Item #1 MJCLOK
------
MJCLOK is a Foreground or System job utility that displays
current calendar and time values, and user defined messages, on
a VT100 RT-11 console terminal in a manner transparent to the
Background job. This program demonstrates the feasibility of
routing output to the console from Foreground or System jobs
through Background job completion routines thus avoiding
terminal context switching. MJCLOK has the facility to avoid
conflicts with Background jobs that require full use of the
video display. Version II differs from the original version in
two ways: Terminal flow control commands are used to regulate
communication. A single line display option has been added.
Item #2 TXTWRT
------
TXTWRT is an RT-11 text formatting program written to help
programmers create effective text and graphics displays on
today's "smart" terminals. In addition, full support of the
ANSI standard escape sequence control strings used by Digital
Equipment's video and printing terminals is provided. The
output generated may be directly routed to the terminal, or to
an ASCII stream file, or TXTWRT will create an output file
suitably formatted as either FORTRAN-IV or MACRO-11 source
statements.
