New 110939 TCP/IP Package for TSX-PLUS Version: August 1992 Submitted by: Alan Baldwin, Kent State University, Kent, OH Operating System: RT-11 V5.3, TSX-PLUS V6.4 Source Language: C, MACRO-11 Memory Required: 512KB Software Required: None Hardware Required: DEQNA Ethernet controller Keywords: Networking Abstract: The TCP/IP Package for TSX-PLUS provides TCP/IP networking services for multiple users with TSX-PLUS. The package provides client/server programs for TELNET, FTP, and MAIL. A security system allows usernames/passwords and authorizations for each client/server component to be specified for each user. The current implementation uses eight global regions to support multiple client/server programs simultaneously. The number of regions used by each service is TELNET(1), FTP(2), and MAIL(1). The sources for the TCP/IP Package for TSX-PLUS include header, command, C language, and macro files. Included is an executable version of the DECUS C compiler and assembler, assorted header files, and the DECUS C library files which may be used to rebuild the package. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Restrictions: TSX-PLUS V6.3 or later is required, system EMT to kill job. Media (Service Charge Code): Five RX02 Diskettes (LE) Format: RT-11, 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: RT-11 New PC0102 BBL Version: 1.0, August 1992 Submitted by: David Todd, Wesleyan University Operating System: MS-DOS Source Language: TASM Memory Required: 800Bytes Keywords: Bulletin Board Abstract: BBL is an installable software device driver for MS-DOS that displays on the screen, in big block letters, any characters sent to it. It is a memory-resident (800 bytes of memory) program that can be used by any program or utility as an output device, much as CON: might be used for input or output. BBL can be used as a billboard display system for PCs, for example, or for display monitors for classroom demonstrations. Once loaded, BBL is dormant except when it receives a character for writing. It then displays the character in one of three display modes magnified 8-, 16- or 24- fold. BBL does not connect to the interrupt system. BBL supports backspace, carriage return, form-feed, and line-feed characters in the same way as standard console output. BBL also wraps characters to new lines as needed. Commands for absolute cursor positioning and display-mode control are transmitted to BBL via the character stream. Use of BBL does not interfere with and is not affected by other console display use except that the screen may become cluttered with characters from the alternate displays. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Restrictions: MS-DOS V3.1, 4.01, or 5.0 is required. Media (Service Charge Code): One 3.5" HD Diskette (GA) Format: MS-DOS New V00547 USERS Version: 5.0, August 1992 Submitted by: Stuart B. Renes, OneDataPlace, Inc., Plano, TX Operating System: VAX/VMS Source Language: MACRO-32 Memory Required: 200 KB Keywords: Utilities - VMS Abstract: USERS displays information about interactive, subprocess and batch user processes on the local VMS system or VMScluster. The default USERS display consists of the following items: . Title line showing the local nodename, hardware type and current date and time. . The username of the user process. . Terminal name or "disconn" if disconnected or "subproc" if a subprocess or "batch" if batch (or "network" if network and the NETWORK qualifier is used). . Currently executing image (limited to 9 characters). . Current process state (and current processor id in a multiprocessing environment). . Current number of pages of physical memory in use. . Total amount of I/O (direct + buffered). . Total number of open files. . Total number of page faults. . Current process priority. . Total amount of accumulated CPU time in hours:minutes:seconds. . Time (hour:minute) the process was created (or nodename if the CLUSTER or NODE qualifier is used). . Summary line showing the total number of users, memory, files, cpu time (and nodename if the NODE qualifier is used). . USERS has 15 qualifiers that allow you to tailor its display in many useful ways. Once you install USERS, you won't want to be without it. The installation of the USERS utility is handled through the use of the standard VMSINSTAL procedure. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Restrictions: VMS V5.2 or later is required. Sources not included. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New V00548 List Text File Viewer Version: 1.0 Submitted by: Rich Johnson, GTE Government Systems Operating System: VAX/VMS 5.2, 5.4, 5.5 Source Language: C Keywords: File Management Abstract: List is a text file viewer which allows you to display text files and reports in a full-screen interactive environment. List supports four-direction scrolling, 80 and 132 column displays, character string searches, printing of the entire file or part of the file, DCL spawning, and broadcast message trapping. It also offers features geared toward captive users. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Restrictions: VAX/VMS V5.2 or later is required. Sources not included. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VAX/VMS BACKUP New V00549 CalMail Calendar Manager Mail Daemon Version: 1.0 Submitted by: Richard Johnson, GTE Government Systems Operating System: VAX/VMS Source Language: C Software Required: RIS Calendar Manager Keywords: Calendars Abstract: The CalMail Calendar Manager Mail Daemon is a utility which, running as a detached process, notifies users of newly scheduled meetings via electronic mail. The mail message may be sent to a user on the local VAX node, a user on a remote VAX node (via DECNET), or to a personal computer or workstation via a gateway. This saves the user from logging into the VAX system on which Calendar Manager resides just to check if they have been scheduled for any new meetings. CalMail may even notify users who do not even have an account on the VAX system. CalMail requires RIS Calendar Manager (tm) software to be running on your system. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Sources not included. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New V00550 MOTIF Audio CD Player for VMS Version: V1.0-20, June 1992 Author: Gary Boyles, Englewood, CO Submitted by: Digital Equipment Corp, Englewood, CO Operating System: Alpha/VMS, VAX/VMS V5.4-2 & V5.5, Source Language: C Memory Required: 8meg Software Required: C, MOTIF Hardware Required: Workstation with RRD42 Keywords: CDROM Abstract: The CD Player program acts as a MOTIF/X Window control panel for a SCSI CD player (i.e. the RRD42). The program creates a workstation window panel resembling a CD-player, and provides control and playback of audio CD's using the standard RRD42 CD player. Buttons created for the "player" include the following: Eject Stop playing/enable-eject/eject-caddy from player Stop Stop the player from playing & enable-eject Play Start playing CD on current track & disable-eject Pause Pause/resume the CD-player Replay Replay the current selection Shuffle Play random selections Exit Stop playing/enable eject (but don't) /exit program Incr Increment track playing Decr Decrement track playing The program also creates the following scale and slider displays: Current-track playing Track-time display Track-time remaining display Volume control/display Channel-balance control/display The program uses MOTIF toolkit routines to create and manage the display and its widgets. This program was tested with an RRD42 on a VMS workstation running VMS DECW MOTIF V1.0 & VMS V5.4-2 and VMS V5.5. This program has also been tested on a VMS/Alpha workstation. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New VS0151 EZfile Version: June 1992 Submitted by: Mark Peterson, Naval Training Systems Center, San Diego, CA Operating System: VAX/VMS V5.4 Source Language: BASIC-PLUS-2, VAX-BASIC Memory Required: 700KB Software Required: Basic Keywords: Data Base Management Abstract: EZfile is a menu driven database program with the following features: . Input. . Edit. . User defined report formats. . Entry verification through a verification file or through another database. . Record conversion to and from other formats. . Up to sixteen indexed keys. . Up to 99 fields. . Customized screen formats. . Screen dump. . User written triggers . Security for each field. . Dual databases - working and archive. . Linked documents - files logically linked to a database record. The user may create highly customized, individually executable database applications using EZfile as a template. Triggers can be written in BASIC to do anything desired. Highly specialized, frequently used report programs can be written to create very fast reports. A complete U.S. Government Small Purchase System is included in the [.EXAMPLES]subdirectory called SUPPLY. The two manuals, EZFILE and SUPPLY are available in five formats: .DAS Daisywheel .LJ2 Laserjet II .LP0 Line printer .ASC ASCII with form feeds .AA0 Mass-11 document format A BASIC compiler is required to use this program. The security feature uses the compiler to create a security task, ans triggers are normally written in BASIC. EZfile runs under VMS. Though the program was initially developed under RSX, new ODL's would have to be written to port it back to RSX-11M/PLUS. Some VAX only features were used in the supply example, but the EZfile baseline uses code portable to both VMS and RSX. Notes: EZFILE.LJ2, .LP0 or .DAS is documentation. Executable and/or object code is included. Restrictions: VAX-BASIC or BASIC-PLUS-2 is required.
