Vevle University of Alabama at Birmingham 244 BHS, THT 79 University Station Birmingham, AL 35294 (205) 934-1973 / 2657 I am very interested in evolution of the programs contained in this submission. Please send me a description of any bugs, fixes and/or enhancements you have made to these programs. In turn, I will give you credit in the source code and in the program documentation for any fixes/enhancements which are used. I'll also you send an updated copy (with your fix/enhancement) of the program. I will also send the most current versions to anybody who sends me a tape and return postage. Location Description ------------- -------------------------------------------------- [...UAB.LIST] -- UPDATED SUBMISSION. A screen lister, written in TPU, which uses the VT2xx keypad like EDT (where aplicable). I am sorry the source code is not included. I wrote the program to learn TPU and although LIST works and I have not encountered any bugs (yet) the source code is not structured and does not have any documentation in it. I plan to clean up the source and submit it in the spring. If you send me a tape or RX01/RX02 floppy with return postage I'll send you the source code as soon as I get it cleaned up. SPRING 1986 - No time to clean up the TPU code. I have made some modifications which make LIST easier to use and use the more commonly used EDT keys. NOTE: VAX TPU comes with the VMS V4.2 update. Therefore, LIST will only work on systems running VMS V4.2 or later. Request to Users: ----------------- I am open to suggestions for functions for any of currently undefined keys on the keypad and for any changes to the layout of the keypad. Please send a letter to the above address. Thank you for your input. [...UAB.RMDEMO] -- UPDATE TO V4.3.3, a dynamic user display program. Has been modified to use the SMG$ routines and has gone to 132 columns rather than 80, and other updates and bug fixes. The HELP screen is now operational. Features broken by the VMS 4.0 update have been fixed (idle times, ect.). NEW FEATURE: Big_Brother will allow you select and delete any process in the display. Is this really useful? Big_Brother will request verification before it will really delete a process. USE CARE! Request to Users: ----------------- I have changed the name of RMDEMO to BIG_BROTHER (BIGBRO) by request from users since RMDEMO is really DEC's RSX monitor program. BIG_BROTHER may not be a suitable name either. I am conducting a poll of users for a NEW name. Please mail me your favorite suggestions for a new name for BIG_BROTHER. I am also open to suggestions for additions/deletions to the current display. Thank you for your continued interest in BIG_BROTHER / WHAT_EVER. (This poll still continues... No ideas received yet but I am watching the mail box. ) [...UAB.GRADE] -- UPDATED SUBMISSION of class grading program which uses the terminal independent screen procedures and the VTxxx line drawing character set. Should be used on a VTxxx terminal. Allows dropping of grades, selectable by the instructor. Calculates scores needed to make A, B, and C. Calculates class overall average as well as class average for each score. Has various types of printouts including some suitable for posting and some suitable for distribution to the student. GRADE will also build a sequential, ASCII file for easy storage and will load from a sequential, ASCII file for easy recall of student information. [...UAB.SMAUG] -- Resubmission. We run this program as a detached process to lower the priority of users using more than their share of the CPU. A user's share of the CPU is calculated as a function of the number of users on the system. SMAUG also allows the exclusion of some programs (we exclude FRODO if it is being run from terminal TXB2, which is our graphics station) and SMAUG will not tamper with users who are already running at elevated priority (>4). SMAUG is written in VAX FORTRAN so modifications should be simple if not trivial. [...UAB.GOLLUM] -- NEW SUBMISSION. We run this program as a detached process to delete any processes which have been idle for longer than 30 minutes. All of the logic is written in FORTRAN so any modifications to make GOLLUM suit your site should be simple to implement. Note: This is not really a new submission. This is just the first time GOLLUM has been added to this program description file.
