RSX/IAS SIG Tape Distribution - Fall 1990
===========================================
This is the RSX/IAS SIG Symposium Tape from the Fall 1990 DECUS
Symposium at Las Vegas. 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 710 files requiring 13000 blocks of disk
space. This will fit on a 600 foot reel of tape in BRU format at 1600
BPI, and so is being distributed in this way. 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:
RSX90BTPE.DOC contains an abstract of the contents of the tape by UIC.
AAAREADME.90B contains a concatenated list of all the README files on
the tape.
RSX90BDIR.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.
BEGIN90B.DOC has a copy of this text.
UICSET90B.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.

This directory contains an update to BRUREAD, a program to read RSX BRU backup
sets under VMS. The modifications were applied to Adrian Weiler's submission
to the U.S. Fall 1989 VAX SIG tape, part 1 (VAX89B1) that appeared in
directory [.BRUREAD].
Together with these modifications, and with the good SELECT and EXCLUDE
possibilities, the program is a very handy tool for retrieving old data-sets
from RSX BRU-tapes under VMS and it offers a much faster way of exchanging
files via tape between RSX and VMS systems than using ANSI-labeled tapes
prepared with COPY (PIP).
The directory contains the following file:
AAAREADME.TXT Detailed submission documentation
BRU.CLD Set Command BRU
BRU.TXT Short documentation

This directory contains some copy utilities acquired about ten years ago
while running RSX-11M V3.2. I haven't used them for a very long time, so I'm
not sure how they perform now.
MCP is a simple tape-to-tape copy program (Piet van Oostrom, May 1979). It can
be used with 800 or 1600 bpi tapes. If no two drives are available copying can
be performed via an intermediate disk file.
XMT (Piet van Oostrom, September 1977) converts files from various formats to
other formats, e.g. ASCII to EBCDIC v.v.. It contains swithes for all kinds
of conversions.
REWIND (Han Lasance, 1981) rewinds a tape.
RTCOPY (Han Lasance, 1980) converts files from RT-11 format to Files-11. It
was designed to circumvent certain disadvantages of FLX.

This directory contains the files to comprise the batch package for RSX-11M as
developed by Han Lasance many years ago.
The working of this package was described at sessions given during the DECUS
Holland and Europe symposia in 1989.
BATCH allows for running interactive programs in a batch-like mode under
RSX-11M while making use of the Indirect Commandfile Processor and a special
driver.
For more details see BATDUTCH or BATENGL (not complete yet, I'm sorry).
And documentation in the sources.

This submission consists of several files in addition to this README.1ST
file. The first file, RX030.DOC is RUNOFF output of information as submitted to
the RSX Session Notes for Session RX030: Designing Useful Utilities in ICP.
SLIDES.OUT is a copy of the slides presented at the session. The other files
are the indirect command procedures, UIC.CMD and WHO.CMD as discussed at the
session. Another file, named PROJECT.CMD, is a short command procedure which
may be useful for displaying contents of a short file onto the screen of a
VT241, in a manner suited for making slides or transparancies for a
presentation.
These procedures have been very popular with most of our users, and
perhaps, they may be useful for others. If you have any questions or

This directory contains the MCE V4.24 Commandline Editor
from Hans Hamakers, ABB Industrie b.v.
P.O. Box 113, 3000 AC Rotterdam Netherlands.
Version V4.24 has the following new features : (since V4.23)
- <CTRL/P> now "pauses" MCE via a Suspend directive.
To reactivate MCE give the MCR or DCL "RESUME" command.
The idea came from Jim Bostwick, Cargill Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA.
- On a VT4xx terminal it is possible to use <F1>..<F5> as normal
function keys. MCE enables you to define those keys too.
- The detection of HT: terminals ( CP/RSX ) inserted in V4.23
is taken out because CP/RSX has no problems with it.
- The I&D space question in MCEBLD was removed in V4.23 because
I&D space gave some problems with CP/RSX. The problem was not
in MCE but in the INSTALL task of CP/RSX. The question is back
again but I&D space with MCE does not give you much anyway.
- The combination of a build in default for INSERT/OVERSTRIKE
with an MCE Command specifying the same default did result in
staying in the last mode activeted by <CTRL/A>.
This bug is fixed now.
- MCE without multiple CLI support did not display the default
prompt. This bug is fixed now.
- The addition "VT2" and "TDV" to the MCE intro and version
message is deleted.
- MCE.DOC is upgraded to the latest version.

---------------
DECUS Europe 1990 Symposium Tape Contribution from:
Peter Vergeer, INFRANET HOLLAND
This submission is an update to the one submitted to the DECUS Europe 1988
RSX SIG tape. The enhancements are not specified, just take it as it is.
Utility is currently running under RSX11M 4.4, however, we don't see
a reason why it should not run under any RSX11M/M+ system.
SEARCH
------
Search is a utility to search for strings in 1 or more files.
Everything is written in assembler, using FCS.
Just by typing ...SRC you will get a prompt with enough HELP
explanation to tell you everything you want to know about how
to use it.
HOW TO BUILD SEARCH
-------------------
Assembled as follows:
MAC SEARCH=SEARCH
Taskbuild using supplied buildfile.
Note that you might have to modify the buildfile, depending
upon whether or not you use the resident FCS library.

This area contains re-issues of DDT, a symbolic debugger which can
do multiple process debugging or debugging from a second task,
and which does so with a smaller debug kernel than DEC's, and of
RSX FOCAL, an interpretive language with many extensions. Under
RSX11M, on machines with supervisor mode, it can be gotten to
handle interrupts in FOCAL. It is also possible to do weird stuff
with it like dynamically build program code inside a running
FOCAL program and get it executed. These are not new, but it's been
awhile since they appeared and they are still useful. FOCAL is one
of the most compact interpreters for the PDP11. (It also runs very
well, thank you, under VAX/RSX.)

ANAGRM - Anagram dictionary - V90.337 Page 1
Author: T. R. Wyant III, E. I. DuPont de Nemours, Richmond, VA.
Operating Systems: RSX11M/M-PLUS, VMS, Apple PRODOS-8
Language: DEC version in FORTRAN-77
Apple version in Applesoft BASIC
Memory Required: RSX - 14KW
Keywords: RSX-11; VMS; Spell
Abstract:
ANAGRM is an anagram dictionary which will run on a number
of systems. The spelling dictionary came from Chris Doran's (of
Sira Ltd., South Hill, Chislehurst, Kent, BR7 5EH, England)
compilation on the Fall, 1988 RSX SIG tape (thanks, Chris!), but
the lookup algorithm is different. The words are segregated
into files by length, and within files are in anagrammatic
order, and are looked up by a binary search. Performance is
reasonable for this application, though there is quite a bit of
file opening going on.
To use, simply RUN ANAGRM; you will be prompted for the
anagram you wish to decode. All words having the anagram you
entered will be listed, and you will be prompted for another
anagram. The FORTRAN version exits on end-of-file (control/Z in
DEC-land); the BASIC version exits on input of a zero-length
string.
Also included are tools for rebuilding the anagram
dictionary under RSX and VMS.

(mounted foreign) or a file may be copied to another disk or
file, or to another location on the same disk or file. In
the case of file-to-file operations, the attributes of the
input file can be preserved. Because up to 64 blocks are
moved at a time, performance is reasonable. Error recovery
is done by reducing the number of blocks per QIO and retrying
the operation; if a single-block QIO fails, the error is
logged and a block is skipped on both input and output.
LBC can be invoked in any of the standard ways for an RSX
utility. The command interface is DCL-like, and includes
prompts for missing information.
Full default file name support as documented requires the
PRMS$ directive (ie - RSX-11M+ V3.0 or greater). Older M+
systems, or M systems, require more typing but should work
otherwise.
This release includes two minor bug fixes: the highest
logical block number for a disk was calculated incorrectly in
the previous release (88.126), and the call to PRSRMS was
bypassed for 11M. Otherwise, the two are identical.

========> [352110]AAAREADME.TXT;1 <========
This directory contains RENUM, a program which will
renumber a Fortran program so that all statement labels in
each compilation unit are numbered in ascending order. The
program currently generates labels starting with label 10
and increasing in steps of 10, but this can be easily
changed by modifying the LOOKUP routine.
If installed, the program will read the name of the
file which is to be renumbered from the command line. If no
command line is present (e.g., if the task isn't installed,
but was invoked with a RUN command), the user will be
prompted for a filename. An extension of .FTN (or .FOR in
the VMS edition) is assumed if no extention is provided. If
a second filename is provided, it will be used as the output
file name.
Essentially the same program is provided for use on a
VAX/VMS system in the files RENUM.FOR and RENCOM.FOR. The
only changes required to produce the VMS version were to
change the call to GETMCR to a call to LIB$GET_FOREIGN, and
to change the default filename extension to .FOR.
The RENUM program only calls routines which are
provided in the RENUM source file or in the standard system
library, and no overlays are required even with all compiler
error checking enabled, so no special link commands are re-
quired.
To allow a command line to be passed to the program
when run under RSX, the program must be installed with a
prototype command name such as ...REN. At sites using DCL,
the name ...RNM would be preferable, since this wouldn't
conflict with the DCL RENAME command. To do this, an IN-
STALL command such as
INS $RENUM/TASK=...RNM
should be placed in the system startup command file.
To allow a command line to be passed to the program
when run under VMS, the program must be invoked as a foreign
command. To do this, a symbol definition such as
RENUM == "$RENUM"
should be placed in the system login command file.

This directory contains several file utilities and command files:
BRM.HLP is a task which either writes zeroes into all unused blocks of
BRM.MAC an entire disk or writes zeroes into all allocated blocks of a
BRMASM.CMD file to initialize it or prepare it for deletion. (Adapted from
BRMBLD.CMD an early SIG tape.)
DAOFWK.CMD returns, for the current or a specified day, the day of
the week in <EXSTRI>.
DL11W.CMD generates a table of switch settings for a DL11-W Asynchronous
Interface module based on the communications parameters
entered for a series of questions.
ETHERADD.CMD displays the 6-byte Ethernet address corresponding to
a given DECnet address of Area.Node.
LA50.CMD prints a file on a printer attached to a terminal. Printer
width is determined by the file attributes. Other printer
traits can be specified.
OWN.HLP is a task which allows the file owner of a file to be changed to
OWN.MAC any valid UIC. (PIP only allows changing owner to the file's
OWNBLD.CMD directory.)
RSXSYM.CMD returns the address of a given RSX Executive symbol.
UND.HLP is a task which recovers deleted files. (Adapted from an early
UNDBLD.CMD SIG tape.)
VTKEYS.CMD is a template file to assign character strings to VT2xx/3xx
programmable keys.
VT220.CMD is a file to reset most VT220 characteristics to a known state.

This directory contains the Online Pool Analyzer (OPA), a utility to let you
have a snapshot look at your pool.
This is an updated version by Uwe Schmeling, Germany, to be run on
RSX-11M-Plus and P/OS. It also knows about DECnet structures and LAT
terminals.
To build assemble using

DISASM is based on an old program submitted by L.H. GERHARDSTEIN
in 1973. It was modified to work with RSX11M+ (V4.1). There are some
enhancements and corrections mainly within module 'disasm.mac'.
The structures of the task-header were brought up-to-date.
DISASM now knows some more about the internal task structure, i.e.
it recognizes system images and privileged task structures. This
information will be printed by the 'TSGT' or 'PSGT' services.
The DISASM output file will get the same name as the input file
(including the extension), therefore you should not enter the extension
'.tsk' (this would result in an output file with extension '.tsk' --
this should be fixed). Default output extension is '.lst'.
Linking the task will result in some undefined references, which
can be ignored.

This directory contains a user written CLI to make an account captive
and also two CLIs that provide a logging for MCR and DCL commands.
It is used in a production environment to give the privileged users a
set of commands that allow them to do whatever is needed to control
the machines and nothing else.
