/VMSWIZ Website - VMS and OSU information/

The following are some useful utilities I've written over the years. All
assume that you have the OSU web server installed and running and know
how to create protected script directories to password-protect the
applications.

Use at your own risk. No warranties implied or expressed. YMMV. Enjoy!

Please give new users this web site address so they can get the latest
version of the tools.

If you are not already subscribed to the OSU webserver mailing list,
this is a MUST. Product announcements, upgrades, bug fixes, techniques
and tips are announced here. Go to
http://www.kjsl.com/mailman/listinfo/vms-web-daemon/ for information on
how to subscribe.


      Now, an overview of the tools:

      See the readme.txt file in each zip file for detailed information.
      Everything is written in DCL so you don't need any compilers or to
      learn any new languages. If you are a VMS bigot, you already know
      DCL and can figure out what my scripts are doing :)

      CHANGE_PASSWORD.COM allows you to create an account
      synchronization list that will be used to change a user's
      passwords on all VMS, pathworks and advanced server domains
      throughout your network. Uses DECNET to launch a command file via
      DECNET task-to-task communications that actually executes the
      password change under the system account sent remotely from the
      httpserver account. The script forces users to choose from a
      system-generated list of passwords. This can easily be removed
      from the utility, if desired.

      PWCONTROL is a web-browser based Advanced Server v6.x and v7.x
      management utility for creating accounts, shares, groups, etc. You
      can give non-privileged pc support technicians access to only the
      functions you want them to have. For example, allow them to grant
      access to shares, but don't allow them to create new user accounts
      or to grant Domain Admin priv to anyone. Manage all of your
      Advanced Server domains from anywhere in the network.

      VMSINV.COM generates static web pages detailing the hardware and
      software configuration for a VMS server.

      WEBDAT is not quite a 4gl, but not quite a 3gl either, actually it
      is barely a GL at all. Give it a key and a list of data fields
      that you want to maintain in an RMS data file and it will generate
      scripts to CRUD the database (Create, Remove, Update, Display).
      Records are stored in a special variable length delimited list
      field format to allow up to 255 bytes per field. It is a simple
      format and can be imported into other applications such as Excel
      easily. The web scripts generate simple forms to enter and change
      data. You can manually modify these simple scripts to make some
      extremely advanced gui applications and databases.
