Wycliffe Bible Translators Spring 1982 RSX SIG submission.
This UIC contains several submissions:
1. SPEED
Ever since we lost the lights on our 11/70 (Due to the RDC
panel, we have needed a means of telling "how fast" the computer was
running. SPEED gives this capability by plotting on a CRT a graph
showing the CPU idle time each second. To prepare and run SPEED type:
>@SPEED
>INS SPEED
>RUN SPEED
A graph will be displayed on your terminal. Type almost any key to stop
it (a few control keys won't work).
NOTE!! There is a constant in the program with a label of WAITER. As
distributed, this constant is correct for our 11/70. The constant is
used as a delay factor and should be adjusted so that if SPEED is the
only program on the system, it will print a full 80 characters. If it
prints too much, you will see an exclaimation (!) in the last column.
2. SORT.CMD
This command file will generate a sort specification file for
use with SORT-11. The specification file is generated based on your
answers to questions. The terminology used is consistent with the
SORT-11 manual. There is extensive help available for any question by
pressing the ESC key. Considerable error checking is also done to make
sure that any specification file is syntactically correct. An
abbreviated dialogue is also available that will make a lot of
assumptions for you so you don't have to answer questions dealing with a
lot of SORT-11's obscure features.
3. VT100 manipulation command files.
This is a group of command file that will manipulate the options
on your VT100 when you can't remember which bit of which word to change
and you can't find your VT100 Programmer's Reference Manual. The
command files are:
VT100.CMD Changes VT100 from VT52 emulation back to a real VT100
VT52.CMD Changed VT100 to VT52 emulation mode.
JUMP.CMD Changes VT100 to jump (fast) scroll mode.
SMOOTH.CMD Changes VT100 to smooth (slow) scroll mode.
132.CMD Changes VT100 to 132 column format.
80.CMD Changes VT100 back to 80 column format.
RESET.CMD Sets the VT100 back to the power on switch settings.
