HIK11B.VAX The Hitchhiker's Guide To VMS: Episode 11.2 This file features code previously published in the December 1991 issue of VAX Professional magazine. Written by Bruce Ellis as part of his series, "The Hitchhiker's Guide To VMS," the code here comes from Episode 11.2 and was originally printed on page 39 of the VAX Professional December 1991 issue. In Episide 11.2, we learn, "Does Billy manage to become another user? Does he learn how to write a system service? Does he figure out how to get his program to run while the operator is still in another program?" HIK11_1.VAX The Hitchhiker's Guide To VMS: Episode 11.1 This file features Episode 11.1 of Bruce Ellis' "The Hitchhiker's Guide To VMS." It was originally run in the October 1991 issue of VAX Professional magazine on page 38. In this episode we learn, "Where will Billy go for support now that the Doctor is out and Gwen has left? How will he operate again under the domain of Dennis Cutlery? Where will Billy go next into VMS?" The code published with episode 11.1 appears in this file. HIKE10.VAX The Hitchhiker's Guide To VMS: Episode 10 This file features Episode 10 of Bruce Ellis' famed "Hitchiker's Guide To VMS" series. Excerpted from the August 1991 VAX Professional article, "The Hitchhiker's Guide To VMS: Episode 10," by Bruce Ellis, the article can be found on page 36. In it we ask, "Will Billy continue to date the girl? Does the girl have a name? What progress will Billy make with the lottery? How long does it take to deinstall a page file?" TSTRMS.VAX Using The SDA To Examine A Process Do you ever want to know where a process is during processing? Are you interested in what record it's working on? Or the files it has open, or the keys in use during processing? That information is available to the VAX system manager through the SDA. The code here comes from John Claxton's article, "Using The SDA To Examine A Process," which was published in the August 1991 issue of VAX Professional on page 20. HETERO.VAX Computing In A Heterogeneous Environment This file contains code previously published on page 11 of the August 1991 VAX Professional. Originally written as part of E. Loren Buhle, Jr., Ph.D.'s article, "Computing In A Heterogeneous Environment," the code here presents FORTRAN examples of how to determine the type of machine your code is running on and how to make conversions when integers and floating point numbers are stored differently in machines from different vendors. GLOBAL.VAX Who Is Mapped To This Global Section? Several processes can be mapped to the same global section. When the data in the global sections starts becoming corrupted, how can you determine which process is responsible? In fact, how can you even determine which processes are currently mapped to the global section? This program gives that information, and the article, "Who Is Mapped To This Global Section?" by David Gordon, from the August 1991 issue of VAX Professional, page 15, explains how. CODE.VAX MACRO Made Easy: The Introductions This file features code previously published in the August 1991 issue of VAX Professional magazine. Originally published as part of Hunter Goatley's article, "MACRO Made Easy: The Introductions," the code here represents a simple I/O program, dissected to show you step-by-step how to assemble MACRO code. The article can be found on page 25 of the August 1991 VAX Professional.
