DECUS No. Title Version Date V00401 UNO Card Game 1.50c, June 1992 V00509 Cessna PC Utilities 1.1, June 1992 VS0146 PACKAGE CCAUK May 1992 11S116 Symposium Tape from the RSX SIG, Fall 1991, Anaheim December 1991 GENERAL INFORMATION The following status reports are to be considered addendums to the 1991/1992 catalog: 29 April 1991, 24 May 1991, 20 June 1991, 28 June 1991, 22 July 1991, 16 August 1991, 24 October 1991, 12 November 1991, 02 December 1991, 10 January 1992, 31 January 1992, 12 February 1992, 17 March 1992, 13 April 1992, 12 May 1992, 2 July 1992, 4 August 1992. Revision V00401 UNO Card Game Version: 1.50c, June 1992 Submitted by: Garry P. Spencer, State Technical Institute at Memphis, Memphis, TN Operating System: VAX/VMS Source Language: VAX BASIC Hardware Required: VT52/VT100/VT320 terminal Keywords: Games Abstract: This program plays the popular card game UNO. Standard 2-player rules are used in this game. The only major requirement is an ANSI (VT100/VT320) compatible terminal. Also included on this tape are STARTREK, MAZE, PUZZLE, REPEL, PONG and CALENDAR. Some of these require VT52 terminal compatibility. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Changes and Improvements: The programs now support VT320 terminals (by changing them to VT100/VT52 mode and restoring VT320 mode when the program halts). Sources not included. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VAX/ANSI Revision V00509 Cessna PC Utilities Version: 1.1, June 1992 Submitted by: Dale D. Lutes, Cessna Aircraft Company, Wichita, KS Operating System: MS-DOS V3.3, V4.0, V5.0, VAX/VMS V5.4, V5.5 Source Language: C, FORTRAN 77, MACRO-32, PASCAL Software Required: VMS PATHWORKS services for DOS Keywords: Mail, Utilities - VMS, PATHWORKS Abstract: This program provides a number of utilities to supplement a PATHWORKS based local area network. Changes to the Cessna PC Utilities package from version 1.0 includes a fix to PC_LOGOFF for PATHWORKS V4.0 and up, a new utility, PC_CHECKMAIL, and revised documentation for PC_LOGOFF and PC_CHECKPASS. PC_LOGOFF This program and batch file combination allows users to log off of the PC server without having to perform a STOPNET or reboot. PC_LOGOFF disconnects all unnecessary disk and file services, and removes any references to them from the DOS path. PC_CHECKPASS This program is used to warn PC users via MAIL when their password is about to expire. It eliminates the need to expire all PC passwords at the same time and notify all users at the same time. PC_CHECKMAIL This program is used to inform PC users whenever they have new mail messages. The users receive notification without having to specify a node name in their mail profile. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. PC_LOGOFF was compiled and linked with Microsoft FORTRAN V4.1. Changes and Improvements: Fix to PC-LOGOFF for PATHWORKS V4.0 and up, new utility, PC-CHECKMAIL and revised documentation. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New VS0146 PACKAGE CCAUK Version: May 1992 Submitted by: Chris Sharman, CCA Stationary, Fulwood Preston, Lanes/UK Operating System: VAX/VMS Source Language: MACRO-32 PASCAL Keywords: PASCAL, Utilities - VMS Abstract: This is a collection of miscellaneous VMS utilities. The following is a brief summary of highlights. [.MISC] ALTYPAHD - Needs CMKRNL. Removes the normal size typehead buffer, and sets the ALTYPAHD bit. There is no other way to set it on interactive LAT ports. ENTER, ENTERMSG - enter given file id in directory. LATDEF - useful only on VMS V5.4. NEWMAILDIR - lists new mail messages for all users (also does some site-specific processing). SAF.COM - useful command file from the pageswapper. SPOOLQUEUE - there is no SPOOL_QUEUE_NAME item for SYS$GETDVI or F$GETDVI, this is a substitute. TAPE_EXPIRY - this gets the expiry date etc from a tape. ZEROERRCNT - this clears the specified error counters. SPLIT - Count bucket splits, version of the one in VAX professional. PEEK - read a locked sequential file (ie log file) - requires SYSPRV or READALL. This module generates warnings and informational diagnostic at compile time, and reports the compile time warnings at link time. DOMSG - decodes object files to generate include files for a multitude of languages. It is intended to take compiled message files as input. IFDL.TPU - prettify IFDL (DECforms) files after the panel editor has been at them, and to change included files back to include statements. DOMSG contains some frigs to make the IFDL produced compatible with this. CMS_CHANGE.TXT - notes on how to modify the command module in CMS. TWEAK - record attribute tweaker, only for the knowledgeable. CREGRPLNT - create group logical name table - useful at boot time. Requires CMKRNL, should relink for each release of VMS. SETUSER - sets username, account, LNM$JOB owner, LNM$GROUP, various other logicals. Requires CMKRNL. Must relink with each release of VMS. SHOW_PAGFIL - shows page files and all processes using them. Relink for each version of VMS. DEINS_PAGE_IF - deinstall page file if either no-one using it, or just current process, otherwise show users. [.PAPER_MAILSHR] Paper mail protocol for converting email to paper memo. [.VTBOOK] Bookreader program for VT terminals. [.NIGHTWATCHMAN] Program to answer questions from overnight backups. [.PASVAX] A VAX Pascal formatter. Many minor fixes to PASVAX for the new V4 syntax - new style structured record constants, better line breaks in structured constants, another attempt to make %include work better. D & Q format exponential numbers. Also help a file (.RNH - feed through RUNOFF, then insert in help library). [.TPMAT] A Turbo Pascal formatter (written in VAX Pascal). [.PASCAL] Pascal environment sources for various RTLs - not complete. Restrictions: VAX/VMS V5 or later is required. Documentation may or may not be on magnetic media. Complete sources may or may not be included.

Everhart, Ph.D. Operating System: RSX-11D, RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS Source Language: C, MACRO-11, FORTRAN IV-PLUS Abstract: Symposium Tape from the RSX SIG, Fall 1991, Anaheim consists of the following: [301050] TPC - Tape - Disk - Tape copier update. Fixes register save bug in BIGTPC. Submitted by Alan Frisbie. [301200] BRUSHELL.FOR is a Fortran shell for the DECUS program BRUREAD. This is a Fortran program for VAX/VMS 4.6 or later which system services to manage BRUREAD. It may be installed and used through the system DCL tables or a user may do a SET COMMAND and DCL tables or a user may do a SET COMMAND and use it from a local directory. Program BRUSHELL should be referred for configura- tion parameters. The tape drive is set to _MTA0: and should be set according to individual requirements. INSTALL_BRUSHELL.COM is an installation command file. BRUSHELL.CLD is a command Line Definition file. Patch the image statement as required. BRUSHELL.OBJ is VAX/VMS Fortran 4.4 object. BRUSHELL.EXE is VAX/VMS 4.6 executable from Bruce Prendergast. [314100] DIR.CMD is a command file to give the user much more information about the contents of a directiory file than can be obtained with most other programs such as PIP or DIR. SDF (SHOW DISK FRAGMENTATION) is a macro program to give the user information about the fragments on a disk. The output can be directed to a file for storage for those people who want to keep records of such things. This program will not work for the very large new disks such as the RA90. [351144] This is a reissue and update of the SIG Tape Road Map by Annamaria Szentgali of DECUS MUNCHEN, updated by Jan H. Belgraver of DECUS Holland. It includes all known RSX tapes (both Europe and US), plus Pascal SIG and selected IAS and RT SIG tapes. [351145] This directory contains four papers - Favorite RSX problems (DA115), RSX Indirect Command Processor (as AT INTRO and AT_ADV), RMS utilities for Non-RMS RSX users (DA120), Session A practical introduction to RMS (DA120). [351146] CRPADD: Cryptic Addition - V91.340 is a program which solves cryptic addition problems by a brute-force depth-first search. In its current incarnation it will handle problems of up to ten addends of up to sixty digits each. The user is prompted for number of addends, verification (useful for large problems) whether or not all solutions are desired, and whether a trace of the logic is desired. Then the actual addends and sum are requested (with a verify pass if desired). Input is case_sensitive. [351147] BRUREAD, a BRU tape reader for VMS. Submitted by Tom Wyant.
