                    TECO UTILITY FILES


A) "MUN" oriented files:

	1) LIST.TEC lists a file on the LP with page heading and
		form feeds on page breaks.

	FORMAT:		MCR>MUN LIST,filespec

		where "filespec" is the file to be listed. The
		specification can contain wildcards in any field
		but device. LIST tells the user how many pages
		are output for each file.

	EXAMPLE:	MCR>MUN LIST,*.CMD;*



	2) UPCASE.TEC converts a file from lower to uppercase.

	FORMAT:		MCR>MUN UPCASE,filespec

		where "filespec" is the file to be converted.
		UPCASE does NOT use TECO's ^X-type conversion.

	EXAMPLE:	MUN UPCASE,[20,20]TEXT



	3) READ.TEC reads a file and counts the records.

	FORMAT:		MCR>MUN READ,filespec

		where "filespec" is the file to be counted.

	EXAMPLE:	MCR>MUN READ,TEST.DAT




	4) RAD.TEC converts an ASCII character string into
		RAD50 (octal) words.

	FORMAT:		MCR>MUN RAD,asciistring

		where "asciistring" is the string to be converted.
		Note that the string can be of any length.

	EXAMPLE:	MCR>MUN RAD,ABC A DEF$.$



	5) DAR.TEC converts octal words from RAD50 to ASCII
		characters.

	FORMAT:		MCR>MUN DAR,num1[,num2,...,numn]

		where "num1,num2,etc." are the octal word which
		are to be converted into ASCII.

	EXAMPLE:	MCR>MUN DAR,3223,50,14716,126473


	6) CALC.TEC performs the arithmetic operation provided
		using TECO's arithmetic rules (^O means octal
		base, no priority, TECO bit operators) and gives
		the result in decimal and octal.

	FORMAT:		MCR>MUN CALC,operationstring

		where "operationstring" is the expression to be
		evaluated.

	EXAMPLES:	MCR>MUN CALC,^O100
			MCR>MUN CALC,(50-100)/(40+25)
			MCR>MUN CALC,^O^F
			MCR>MUN CALC,^O 100#340^_


	7) LISTTEC.TEC performs as LIST.TEC except that all non-
		significant control charactes (e.g. CR,LF,VT,etc.)
		are converted into ^<character> ala TECO's normal type
		out. LISTTEC should only be used for TECOish files due
		to the slow conversion process.


B) TEC oreiented files:

	1) STATUS.TEC reports on the current status (interpret
		flags, give buffer status and Q register usage).

	FORMAT:		*ei[1,1]status$$

	2) QSINUSE.TEC reports on the use of Q register text
		areas.

	FORMAT:		*ei[1,1]qsinuse$$




			NOTES
	The MUN oriented command files all exit upon completion
		and should not be performed from within TEC or
		MAK. Also, the MUN operations must be done under
		the UIC in which the .TEC file is stored. This is
		because MUN interprets the comma in a UIC string
		as the break between the file and the input
		string.
	The TEC oriented command files don't exit and should only be
		used from within a TEC or MAK.
