Sibley Work Phone: (713) 280-6426 2627 Plymouth Rock Dr. JSC VAX Lab: (713) 483-5353 Webster, TX 77598 Date: 03-Jun-84 (These files replace the previous DECUS tape files from Ford Aerospace SISO (Houston) submitted for the 1982 Fall DECUS VAX/VMS SIG tape. Hundreds of files have been improved & dozens have been added.) This directory contains 4 top-level directories joined together to form one directory submitted by Ford Aerospace, SISD-Houston. For convenience, the 4 directories should be renamed back to the top level: $ RENAME []*.DIR [000000] <-- Rename directories to top level. The four directory trees are: [.NASALIB...] This set of directories contains FORTRAN and FLECS ("FORTRAN Language with Extended Control Structures") source & object code to support programs stored in the [UTIL] directory tree. These files are not needed unless the source will be re-linked or the library routines will be of general use. Both FORTRAN-77 & VAX-11 FORTRAN versions of the programs are provided. [.SYSMAN...] This directory tree contains software to aid VAX/VMS system management. [.SYSNEWS...] This directory is needed to support the "SYSNEWS" facility checked by command files in the [UTIL.FORDUTIL.NEWS] directory. System-oriented news would be MAILed to username SYSNEWS. Non-operator users would run the "SYSNEWS" command to read a copy of the [SYSNEWS] mail file, without any worries of updating it. The well-known MAIL utility is thus used to organize announcements of system events and to allow users to "REPLY" to whichever system person MAILed a particular system announcement. [.UTIL...] This set of directories contains FORTRAN and FLECS ("FORTRAN Language Page 2 with Extended Control Structures") source & object code for a number of generic utility programs, including the EE Text Editor (ver 3.1) & the INFO Information Formatter program (ver 2.1). Also included are many DCL command files and several documentation files. Each directory has a "WHERE." file which may be searched for information local to the directory. ========> [VAX84B.KERMIT]AAAREADME.TXT;4 <======== submitted by: Columbia University Center for Computing Activities and Stevens Institute and University of Toledo KERMIT is a package for setting up communications between a wide variety of micro, mini and mainframe computers. See AAAREADME.DOC and 00README.TXT for more information. (Also the June and July 1984 issues of Byte.) ========> [VAX84B.KMSKIT]AAAREADME.TXT;3 <======== VAX KMSKIT V3.6 Included in this submission are four subdirectories. [KMSKIT.CDD] - CDD backup set containing required DTR32 definitions for using DTR32 on VT240s and a few other things. [KMSKIT.SYSMGR] - Useful command procedures for controling the system and making life generally easier for all. Updates to last release. A very powerful improved set of procedures for establishing an operator account. Procedure for implementing dual passwords for dial-in users. Procedure for setting up a terminal as the right type at login (even if VMS does not yet support it). [KMSKIT.SYSUTL] - Useful things. a) VAX CALC update which has online help. b) Improved auto-logoff facility, c) SETMODEM to enable DMF lines 0 and 1 to be used with 4 wire cables. d) An improved (albeit slightly considering the work which originally went into it) version of AVATU. e) TEKGRAPH, A program which creates graphs on VT125's,4014's and VT24x terminals. f) A modified version of TVG which knows about our 4014 terminals (/DEV=VT1) and our VT240 terminals. This is probably not R. Grandle's current version, but it is used by VPW. [KMSKIT.TVG] - TVG as adapted for VT240s. Not, however, the "official" version. That should be elsewhere on this tape. [KMSKIT.VAXSUBS] - Migrating from RSX to VAX the easy way. Bugfixes to last release. Not many, but some. New support for SEND and RECEIVE directives. Please, if you are interested in this area and have written any mapping subroutines, please send them on to me. I would like to establish a collection of them for DECUS. [KMSKIT.VPW] - V3.0 of the VAX Professional Workstation. Not quite ALL-IN-ONE, but close, very close, (and getting closer) and Oh, so much cheaper !! Included with this release is a) Graph_Master, an interactive procedure for graphics (graphs, slides, etc). Graphs may be generated either with DECgraph, TEKgraph, or DTR (on VT125's or VT24x's) b) Support for VT240 graphics. c) A new version of NOTEBOOK which which can edit (like a spread sheet calculator) our type 1 X-Y graphics data files (used by TEKgraph). More flexible command line interface, handling of VT240 terminals, etc. d) Procedures support VT2xx terminals. Page 2 e) Procedures support FULL editing windows (with a window banner that stays and stays and stays.....). f) A new version of EDT (VPWEDIT)which supports WINDOWS (again with a full editing screen and a banner that stays....) and a clipboard and INSTANT system level help from within the editing session. Note, this requires you to have EDT V3.0 (which by the time you get this tape you should have). g) A version of EDT to use for browsing files. h) Some goodies (c/o DEC )showing how DEC uses the XLATE interface to EDT V3.0. Please, note that the procedures, programs etc, may assume site dependent information not applicable to all sites. Command procedures may have to be modified to work to reflect the correct location of files. Some command procedures assume the existance of certain files or executable images (generally, but not always, available from DECUS tapes). I appologize for not having something which goes in as easy as a VMS Update kit. As always, complaints, suggestions, or praise (preferably the latter) may be directed to: James G.
