There are two pieces of software for RSX here.

MAP.MAC MAP allows you to examine the mapping information for a file
MAP.DOC or files. The actual mapping information and the optimal mapping
MAP.TSK calculated from the file size. MAP also calculates some other
statistics for the file. It will tell you if a file is placed
contiguously even if it is not marked as contiguous. A "file
traversal length" statistic is given.

MAP is useful for examining the state of fragmentation of your
disc files.

The MAP.TSK image runs under RSX-11M and M-PLUS. The sources
for MAP are provided but make heavy use of XDT's macro and
object library. Unfortunately I cannot release these to the
public domain since they are used in support of proprietry
software products.

SWATCH.MAC This is a software stop watch for timing the execution of a
SWATCH.TSK command line. You use it:

SWATCH command_line

eg SWATCH pip nl:=du:[*,*]

The command_line is spawned to "CLI..." so SWATCH should work
for any CLI (MCR, DCL, user_cli).

When the command_line exits or emits status SWATCH displays the
start time, the end time and, to save your brain, the elapsed
time.

If you have any problems please contact me. I will provide what assistance I
can on a best efforts basis.

P.S. If you are puzzled by the GEN sections in the sources, I have a utility
which goes through and picks these out and executes them. A primitive, but very
useful, form of MAKE.
