Glenn Everhart's odds 'n' ends, fall 1994 1. Virtual disk software for AXP VMS 6.1. Includes virtual disk on contiguous container files, remote virtual disk over DECnet (robust in case of network link failure...reestablishes new link and goes on), and encrypting virtual disk on not-necessarily-contiguous file files: ASNVDM6.ALPHA_OPT;5 ASNVDM6.CLD;6 ASNVDM6.COM;2 ASNVDM6.MAR;30 ASNVDM6.OBJ;2 ASNVDM6.OPT;5 FDDRIVERNEW.MAR;1 FDHOSTCRY5_S2AXP.MAR;1 FDHOSTREMOT.CLD;4 FDHOSTREMOT_S2AXP.MAR;2 FDREM_CRY_AXP_OBJ.ZIP;1 FD_VIRTDSKS_AXPVMS61.ZIP;1 FQDRIVER_S2.MAR;14 VDDRIVER.LNK;8 VDDRIVER.MAR;5 VDDRIVER.OPT;11 VDDRIVER_S2V2.MAR;4 VDSTEP2.ZIP;1 Compressing virtual disk for Linux: CRAMDISK-1_0.LSM;1 CRAMDISK-1_0.TAR-GZ;1 DOUBLE-0_2B.LSM;1 DOUBLE-0_2B.TAR-GZ;1 Sources for Mark London's BULLETIN utility (newer version than on older tapes), a conferencing system that works like mail and a news reader: BULLETINKIT.ZIP;1 Small utility to chop a file off at some byte: CHOP.EXE;1 CHOP.FOR;4 CHOP.OBJ;2 CLX - something like VERB. Generates .CLD files from DCL tables. CLX-4_1.ZIP;1 Updates for VMS 6.x (vax) for CMU TCP/IP package CMU_TCP_IP_UPDATES.DIR;1 WHOIS.SAVE;1 Comp.sources.misc newsgroup recent articles. COMP_SOURCES.DIR;1 GCE's mods to CSwing 3.74 to allow it to front-end anything. (Now incorporated into the V3.75 version too.) CSWING374_1.ZIP;1 CSWINGMODS.ZIP;1 Description of how to implement custom lexicals, where to patch DCL, etc. CUSTOM_LEXICALS.HOWTO_OUTLINE;1 Reissue of DCL lock interface, modified a bit so it builds OK on current VMS. DCL_LOCK_INTERFACE.ZIP;1 DECnet and tcp/ip "FINGER" workable on AXP VMS 6.1 FINGER_AXP_61.ZIP;2 FINGER_FOR_FIXED_FOR_AXP.SRC;1 John Davis' editor JED, file viewer MOST, and spreadsheet tools. JED.DIR;1 JUICER disk defragger, able to run on VAX and AXP VMS 6.1. Uses movefile only, so cannot corrupt disks. JUICER3.ZIP;1 Utility to read ODS-2 (VMS standard) disk file structures on operating systems other than VMS. Source and binary for OSF/1 AXP are included. ODS-2-READER.C;19 ODS-2-READER.EXE_OSF_1_AXP;1 ODS2READR-LONGDIR.C;1 (Small mod to show file IDs in directory) ODSRDOSF.ZIP;1 Do double speed BACKUP!!! This utility package will present physical or HSC backups on a single tape device as disks (named normally DTA0: if there's one only). These read-only disks then are accessed exactly as disks. The package incorporates cache, knows how to check CRCs and how to use the XOR information to reconstruct bad data on tape. Thus you can extract selected files from a physical backup. BACKUP/PHYS runs about twice as fast as any other kind of BACKUP, so this utility can in principle allow you to double the speed of your backup. Full sources are here. By Glenn Everhart. PBKR.ZIP;1 Plotter package PLOTMTV1_4_0.TAR-GZ;1 Skeleton intercept driver for AXP VMS 6.1 and later. Shows how to intercept I/O at various points. Also contains logic to remove the intercept at any time. This intercept can allow the same I/O point to be intercepted many times without interference, so is suitable for use in products not wanting to cause crashes by corrupting kernel structures. Tested. By Glenn Everhart. QRDRIVER_S2.MAR;3 VMS port of RCS Revision Control System (does much of what CMS does) RCS-5-6.TAR-GZ;1 VMS Remote magtape driver stuff for AXP VMS 6.1. Works over DECnet. REMOTETAPE_AXP61.ZIP;1 Latest Unzip distribution (see tools area of the tape for unzip.exe). UNZIP512.ZIP;2 Snowstorm display for DECwindows. XSNOW.ZIP;1 Pick an arbitrary image from arbitrary window or rectangular area of an X windows display and write to a file in a variety of formats.
