=============================================================================== Dale E. Coy - Los Alamos National Laboratory =============================================================================== This submission contains three sub-directories: (1) DM$SD - Contains both DM and SD. ========================================= DM Version 7.1A - An extensive revision of the John C. Hayre / Rich Gregory Directory Management package, using SMG$ for windowing, with several new extensions. SD Version 4.2A - A revision of Alan L. Zirkle's Set Default program, entirely executable (no .COM), with user interface improvements. These are both updates of our Fall 86 submission. Function additions include a fully interactive "Tree" display for both DM and SD, and detection of "false" .DIR files. Bug fixes, of course. We consider these to be production programs at this point. (2) WPE Version 2.3 ========================================================= A "complete" and extended implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for editing ASCII files, including some Language Sensitive features for .COM files. Two-window editing, the most useful features of EVE-PLUS, etc. Built on TPU and EVE, so it's inherently extendable. Full help and documentation. A finished version, but added features are promised for the future. DM, SD, and WPE work well together, or separately. (3) COLORS Version 3.1 ====================================================== A package for managing and setting "default" colors for VT-241 terminals. Revision to our Fall 86 submission: improved documentation, and improved capability to detect REGIS terminals from subprocesses. These are production programs. FULL documentation is provided for all of the programs, in .TXT, .WPL (for WPS+), and .LN03 (Very fancy) forms. Memory cartridges are required to print the .LN03 files. Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome. Bug fix requests will also be considered. Submitted by: Dale E. Coy Los Alamos National Laboratory E-8, MS/J957, PO Box 1663 Los Alamos, NM 87545 (505) 667-3270 or -7159 FTS 843-3270 or -7159 =============================================================================== DM$SD =============================================================================== DM (Directory Manager) Version 7.1A This is a revision to the DM (directory management) package which has appeared on previous VAX SIG Symposium tapes. It provides enhancements to the older DM packages. DM displays the files in your current directory (or your directory tree). With one or two keystrokes, you can do most major DCL commands: delete, copy, purge, print, edit, view, rename, etc. The keystrokes are All-in-1-like. Your favorite editor may be used from DM. The SMG$ interface is used for terminal independence and efficiency. VMS Version 4.4 (or above) is required. The FORTRAN compiler is desirable for customization. Extensive improvements have been made since our Fall 86 submission. ============================================================================== SD (Set Default) Version 4.2A This is a major revision to the SD package which has appeared on previous VAX SIG Symposium tapes. It provides enhancements to the older SD packages. SD is a synonym for "Set Default", providing (in addition to less typing) convenient movement between directories, a "stack" of 20 directories, etc. SD is implemented in FORTRAN for speed, and uses the SMG$ screen interface. Extensive (mostly invisible) improvements have been made since our Fall 86 submission. =============================================================================== WPE Editor Version 2.3 (WPS+ for ASCII Files) Including the MORE utility WPE is a full (well, almost) implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for use on ASCII files. Its advantage is that the user who uses WPS+ has essentially the same keyboard interface to WPE. WPE is, in its own right, an extremely powerful text editor. It is layered on TPU and EVE, and is extendable. It's easy to "get started", full on-line help is provided, as well as extensive user documentation. Features include: All of WPS+ that was reasonable (full-function editing). Two-window editing. Multiple files. Bookmarks. Insert and examine special characters. Print files with special characters. Fixup files by removing CR/LF Automatic tailoring for .COM, .HLP, .FOR, and .TPU files. Read-only interface (called MORE). WPE works efficiently with DM (also in this submission). Instructions are provided on how to use WPE as your VMS Mail editor. =============================================================================== VT-241 Color Management Software Version 3.1 PROGRAMS FOR COLOR ON REGIS TERMINALS PURPOSE OF COLORS PROGRAMS: Having a VT-241 (or other color ReGIS terminal) is much more fun if you use color combinations other than Red-Blue-Green. These programs make it easy for the user to control his/her terminal colors. A side- effect is that a user connecting a VT-241 is immediately given a set of pleasant colors. CO - Gets any user some set of colors. OCO - Used if terminal is garbaged - runs Fix_Crt & restores colors. NCO - Gets a new set of random, contrasting colors. CCO - Gets a new set of random, complementary ("artsy") colors. PCO - Lists 64 choices and lets the user pick. XCO - An interactive/visual user chooser. The acronyms (sort of) stand for: COlors, Old COlors, NEW COlors, Complementary COlors, Pick COlors, and (X)change COlors. These programs are lots of fun (if you have a VT-241), and the PCO and XCO programs have a nice user interface implemented in SMG$.
