s
(don't laugh, we've got a bunch of VT52 emulators still!)
Because of the nature of the beast, I choose not to
support Hardcopy terminals (try it and see why!).
It expects RSX-11M+ V3.0 or above (should work with V2.1)
I have a version (not this one) which works with RSX11-M
V4.1 but I can't get to the machine right now.
VT200.CMD
TEK4010.CMD These two files work in conjunction with each other.
They allow a user to toggle between VT200 and TEK4010
mode on VT200 series (and up I think) without having
to go into SET-UP on the terminal.
Please note that these file will do nothing unless
the terminal is a vt200 (or greater) series as
defined in the RSX terminal driver database.
ALIAS.CMD This version is rather awkard right now, however it
works rather well. It provides a nice secure way of
a user defining a ALIAS to another system (including
node, username, and password) without having to
continually type it on the screen. The alias is
cleared as soon as the user logs out.
PLEASE READ THE INTERNAL COMMENTS, THERE IS INFORMATION
FOR CONFIGURING THIS FILE TO YOUR NETWORK.
The next version will be better (i.e. Reading the node
name and node description out of file instead of being
imbeaded in the command file itself. This was tested on
RSX-11M+ V3.0 thru V3.0E
Have fun!
As with all FREE Software, I nor Florida Atlantic
Universtiy assume any liabilty for the usefulness
or uselessness of this stuff. You are on your own!

ABSTRACT
Bonner Lab Runoff (RNO)
Bonner Lab Runoff is a text formatter that, when used with your favorite
editor, makes a complete word processor. Its syntax is almost a complete
emulation of DSR (Digital Standard Runoff) and it is very compatible with
previous versions of Runoff. The document and help file for this version
can also be used for DSR. The intent of this program is to support com-
plete scientific word processing to produce publication quality output.
It has been used to produce thesis, progress reports, and scientific pa-
pers here at Rice University.
This version allows complete control of any special printer available via
user definable escape sequences. In addition a macro facility allows
text or sequences of commands to be abbreviated to a single label. If
the printer has the correct features, then variable spacing,subscripting,
superscripting, and equation formatting are possible. By properly defin-
ing escape sequences the user can support different printers in a tran-
sparent fashion. In other words the same input text will print in
identical fashion on different printers with different control codes and
escape sequences.
Table of contents, indexing and sub-indexing are all supported. A
variety of LAYOUT and STYLE commands can completely change the look of
the pages. Table layout is simplified by right justified and 'decimal'
justified tabs. Permanent margins that apply to the page headers are
available. These simplify the setting of header and text margins.
All special characters are redefinable. The user can define new com-
mands, and text macros. By defining commands you can make this program
resemble other text formatters, or other versions of RUNOFF. You may de-
fine numeric symbols to facilitate constructing lists of arbitrary items.
These allow page and section references. A 2 pass option allows forward
references to symbols defined later in the text.
This program runs under VMS-native mode, RSX, IAS, RT11, TSX, P/OS, and
RSTS. It occupies a minimum of 30 to 37 kbytes depending on the operat-
ing system. Complete documentation, help files, and test files are sup-
plied with the program for all operating systems.
Distribution
This distribution contains all files necessary for building RNO for any
supported operating systems. Nearly All file names are 6 characters or
less to acommodate all operating systems. Once you have built the exe-
cutable image, you can use it to generate documentation and help files
for your operating system. The tape contents are:
1. [RUNOFF.DOC] - Documentation
o BUILD.DOC contains instructions for building the program and
documentation.
o RNOBUG.DOC lists bugs that have been fixed.
o CHANGE.DOC lists the latest enhancements.
o RUNOFF.DOC is the full document for VMS native mode version.
This is not distributed on small kits, but is included with
mag tape kits.
o RUNOFF.HLP is the full help file for VMS native mode ver-
sion.
o INTERNALS.DOC is for wizards only.
2. [RUNOFF.RNO] - text sources and command files for building do-
cumentation
3. [RUNOFF.MAC] - source code and command files for building RUN-
OFF.
4. [RUNOFF.VMS] - RUNOFF.EXE is the VMS native mode executable im-
age. All other users must build RNO.
5. [RUNOFF.TST] - *.TST are test files for various RNO features.
*.RNO are prefix files for various printers and terminals.
Changes since last release
1. Fixed problem with equations and tab stops.
2. Added .SET LEVEL command the same as in DSR.
I would like to extend thanks to:
1. Robert Walraven, RT-11 Sig - He provided a new manual, and also
a list of bugs, with suggested changes to fix them.
2. Charles Sandman, Shell Oil Co -His work on the native mode ver-
sion yielded much faster running code. He also developed the
parser, VMS dynamic memory, and VMS 2 pass mode.

[343,116]SCLI - Secure Command Line Interpreter
This UIC contains the sources, build files, documentation, and
some other garbage for the Secure CLI. This CLI, 'owns' terminals
on it's protected list, which are logged out. It implements a
reasonably breakin-proof password scheme.
The sources here have been used successfully on M V4.0, and MPLUS V2.1.
There is no reason that it wouldn't run under more recent versions.
Note that a couple of minor hacks to RSX are required: one to BYE.MAC,
and (for dialup lines only) one to TTMOD.MAC. The documentation should
describe how to do these - the TTDRV we only did once. It's a one-instruction
patch, so we got into just ZAPPING TTDRV. Works fine.
The COR files and other stuff (sorry, I can't put the patched sources in)
for the TTDRV and BYE mods are in the following:

This directory contains
CLUNK DATE and 64-BIT INTEGER routines -
Datatrieve-11 and VMS style date/time (CLUNK DATE) conversion and
manipulation routines. Since the CLUNK DATE is a 64-bit integer, there
are 64-BIT arithmetic routines that go along with these routines.
You can convert from Ascii date/time to CLUNK date/time. You can
determine the difference between two date, you can add them together,
you can determine the day of the week from the CLUNK date/time.
The 64-Bit routines let you add, subtract, multiply or divide 64-bit
integers.
The Pascal routines are written in Oregon Software Pascal-2.

FINGER/RSX system: Network and Local Server Page 1
Author: T. R. Wyant III, E. I. DuPont de Nemours, Richmond,
VA.
Operating System: RSX11M+ V3.0 forward, RSX-11M V4.0 forward
(with restricted functionality)
Language: Fortran-77
Memory Required: 28KW
Other Hardware Required: None
Keywords: RSX-11; Networking
Abstract:
This program is an RSX implimentation of and interface to the
Columbia Finger System (DECUS Library V-SP-14), and provides
similar functionality. In particular, it:
o Identifies current users of the system, when and where
logged in, and so on. The search is on last name,
with support for the wild card characters "*" and "%".
o Finds a specific user and displays the above informa-
tion plus the contents of the user's FINGER.PLN file.
o Serves as an in-bound DECnet server to allow searching
for users on other nodes. Explicit route-through is
supported to allow use in an internet environment.
No command line switches are supported. Switches will be
preserved in a route-through operation, and ignored in a re-
quest to the local node.
The various pieces of FINGER/RSX functionality require
system support as follows:
o The display of FINGER.PLN and last login time requires
multiuser protection;
o The display of current system users and the use of "."
to finger yourself requires accounting (and therefore
RSX-11M+);
o The display of information to or from remote systems
requires DECnet.

This directory contains several tasks and command files that I
have found useful. These come with the standard DECUS grarantee
(ie - if it doesn't work or crashes your system, tough). The
phrase "Will run under" means I have tried it under these
operating systems, and had no problems. The phrase "Should run
under" means I have not tried it, but know of no reason why it
needs to be modified to work under these operating systems.
A couple of bugs in the Spring '84 version have been fixed in
this release - see below for details.

TIZ - Task Image Zapper
Source Language - Fortran-77
Will run under - RSX-11M, RSX-11M+, VAX-11/RSX
Function - Provide formatted dump of task image
label blocks, showing name, partition,
priority, creation date, LUN assign-
ments, and so on. Most of the items
dumped can be modified. This grew out of
a task written to deal with the M+ V2.0
task builder's incorrect common area
access assignment (since patched).
Modified - 16-Mar-84 to correctly determine where
number of LUNs is stored, and to add
support for TKB IDENT keyword.
- Summer 84 so /IP sets the right bit and
doesn't crash your system, and to allow
you to change the name of the resident
library (or common) your task is mapped
to.
- Release 88.020 adds named directory sup-
port, and a more normal exit sequence
(using EXIT and QUIT, with ^Z equivalent
to EXIT).
CALC - Calculator and radix converter.
Source Language - "@" processor.
Will run under - RSX-11M+ V2.0 forward, and M V4.0 forward
Function - Do integer calculations in octal or
decimal, and radix conversion to or from
ASCII (word), RAD-50, or any radix from
2 thru 16. User can create numeric
symbols on the fly to store results for
later use. Note that the calculations
string is interpreted in "@" fashion
(left to right), rather than in
algebraic fashion (* and / before + and
-). Also, trapping errors in the
calculation string requires servicing

Function (cont'd) Type 2 errors with an ONERR directive,
ignoring the manual's contention that
you can't continue after a Type 2 error.
Wierd things may happen in this case,
though it has worked okay, so far.
Modified: - To add the ability to compute an "n" bit
checksum on the input.
BRU - BRU command line builder.
Source Language - "@" processor.
Will run under - RSX-11M+ 2.0 forward
Should run under - RSX-11M V4.0 forward
Function - Construct the required mount commands
and BRU command line to do most of our
BRU runs. Can be invoked interactively
(@BRU), or with parameter passing (@BRU
IN: OU: or @BRU OU:=IN:). Validates
input and output devices, mounts all
unmounted media foreign (under M+ only),
and selects BRU switches depending on
whether the input and output media are
disk or tape, and whether mounted
FILES-11 or foreign. All media mounted
by this command file will be dismounted
when it exits.
This command file will apply the /DEN
switch for MF:, MM:, MS:, and MT: out-
put, using the highest density avail-
able. No density is assumed for input.
This should be readily modifiable to
meet individual site needs.
This command file will also default
initial and maximum index file sizes
for for output disks without file ID
preservation to the INI defaults.
Modified - 16-Mar-84 to correct initialization for
multi-header index files.
- Add the following switches:
/PR to control preservation of
file IDs.
/IM to (partly) support image
disks.
/EX to support file exclusion.
Add elapsed time calculations
Add ability to CON the output device
ONLINE if needed (M+).

[352,4]README.1ST - SRD V6.62 - Last minute fixes (before fall '87 Decus)
The SRD V6.62 modifications are:
o Use FEAT$ to test for decimal version number support.
o Use FEAT$ to test for named directory support.
o Fixed the bug that sometimes truncated named directory
strings to six characters.
o Show decimal version number and/or named directory support
in the /ID display. If these lines are shown it means
that SRD will work properly, NOT that the system MUST
have that feature enabled.
o Show the taskbuild date and time in the /ID display.
The first two modifications let one SRD.TSK file be freely moved
between systems that may or may not have those features.
A version built to FSCRES (not FCSFSL, of course) on an M+ 4.0a
system seemed to also run properly on an M+ 2.1e system in a
brief test. A version built to M+ 4.0 FCSFSL works on 3.0. Both
files are provided here as: SRDRES.tsk, and SRDFSL.tsk.
As I do not have the earlier files the .C66 files reference, I
have not make updated SLP files. I have left what Arnold sent me,
and have simply layered on top new pieces. Someone with all the
.rno and earlier sources could tidy up and make a nice 'kit'
again.

This UIC contains the files for building SRD V6.61.
The modifications made by Florida Atlantic University since V6.6 are:
o Support for Decimal Version Numbers under RSX-11M-PLUS V3.0 or latter
o Support for Named Directories under RSX-11M-PLUS V3.0 or latter
Please Note: This version has only been tested under RSX-11M-PLUS
V3.0C. P/OS should still work as well as the other
versions (i.e. RSX-11M, IAS, Micro/RSX, etc.).
The modifications made by the SRD Working Group since V6.5 are:
o Modified the sort algorithm for greatly improved performance.
(Thanks to Jim DeMange and Tony Gandy of Systeme Corporation,
Orlando, FL.) The improvement will be noticed most when
listing large directories. Using RSX-11M-PLUS accounting,
we found that to generate a brief sorted listing of a
directory containing about 1300 files, the CPU time went
from 1992 units with V6.5 to 804 with V6.6. (The time
for PIP /BR unsorted listing was 1646. SRD issued 91 QIO's
while PIP issued 1707.)
o Turned off /HD (command line display) when a listing file is
not specified. There is no need to display the command
line when listing files on TI:.
o Corrected a problem where an output filename spec with embedded
blanks resulted in a "Directory not found" error message.
This problem was introduced with the V6.4 modification to
display the original command line, and was fixed by moving
the new code to a different location.
o Rewrote most of SRDTST, making the logic easier to follow,
while fixing a bug which ignored /WI when a '*' was given
in the match template (e.g. AB*D failed to match ABCDE).
The original code worked at the time it was written, when
wildcards were not allowed in file specifications on command
lines, but broke when RSX-11M V4.0 and RSX-11M-PLUS V2.0
permitted embedded wildcards. However this bug was noticed
only recently.
o Modified the help and command files. For P/OS and Micro/RSX
systems, SRD is now built non-overlayed by default.
The *.C66 files are correction files which have already been applied to
the V6.5 source files. They are provided here for reference purposes
only. The *.MAC files are those for V6.6.
SRD.TSK is a task built with the default switches shown in SRDDEF.HLP;1.
It was built for RSX-11M V4.0/V4.1 with dynamic checkpoint allocation.
SRDMOD.DOC describes the past changes to this version of SRD.
SRDREF. is the text for a two-page SRD Reference Guide showing the
available switches. Please send us any ideas you have for improving
its organization and content. We will be updating it for each new
version. HELP SRD GUIDE will display an on-line version of SRDREF.
EXAMPLE.GEN shows an example of generating this version of SRD.
Procedure: @SRD ! Asks configuration questions and
! builds SRD
Copy SRD.HLP and SRDDEF.HLP to [1,2] and refer to SRD.HLP
in [1,2]MCR.HLP.
HELP SRD NOTES will display various things you should know.
HELP SRD NEW will show users a list of recent new switches.
The changes to the selection/listing overlay segment and the root
segment result in a decrease of 140. words (when built without FCSRES).
The largest directory section which can be handled at one time remains
at approximately 110 blocks. Each block contains up to 32 file entries.
The SRD Working Group plans to make additional modifications for future
SIG tapes. Command and help file improvements are planned as well as
program changes. A number of changes on our wish-list are currently
being implemented for the next version.
We would appreciate hearing from those who have made changes or plan to
make changes to this version or other versions, so we can continue to
improve this useful utility. Many thanks to those who have written.
[352,4]README.1ST - END
EDITOR'S NOTE:
If you run P/OS or Micro RSX, try using SRDPOS.CMD instead of
SRD.CMD. That will create runnable tasks. The SRDxxn.MAC
files need to be built as though for RSX11M+ on P/OS V2
and probably micro RSX. The problem is psect ordering
which changes; the internal buffer is sized by some labels
of Psects and their differences; when TKB changes ordering
this can be screwed up. M+ behaves differently from M
so try the modified version or build overlaid which
always seems to work.

Datatrieve SIG submission for RSX
This directory contains mostly PDP-11 Stuff.
QUAD.* is an account of how to read DATATRIEVE Quadword
dates in FORTRAN and other languages. QUADAS.MAC goes with this.
CONSOLE.* is a way to process the RSX consol log file
with DATATRIEVE to pull out various items like batch and
print jobs, logins, etc.
Most of the rest of the stuff has to do with processing
RSX-11M-Plus System Accounting information with DATATRIEVE, and
with some FORTRAN programs (one to rectify the data, the others
are for graphing the data on a PRO-3xx system). This isn't quite
as coordinated as I would like it to be as it contains a number
things developed at various sites at different times, and by the
next symposia may be better organized, but it is useable.
[Spring 1987: I just got a call from someone who wanted to run
this stuff on a VAX (taking the data off on an 11, of
course). I discovered that some of the record definitions
may have to be changed a little, like taking the USAGE COMP
out of COMPUTED BY fields. If I ever get around to doing
this myself I'll put it on this tape; until then, you
must make the changes yourself.]
