** Please note. Support for the KMS enhancements is dying fast. **
** (DEC would refers to this as Catagory Z on the SPD for KMSKIT.) **
** No attempt has EVER been made to implement the V4.1 kit as a package.**
** The SLP files were written to conform to the source files supplied as**
** part of the RSX-11M V4.1 Field test. They may not conform to the **
** source files in the released software. BEWARE-----BEWARE. If the SLP **

** help, find a mirror (preferably larger than the pocket variety) and **
** gaze at it intently. Note the face looking back at you. It is the **

As a note of MINOR encouragement, I have all of KMSKIT working on
V4.1 of RSX11M and the enclosed files are the ones I used. This is
NOT (nor was it intended to be) a rerelease of the entire KMSKIT. If
you want the sources for ARC MAIL, some of the utilities, BATCH, etc
look on earlier SIG tapes. These UIC's contain the new material relating
to bringing up KMSKIT on V4.1 of RSX.
The following UIC's are part of the KMSKIT RSX11M Enhancements
Package Update for V4.1.
[344,1] Documentation files. Command file to create the document
files. You need RUNOFF to do this. Hope you have it.
[344,40] Terminal and disk accounting, privlege allocation,
modifications to HELLO, HELP and BYE, account utilities
and report programs.
Run privlege checking and searching both
LIBUIC, NETUIC and SYSUIC on a RUN $ command.
SET /LIBUIC for RSX11M (just like M-Plus).
Enhancements to ...AT. to implement the /-LI switch.
[344,43] Utilities. Updated versions of GREP and LIST
[344,44] Here is a version of the old RMDEMO which runs on VT100's
which are in ANSI mode. This version is almost half as
small as the new version and supports reploting and
easy exit. In addition, if KMS Accounting is present
and active, it provides a dynamic display of the percent
of total system utilization. This version (less
my mods) was distributed with the field test kit of
RSX11M V3.2 and is distributed here courtesy of the the
RSX group. It runs on a RSX11M V4.1 system.
[344,45] PDQ -- Program Development Queues. PDQ is a multi-
queue command file despooler (using QMG...). Submit
a command file for execution. When a program development
queue becomes free, the command file executes at your TI:
[344,61] CCL V9.0. Submitted by Paul Sorenson. Realy slick.
Paul Sorenson says he is submitting CCL for inclusion on
this UIC. I have fieldtested it and I think you will like
it. Need I say more? CCL is almost too useful to be free.
[344,65] A complete SYSTEM ACCOUNTING package for RSX11M.
While oriented towards providing performance measurement,
it provides the basis for implementing a versitile and
reasonable charge-back accounting system. Some reports
are provided which will do this. Please read SYSLOG.DOC.
Please, create and read the documentation before leaping in and trying to use
the kit!
A discription of all the modifications and enhancements and most of
the utilities is in KMSKIT.DOC. The command file [344,40]KMSGEN.CMD will
provide all required information (or most of it)for building the KMS
Enhancements and a number of the other programs. Read KMSKIT.DOC before
trying to include the executive data base changes. Please note that
it has not been updated since V4.0 and the file REQSB.SLP is no longer
needed. Note also, this is an update kit. Hence all files refered to
in KMSGEN may not bee on this kit.
To use this kit, transfer the files to their respective UIC's. Read all
the documentation over twice. Set /UIC=[344,40] and type @KMSGEN/-MC and run
through a KMSGEN asking for a long dialog. Place the required DEC sources in
the correct places, KMSGEN will try and do all the SLP patches both to MCR
sources, the EXEC modules and the SYSGEN command files. If KMSGEN sucessfully
SLPs the MCR, EXEC and SYSGEN command files, stop, place the OLB's and sources
on your SYSGEN disks and do a SYSGEN if you are incorporating data structures
(accounting) requiring a SYSGEN. Once the SYSGEN is done use KMSGEN again to
create all needed files.
This release kit of KMSKIT is not complete in and of itself. Hence,
some programs if you desire to build them will require getting the
programs from an earlier version of KMSKIT. Where useful programs have
been updated, newer versions have been supplied.
These programs have been extensively tested for the case where all KMS
options are selected and where most DEC sysgen options are selected.
KMSGEN and the command files to implement KMSKIT for the general user have
had almost no testing since I do all patches one at a time checking results
as I go. The first user to try KMSKIT found a bunch of bugs in the command
files. These I tried to fix. But, as we all know, bugs are hard to
completely stamp out. Be warned, be careful, and be alert. Since, I know
the SLP patches once incorporated work, I am sure they can be incorporated
with a bit of perseverence. I appologize in advance for any potential
inconvenience, but current government regulations (let alone my family)
preclude me spending in excess of 24 hours daily at work. I simply do not
have time to do all that I have to do as well as all that I would like to
do.
Good Luck,
