                    RSX/IAS SIG Tape Distribution - Fall 1989

                   ===========================================





          This  is  the RSX/IAS SIG Symposium Tape from the Fall 1989 DECUS

     Symposium at Anaheim.  The tape contains  material  submitted  by  the

     user community for the tape at that meeting.  



          The  programs  on this tape are from user submissions.  The DECUS

     staff, the RSX & IAS SIG staffs, and DEC are all in complete ignorance

     of  the  contents of the tapes.  No warranty of any kind is implied in

     the distribution of these tapes.  The programs may or may not be  well

     documented, they may or may not work, they may even crash your system.

     If you have a problem with the  contents  of  the  tape,  contact  the

     author  of  the program.  Do not contact DECUS, DEC, or the RSX or IAS

     SIGs.  



          The  tape  contains  about  1050 files requiring 20,000 blocks of

     disk space.  This will fit on a 2400 foot reel of tape in  BRU  format

     at  1600  BPI,  and  so is being distributed in this way.  To simplify

     distribution and production, the tape is a single BRU  container  file

     followed (for the LUG distribution only) by several extra files.  



          Directory  [300,1] contains the files documenting the contents of

     the tape.  The following files are present:  

     RSX89BTPE.DOC contains an abstract of the contents of the tape by UIC. 

     AAAREADME.89B  contains a concatenated list of all the README files on

        the tape.  

     RSX89BDIR.LIS  contains  a directory of all the files on the tape (BRU

        does not produce nice directories).  This is a brief  listing  with

        UICs and filenames only for space reasons.  

     SUBMIT.DOC contains guidelines for submissions to the RSX/IAS Sig Tape

        collection.  This is MUST  reading  for  everyone  who  desires  to

        submit a program to the SIG tape.  

     BEGIN89B.DOC has a copy of this text.  

     UICSET89B.CMD contains the UFD commands to create all the needed UIC's

        on a device whose name is asked for in the command file.   Edit  it

        to  match your needs before using BRU to extract the tape contents.

        A word of caution:  under at least  some  circumstances,  11M  V4.0

        BRU's  /UFD  switch  creates  directories  even when it doesn't put

        anything in them.

Utilities SEARCH and STRAP
--------------------------

DECUS Europe 1988 Symposium Tape Contribution from:

            Peter Vergeer, INFRANET HOLLAND
            Bachlaan 2
            2253 BA Voorschoten  NL

Both utilities are currently running under RSX11M 4.2D, however
we don't see a reason why they should not run under any RSX11M/M+
system.

SEARCH
------

Search is a utility to search for strings in 1 or more files.
Everything is written in assembler, using FCS.
Just by typing ...SRC you will get a prompt with enough HELP
explanation to tell you everything you want to know about how
to use it.

STRAP
-----

Strap is a utility that removes (almost) all comments from a
Macro-11 Source listing, thus generating a new file with is
considerably smaller.
Assembling this file, rather than the one with comments takes
considerably less time.


HOW TO BUILD THESE UTILITIES
----------------------------

Sources of both programs are supplied and must be 
assembled as follows:


        MAC SEARCH=SEARCH   and
        MAC STRAP=STRAP


Taskbuilding should be done using the supplied buildfiles.

Note that you might have to modify these buildfiles, depending
upon whether or not you use the resident FCS library.

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.

[374,100]README.1ST - Cargill Utility Library for Pascal

The [374,100-120] directories contain sources and test programs for a fairly
complete OREGON (ne' OMSI) PASCAL utility library for RSX-11M/M-PLUS. 
The library contains a large number of procedures, primarily falling 
into three categories:
        1. Procedures to invoke various RSX Directives from Pascal
        2. A pretty complete string handling package for both fixed 
                and variable-length strings. 
        3. Numerous format conversion routines. 

Also included (in [22,114]) is a set of Macro subroutines which manipulate
CLUNK format date/time data. These routines do NOT require Pascal, and are
callable from any RSX language. 

Much of the library has been submitted on previous SIG TAPES. For the Fall, 
1989 SIG Tape submission, there are several new sets of routines. These
have not yet been incorporated into the library, and are being submitted
in their development directories. The submission includes the following
directories:

[374,100] - this file

[374,101] - CLUNK support library. Does *NOT* require Pascal - can be 
                called from Macro, Fortran, or Pascal. Sources, doc,
                test programs. See README.CLU. (was [22,114])
                
[374,102] - sources for the main PASUTL library (was [22,310])
[374,103] - test programs for the modules in [374,102] (was [22,311])
[374,104] - external procedure definitions (include files) for the [374,102]
           procedures (was [22,320])
[374,105] - new procedures from Pete Stadick -  (will go into [374,102])
                Manipulate LAT application ports
                Shared Dynamic regions (PLAS directive support) (was [22,312])
[374,106] - test programs for the [374,105] procedures (will go into [374,103]
                (was [22,313])
[374,107] - external definitions (include files) for the [374,105] procedures
                (will go into [22,320]) (was 22,314])
[374,110] - Pascal DECNET support - development directory containing type
                definitions, utility sources and test programs. Implements
                task-task communications capabilities of DECNET from Pascal.
                (was [22,315])
[374,111] - Pascal Message system - preliminary release of a general intertask
                message system for Pascal. Uses VSDA on local node, DECNET
                to remote nodes.  (was [22,316])

All except the message stuff ([374,111]) are tested and are in use at Cargill.
The message routines are very rough and still under development. 

By the next tape, we should have all this integrated into one set of 
directories, and the message routines should be finished. 

Although written specifically for Oregon Pascal (aka OMSI Pascal), these
routines should be readily adaptable to PASCAL-11 and possibly other 
RSX Pascal implementations as well.

Readme.1st - BRUDIR in Macro

This program will provide a directory listing of a BRU tape. Many of the ideas
in this program were stolen from a FORTRAN program (BRUDIR) written by R. J. D.
Kirkman.  This implementation fixes a couple of problems with named directories
and large numbers of files.  Decimal file version numbers are assumed.

Command line format:

        BRD>outfile=tape[/FU]

To assemble and task build type "@BRD".
