=============== [263,001] =================================================
 
This directory contains an update to BRUREAD, a program to read RSX BRU backup
sets under VMS. The modifications were applied to Adrian Weiler's submission
to the U.S. Fall 1989 VAX SIG tape, part 1 (VAX89B1) that appeared in 
directory [.BRUREAD].

=============== [264,001] =================================================
 
This directory contains a number of utilities that were developed years ago.
It varies from assembling, compiling and taskbuilding together with a cleanup,
ringing the terminal bell, conversion of time from hh:mm:ss to s v.v., real to
octal v.v. and showing the greatest multiple devisor of two numbers to a task
that spawns commands to another terminal. Some are modified from publications
in the Multi_Tasker.
Many are still in use. Try them, most programs run also under CP/RSX if
rebuild.

=============== [264,002] =================================================
 
This directory contains a variety of tape routines. It varies from displaying
the ANSI label blocks on a tape, setting up a tape for use, winding to EOV, to
testing for bad blocks.
Try them, maybe they are as useful for you as they were for us. Most of them 
were developed long ago.

=============== [264,003] =================================================
 
This directory contains some copy utilities acquired about ten years ago
while running RSX-11M V3.2.  I haven't used them for a very long time, so I'm
not sure how they perform now.
MCP is a simple tape-to-tape copy program (Piet van Oostrom, May 1979). It can 
be used with 800 or 1600 bpi tapes. If no two drives are available copying can
be performed via an intermediate disk file.
XMT (Piet van Oostrom, September 1977) converts files from various formats to 
other formats, e.g. ASCII to EBCDIC v.v.. It contains swithes for all kinds
of conversions.
 
=============== [264,004] =================================================
 
This directory contains a number of utilities that were developed long ago by
Han Lasance when we were still running RSX-11m V3.2.
They vary from showing active tasks, ringing the terminal bell, retrieving the
number of free and contiguous blocks of a disk, display all devices, task ID,
modify homeblock, etc. Some are still in use. 

=============== [264,005] =================================================
 
This directory contains the files to comprise the batch package for RSX-11M as
developed by Han Lasance many years ago. 
The working of this package was described at sessions given during the DECUS
Holland and Europe symposia in 1989.
BATCH allows for running interactive programs in a batch-like mode under
RSX-11M while making use of the Indirect Commandfile Processor and a special
driver. 
 
=============== [264,006] =================================================
 
This directory contains the Push-button driver for the LK-11 push-button box.
It was developed long ago by Han Lasance when we still running RSX-11M V3.2.
The directory contains the following

=============== [264,007] =================================================
 
This directory contains a driver to read IRIG B time-coded data from a
Systron-Donner Time-code Decoder/Generator through a DR11-K. Maybe that's
why is was given the name RKDRV. It was developed long ago by Han Lasance
and used to run under RSX-11M V3.2.
Recently the driver was modified to be used with the parallel I/O port of
the KXJ11-CA running CoProcessor/RSX.

=============== [264,010] =================================================
 
This directory contains a software package for remote control of the
Honeywell 101 instrumentation recorder. It was developed in spring 1982 by
Han Lasance under RSX-11M V3.2 It has not been tested with higher versions.

=============== [264,011] =================================================
 
This directory contains an accounting package for RSX-11M developed by
Han Lansance in spring 1982 under RSX-11M V3.2; it has run under V4.0.
The accounting package logs start and end times per terminal for predefined
projects. A project name must be entered at login to get access to the system.
A service program LOGFIL enables the creation of a new account file, add or 
delete accounts and/or projects, or list accounting data. 
 
=============== [264,013] =================================================
 
This directory contains a number of games I got from a friend just over ten
years ago while we were still running RSX-11M V3.2
Today, some run others don't, maybe they need a VT52.

=============== [264,014] =================================================
 
This directory contains contributions from James Schultz and Tom Wyant for the
Fall 1986 tape (RSX86B) concerning explanations and usage examples of the
Indirect Commandfile Processor. They were brought together in this directory
for ease of use.

=============== [264,015] =================================================
 
This directory contains a number of commandfile procedures that I have found
useful at some time. Many were developed long ago when we were still running
RSX-11M V3.2, a number are still in use today. Some are just demo's for
learning to use IND, others help me with system management. 

=============== [265,001] =================================================
 
	This directory contains the new version MCE V4.24 Commandline Editor
	from Hans Hamakers, ABB Industrie b.v.

=============== [265,002] =================================================
 

	This directory contains some old but usefull tools

	1.	EXA	look at a textfile 1 page at a time

	2.	EXR	EXamine Records

	3.	EXF,EXP,EXT
			Extracts errors out of Listings and MAPs

=============== [266,001] =================================================
 
Search is a utility to search for strings in 1 or more files.
Everything is written in assembler, using FCS.

=============== [300,003] SIG Tape Summary ================================

This directory contains a summary of all RSX SIGtapes submiited
by Jan Belgraver.


=============== [352,110] =================================================
 
          This  directory  contains  RENUM,  a program which will
     renumber a Fortran program so that all statement  labels  in
     each  compilation unit are numbered in ascending order.  The
     program currently generates labels starting  with  label  10
     and  increasing  in  steps  of  10,  but  this can be easily
     changed by modifying the LOOKUP routine.  

=============== [363,001] =================================================
 
This directory contains the Online Pool Analyzer (OPA), a utility to let you
have a snapshot look at your pool.
This is an updated version by Uwe Schmeling, Germany, to be run on
RSX-11M-Plus and P/OS. It also knows about DECnet structures and LAT
terminals.
 
=============== [363,002] =================================================
 
DISASM is based on an old program submitted by  L.H. GERHARDSTEIN
in 1973. It was modified to work with RSX11M+ (V4.1). There are some
enhancements and corrections mainly within module 'disasm.mac'.
The structures of the task-header were brought up-to-date.
 
=============== [363,003] =================================================
 
USE - displays the TOPCPU usage tasks, (vectored) privileged task
  	This was changed to support vectored systems now
  	mapping to external headers is implemented
  	tested with RSX11M+/V4.1

FMX - this is a new utility, which displays all tasks which are
  	mapped to a special common

=============== [364,002] =================================================
 
This directory contains a user written CLI to make an account captive
and also two CLIs that provide a logging for MCR and DCL commands.

It is used in a production environment to give the privileged users a
set of commands that allow them to do whatever is needed to control
the machines and nothing else.
