The following is a description of what each file in the
submission from B. Z. Lederman is.

ABORT .MAC Allows Abort ASTs to be easily recognized by Fortran
programs. Used by the SPM programs.

DCLCATCH .DOC A copy of the Multi-Tasker article on how to get DCL
to work as a catch-all for MCR. Makes life quite a
bit easier

DCLCATCH .RNO Runoff source for above

GETTIM .MAR Used to determine how long it takes to go a $GETTIM on
a VAX. See SPEED.DOC to find out why.

MSORT1 .DOC A description of tests of Sort-11 V3.0, comparisons
with V2.0, problems noted, performance issues, etc.

MSORT2 .DOC Tables of data showing the performance of Sort-11 V2.0
and V3.0, and how it can be improved by re-building it
with the RMS resident library, non-overlayed, and as
and I-and-D space task.

MSORT3 .DOC Task build and ODL files to build Sort-11 non-overlayed
and/or I-and-D space.

MSORT1 .RNO Runoff source for the above documents.
MSORT2 .RNO
MSORT3 .RNO

QIOERR .CMD Compile and build QIOERR
QIOERR .FTN Translates the QIO error number into a text message using
the file that comes with RSX.
QIOERRBLD.CMD Task build the above program

RPTUTL .DOC How I got the Error Log Report generator (RPT) to run
very much faster by building it non-overlayed I-and-D
space. Also a version which is partially overlayed
for systems which don't support I-and-D space.

RPTUTL .RNO Runoff source for above.

SPEED .DOC This decribes the method used to test the CPU speed of
various machines, how the program (S1D) works, how
accurate it should be, etc. Also describes the preliminary
VAX speed testing program S3V.

SPEED .RNO Runoff source for the above document.

SPMOVL .FTN Reads a CLF file from SPM-11 and lists all of the
overlay reads recorded.
SPMOVLBLD.CMD Builds the above.

SPMRBLD .CMD Builds the SPMREAD program
SPMREAD .CMD Compiles the SPMREAD program.

SPMREAD .FTN This program reads the data collected by SPM-11 and
outputs each record translated into english. All records
are time-stamped, directives are translated into their
normal abbreviations (like GTIM$), I/O to devices are
translated into the device name (DB6:, TT3:, etc.), etc.
Useful for when you want a detailed account of what a
program (or set of programs) is doing over time, rather
than the summary results in the SPM reports. You must first
process the SPM data using the CLF utility (supplied
with SPM).

STB .FTN A simple program to read a symbol table file and list
what is defined there. I use it to find out what lables
are in DEC supplied resident libraries and similar stuff.

S1D .MAC These three programs measure CPU speed for PDP-11 machines.
S2D .MAC Please ready SPEED.DOC for how they work, TIMES.DOC for
S3D .MAC test results to date.

S1D .CMD compiles and builds the speed testing programs
S2D .CMD
S3D .CMD
S1DBLD .CMD
S2DBLD .CMD
S3DBLD .CMD

S3V .MAR A preliminary program to measure CPU speed for VAX machines.
Please read SPEED.DOC before using.

TIMES .DOC Gives some test results I have obtained on PDP-11/70,
PDP-11/84 and PRO-350 processors with the speed testing
programs.
TIMES .RNO Runoff source for the above document.
