LeVine, Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, CA Operating System: VAX/VMS V5.5 Source Language: MACRO-32, VAX FORTRAN Software Required: MACRO and VAX FORTRAN compilers are required. Keywords: Utilities - Disk - VMS Abstract: The JUICER package of programs and command files is provided to the system manager to allow him to monitor VAX/VMS ODS-2 disks for disk and file fragmentation, disk usage and to do such compression as might be needed. The package is made up of eight parts: . JUICER_1 to do stand alone disk compression. . JUICER_2 NOMOVEFILE to do online disk and file defragmentation while disk is in use by other users. For VMS V5.4 and before as it does not use the movefile QIO function. . JUICER_2 MOVEFILE to do online disk and file defragmentation while disk is in use by other users. For VMS V5.5 and up as it uses the movefile QIO function. . FRAG to monitor disk fragmentation. . FILE to monitor and optionally compress fragmented files. . DIR to make a map of disk directory structure and its file/block usage. . DISK to show by user and account the number of disk blocks in use, authorized and overdraft. . BAD to scan a selected disk for bad blocks and on user authorization, try to repair them. JUICER_1 is an in place disk compression utility for VAX/VMS ODS-2 disks suffering from excessive fragmentation. This program, within limitations, attempts to move portions of files from the high end of the disk to any unused areas (fragments) at the low end, freeing up larger contiguous free areas at the high end. JUICER_2 is an on-line in place disk and file compression utility for VAX/VMS ODS-2 disks suffering from excessive fragmentation. This program runs online while other users are also using the disk. It defragments the most defragmented files it can find that will fit in the largest contiguous free areas on disk, and moves other files as far down toward the low end of the disk as it can, filling up free fragments at the low end and freeing up more space at the high end. It comes in two versions, NOMOVEFILE and MOVEFILE, depending on the version of VMS being used. VMS V5.4 and lower can only use the NOMOVEFILE version. VMS V5.5 and above, which support the QIO MOVEFILE function, should use the MOVEFILE version. FRAG is run on a disk to see how badly the target disk free space is fragmented, giving a histogram of fragmented areas by size, a calculated measure of the disk free space fragmentation and, if wanted, a map of free fragments by starting LBN vs size. FILE scans all the file headers on the target disk and outputs two list files, one containing a list of the 100 files having the most retrieval pointers in use, and the second being a matrix of file size versus number of pointers in use. The command file CONTIG is used which reads one of the list files produced by FILE and running interactively with the user, converts the listed files from fragmented to contiguous. DIR scans a target disk and creates an output file DIRECTORY.MAP containing a graphical output showing the on disk directory structure, with a notation for each directory showing the number of files and blocks contained therein. DISK.COM sets up data for the program DISK.EXE which produces a list by user and account (for each disk specified) of disk blocks in use, authorized and permitted overdrafts. BAD scans a selected disk for bad blocks. When a bad block is found, the user is asked if BAD should attempt to rewrite the block, assuming a soft error. If the rewrite is selected, the user can select to edit the contents of the bad block before the rewrite is attempted. Changes and Improvements: Upgrade JUICER_2 for VMS 5.5, movefile primative. Restrictions: Operating system VMS V5.5 or later is required.

Smith, NYU Medical Center, New York, NY Operating System: OpenVMS AXP V1.0, OpenVMS/VAX V5.0, ULTRIX V4.1 Source Language: C, VAX FORTRAN Hardware Required: VAXstations, DECstation, Alpha AXP with OpenVMS or X-terminal with X-Windows/R4 (Motif for full functionality under ULTRIX) Keywords: Scientific Applications, Tools - Software Development Abstract: MDPP is a fully featured general purpose image processing package originally written to support research in structural biology requiring electron microscopy and image processing. It has focused on the analysis of images using Fourier techniques, particularly periodic images, but has extensive tools for other options also (e.g. DNA sequencing, point-counting, image quantitation and display). Three dimensional reconstruction methods are supported, including iterative deconvolution schemes for light micrographs. Color images are supported with both color pallet and RGB options. The package is easy to install and use, even by the novice user. Extensive documentation is included, and is accessible from within the program as on-line HELP. Care has been taken to support interfaces to other image processing packages, e.g., Macintosh applications via the TIFF image format and other EM-targeted image processing packages such as Spider, Semper, PIC and the MRC package. The basic package is command line driven, but the user can choose to write sophisticated command scripts and their own menus with a full-screen interface to implement them. Foreground and background operation is supported allowing batch processing for large jobs. Notes: ULTRIX/RISC version is accessible via NFS. Executable and/or object code is included. Experimental software; not for commercial applications.

Neither user needs an account on the remote VAX nor do they need access to VAX mail. SEND works by setting up a transparent task-to-task link to an OBJECT (SENDSRV) on the remote node. After establishing this link, the programs exchange information about usernames, nodenames and file attributes. After exchanging the file attributes, the file is copied in 512 byte blocks to the remote node. Upon the successful completion of the transfer, the sender receives a log message and the receiver is sent a broadcast. If the receiver is not logged in, a count file is created in the receiver's root directory. When the user logs in, they are notified. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included.

Files have been placed in a directory structure which is identical to the one used at wuarchive. Some of the major packages include: . Archives from several usenet newsgroups - comp.sources.unix, - comp.sources.X, - alt.sources, and - comp.sources.reviewed . The SIMTEL-20 UNIX-c and ADA archives . X11R5 distribution and contributions . Freed parts of BSD UNIX . GNU utilities archive . AnalyRIM spreadsheet/dbms . KA9Q TCP/IP archives . Selected MS-DOS items . Internet RFCs . UNIX TeX distribution . MACH-3 kernel . LINUX UNIX-like OS for Intel . SCHIP symbolic math archive Listings of the contents of the tar files and selected indices of the material are on the CDs, which also include a fulltext retrieval tool. The material was collected from wuarchive on 5/1/1992 and 12/1/1992 approximately. Most of the material is from December, 1992 and is current to that date. Since the material at wuarchive is compressed, the actual amount of code and text on the two CDs represent between three and four GB of data. Notes: Executable/and or object code is included.
