Operating System: RT-11 V5.02  Source Language: MACRO-11, NBS PASCAL
Software Required: NBS PASCAL required to recompile some programs if
customization is needed.  Keywords: Device Handlers, Spell, Text
Formatting, Utilities - RT-11

Abstract: This is a potpourri of programs written for RT-11 V5.1 or
later (except where noted) on a PRO.  The following have
been provided:

PL  A pipeline handler which functions in much
  the same way as MQ: except that no special
  .LOOKUP requests are needed.
CI  A console interface which allows one job to
  'type' input to another.
MENU  A suite of rather crude menu control
  subroutines.
TYPO  A typographical error checker written in NBS
  PASCAL.
MORE  A file perusal utility written in NBS
  PASCAL.
OTHER  A program which determines which drive (0 or
  1) RT is booted from and assigns logical
  names to it (SYS) and the other drive (DK
  and DSK).
WP  A program utilizing all the above to allow
  the creation of a cheap but effective text
  formatting system using KED and RUNOFF (you
  have to provide your own KED and RUNOFF).
DZCOPY  Program to make a sector by sector image of
  a foreign disk by using the DZ controller
  hardware.  Has been used to read IBM
  format 5.25 inch disks.
XHANDL  An alternative overlay handler which can
  force large root segments and large overlay
  tables into extended memory.  Moved code to
  allow for .module code.
PRTSCR  A screen dump utility.  It can be customized
  for non-Digital Equipment Corporation
  printers, requires less low memory than the
  SPOOL utility, and can dump in text or
  graphics mode, but requires V5.02.

Note that some programs may require a little experience with
RT and MACRO to customize, but should be fairly easy to put
together.

Changes and Improvements: Bug fix to XHANDL.

Media (Service Charge Code): One RX50 Diskette (JA)  Format: RT-11
