ICE - Interactive Character Editor (V2 - For VT-100 in VT-52 mode)

A Practical Display/Keypad Editor for small RSX-11M systems.

Files:
ICE2BLD.CMD ICE2.MAC ICE2.HLP

This is a stripped down version of the ICE editor. I don't really know
where it originated. My modifications were to get it to run under RSX-11M
V3.2 with the FDX terminal driver. This is a 'lean and mean' editor, it
runs in under 8KW when built with a 4K FCSRES FCS resident library. It
also puts a low load on the CPU, in contrast to KED and TECO/VTEDIT(!!!).
With 5 simultaneous users on an 11/34 (taking only 40K + FCSRES !), no
one noticed much delay. For 'fancy' editing jobs, use TECO.

To build:
>MAC ICE2=ICE2

< Edit ICE2BLD.CMD to suit your needs >

>TKB @ICE2BLD

This version is set up for a VT-100, but it may VERY EASILY be converted
to run on a VT-52. A quick look at the source makes it obvious, since
everything is table driven. As it is, it uses VT-52 mode escape sequences.

TAPEIO.PAT

BRU patch for foreign TM-11 tape controller emulators. May allow you to
use BRU if you haven't been able to before. Article describing the
problem and solution will appear in the Multi-Tasker.

SAMPLE of DECUS C SYSTEM. ** PRELIMINARY **

Files: CSYSTEM.DOC CC.DOC CC.TSK AS.TSK CLIB.OLB STDIO.H

This is a sample of the DECUS C system, designed to whet your appetite.
It is NOT the official release. It may contain bugs not in the official
release! The official release may be obtained from the Structured
Languages SIG C tape, or from the DECUS library.

The tasks were built for a mapped system, GEN partition, no FCSRES. They
use no EIS instructions. The library is the no EIS version. The manual
files provided are NOT the latest.

Get the hint??? If you are at all interested after looking this over,
get the full SOURCE distribution from the Structured Languages SIG or
the DECUS library!
