Here's a quicky to do this:   $! $! DB_COM_RESEQ.COM  $!E $!   Resequence DBnn files.  Takes a single parameter, which is a two B $!   character string.  Renames all files in the current directoryB $!   of the form DB%%_*.COM to DBnn_*.COm where nn is the sequence! $!   number given as a parameter.  $!
 $!   Example:  $!= $!      $ @DB_COM_RESEQ 33  ! Changes all files to DB33_*.COM  $! $ nn = f$edit( P1, "TRIM" )  $ loop: # $   file = f$search( "DB%%_*.COM" )  $   if file .nes. "" $   then& $     name = f$parse( file,,,"NAME", )L $     newname = "DB''NN'_" + f$extract( 5, f$length( name ), name ) + ".COM"! $     rename/log 'file' 'newname'  $     goto loop 	 $   endif   B This procedure assumes that the only files to be renamed are namedA DBnn_*.COM where nn are any two characters.  It doesn't test for  A the argument being numeric or being 2 characters (it will happily ? change the file names to DB_A_DUMB_MISTAKE_*.COM if called with " the parameter "_A_DUMB_MISTAKE_").  C Note: the line '$ nn = f$edit( P1, "TRIM" )' is a habit of mine, it @ doesn't help much here.  It would only help you if someone typed something like:    	$ @DB_COM_RESEQ " 33"  @ But, that's kind of silly since it offers no protection against:   	$ @DB_COM_RESEQ "3 3"  > If there are a lot of files, and you are concerned about this > procedure going awry (I know _I've_ not tested it very much!),; you might want to backup all the files somewhere so you can & get back to sanity quickly.  A simple:  % 	$ BACKUP DB%%_*.COM; DB_COM.BCK/SAVE   @ Will do this.  Note also that the above procedure may not behave? as you expect if there are multiple versions of the .COM files  > around.  I believe it reverses the version numbers currently, ? making the highest version number the oldest, etc.  These being B .COM files, I consider that reasonable restriction as you probablyB don't want to really maintain multiple versions anyway.  Make sure' to do a PURGE before running the above.      >Thanks in advance.    >  >    Hope this helps!   -Jordan Henderson  jordan@greenapple.com    ------------------------------  % Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 08:41:52 -0800 / From: Terry Marosites <TMarosites@unitedad.com>  Subject: RE: BATCH File RenameM Message-ID: <1137A4A23A51D311B2D600105A1D5213026FDFF9@seantexch.unitedad.com>    ROBERT,   HERE IS A QUICK HACK.   $ TOP:" $ FILE_NAME  = F$SEARCH("''P1'",1)) $ IF FILE_NAME.EQS.""

The wayL the service is intended to function is by kicking off a process that queriesK for the client_socket and operates on a 1/1 client/server basis much like aaJ loginout process would (in order to maintain context with as little serverB code-changes as possible. The basic server was written years ago).  I 1rst try: I wrote a new front end for the server on VMS 7.2 using C wheregL the tcpip service was invoked using the /flags=listen qualifier. This serverK merely awakens as any client references it's port and then get's the clientcL socket from the host and does it's job and returns and exits. It works quiteH nicely and doesn't take much memory to run hundreds of copies as long as@ it's installed/share. Problem with this approach: Once I get theH client_socket from the auxillary listener, I need to set the size of theK socket to accomodate our largest message size (up to 100K bytes), but since.H the socket creation happens before my program gets control, this doesn'tG seem to work very well. I've found that I can force large (100K) socket G sizes using this technique if I know the exact number of bytes expected-= (which I don't) and then use the (***block_all) flag to recv.   I 2nd try: Modified the above service to use /flag=nolisten and tried to doDE the listening myself. This is where I could use some help getting the K service to run. I was under the impression that the only difference betweenoD "listen and nolisten" was that I'd have to do the bind and accept orL listening myself in the process that was invoked when a client accessed thatJ port. This would give me earlier control over the client_socket as well asJ the server socket and probably allow the setsocketopt of send and recv bufF sizes to work as advertised (NOTE: I've tested this all outside of theK "service" world just using fake server and client programs and socket sizesIK <= 128Kb work just fine). Anyway: I can get the server program to run using K /nolisten but I can't seem to get it to execute past the first statement sofK I'm obviously missing some bit of knowlege that doesn't appear to be in anyE( example in the tcpip programming manual.  I 3rd try: Like 1rst try using /listen flag but using two sends , the firstrL one telling how many bytes to expect in the second send. This means that theJ 1rst send or recv is always a fixed size and the 2nd may vary depending onL the transaction and function. It's a kludge but it works after a fashion andK allows me to get away with 1/1 client/server unique contexts, etc. The onlyrG part of this one I'm not sure of is guaranteeing that it'll time out ifgJ nothing is received for some reason thus hanging up the server if a client3 for some reason doesn't complete it's transmission.b  F Help I would appreciate: Anyone that has a good understanding of tcpipK services telling me the exact steps and consequences (doesn't have to be in I any great detail, just the general ideas) behind /flag=(no)listen and the J service coding expectations for both. Any suggestions on an optimum way toH communicate between the java front end using sockets/tcpip that requiresK unique context per server/client pair sans threads and allows maximum sizedlI send and receive buffers. Maybe all I need is the right qualifiers on the G tcpip 5.0n send and recv routines (the flag) or setsocketopts settings.   5      hope this isn't too muddy to understand and tia,s           Mick     --   ------------------------------  # Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 16:56:27 GMTn$ From: mark@NOSPAMtechop.co.uk (Mark)= Subject: How do you find the username of the current process? / Message-ID: <3a1bf94b.28078975@news.force9.net>r   Hi,e  A I need to write some C code which will return the username of the / process it is running under.

It's been more than 15 years.! since I bought my first computer.)  I It's very convenient piece of equipment which makes my work a lot easier.aG Everything I've done with it is work related.  However, by itself, I'veeH never really learned how to make money with my PC until I met this pokerI player from Las Vegas who earns an average of $15,000a month with his PC.3  K But best of all, with his idea, you don't have to know a single thing about / operating a computer to get into this business.u    " SHAREWARE & PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE  G A shareware is a "sample" version of a software.  Individuals who write0G software usually "give away" copies of shareware so potential customersMC can "test drive" the product before they purchase the full version.0  B This "try before you buy" has made the shareware concept extremelyE acceptable, both by the people who design software as well as tens ofo millions of computer owners.  E Public Domain (PD) software are simple programs developed without any G copyright or patent assignment.  Since it is Public Domain, any one can.4 use it without having to pay rights to its designer.     FREE COPIES-  J The Las Vegas man researched some of the best sharewares and Public DomainK software he could locate. He bundled together 7 to 10 of them into a singlen2 floppy disk and started selling them for $20 & up.  I He made several disks containing different varieties of sharewares and PDtJ software.  He sold the disks individually and as a group. He was making so6 much money you'd think he was doing something illegal.  F One day, competition caught on and he needed a twist.  A friend of hisE introduced him to me and I developed a new plan built around the same I product he already has.  Since other people started selling similar diskswH at the same price he was charging, the competition started eating up his! market.  He needed something new.   H What I did was design a gift certificate offering free software. We gaveH certificates to stores, libraries, and mail order houses to give away toJ their customers. The certificates offered a collection of shareware and PDK software - FREE OF CHARGE.  Just pay a minimal shipping and handling fee oftH $8.69.  Since it cost him 69Cents to reproduce each disk, he makes an $8 profit per certificate.s     --
