Notes on a submission to the RSX SIG tape for Spring 1985 DECUS
Symposium at New Orleans, Louisiana.
*********************************************************************
IMPORTANT: The files in this save set can be used with any version of
RSX11M from V3.2 thru V4.1.
*********************************************************************
The files supplied here represent a FORTRAN callable RSX11M command line
interface package, together with some examples of how to use the
facilities provided by the programs.
The files CSINTF.MAC and CSINTR.MAC are two versions of the basic command
line interface. The principle difference between the two versions is that
CSINTF uses an internal command line buffer, that cannot be accessed by the
user program other than to process commands. The CSINTR version uses an
external command line buffer, and allows the user program to process the
command in conjunction with the RSX11M CSI facility.
The files CSINTFDEF.MAC and .MLB are macro definitions and a macro library
that are used by the interface routines.
The rest of the files contained here are samples of how to set up switch
tables and the other data bases needed between the user program and
the command line interface.
Full documentation on the use of these interface routines will be published
in a forth-coming Multi-Tasker article, as soon as the article is completed.
Full examples will be provided in that article to illustrate how a user
program can use this interface package to create applications that look just
like DEC provided utilities.
Good luck,
