This UIC contains one super program, a few useful or interesting command
files and TECO macros, and a couple of simple programs in Pascal (Swedish
compiler from DECUS) and "C" (also from DECUS).

DSUTIL:
Data Set Utility which allows a priveleged user to dynamically examine
data from devices or files on a block-by-block basis. DSUTIL allows the user
with a VT100 to display the data in various formats: octal word, octal byte,
hexadecimal word, RADIX 50, ASCII, or EBCDIC. Logical or virtual blocks can be
accessed randomly or sequentially. Access can be by device and block number or
by file name. DSUTIL also displays UFD's. Display mode can be changed from one
to another without re-reading the block.
Included is the macro source files, a TKB file, and a .DOC file
further describing the use of the program.


WHATS:
macro program that, when RUN, clears a VT100 screen and then displays
the octal value of any key you strike, including control sequences. Use
CNTL/Z to exit.


TABLEGEN.TEC and MACTOCCL.TEC:
These TECO macros may be used in conjunction with Jim Downward's CCL
to convert a .CCL file to MACRO-11 format for inclusion in the CCL task, or,
in reverse, to convert the MACRO-11 form of the table back to CCL form.
See TABLEGEN.DOC.

REMINDER SYSTEM:
Three indirect command files -- ENTER.CMD, REMIND.CMD, and WEEK.CMD --
are used to create reminders. ENTER enters a reminder into the list; REMIND
will type out the reminders for any day of the week. WEEK lists the reminders
for an entire week, starting from today.
You must have the TYPE utility from the SIG tapes, which accepts
wildcard file names, for this to work properly. Or, I believe, RSX-11M Version
4.0 and RSX-11M PLUS Version 2.0, PIP will also allow wildcards. We're still
on RSX-11M V3.2.
The command files also use a small program called PREDAY.C which
calculates the date a given number of days before or after today. This is used
only to give a default date of tomorrow for ENTER; comments in ENTER tell how
to function without it. The source for PREDAY is included for those who have
C.

OPLOG:
A CCL command or indirect command file (see comments in OPERLOG.CCL)
that allow users to quickly make an entry in a system OPERLOG file regarding
problems, etc., on the system. Uses EDT V2 and an EDT startup file, OPLOG.EDT.


MISCELLANEOUS:
CHECK.PAS balances a checkbook.
WHATDOW.C types out on TI: what day of the week it is.
TASKS.CMD lists active tasks by terminal number.
