OpenVMS Alpha Porting and Migration

               A demonstration of the VAX EDITPC Instruction
                   Functionality Ported to OpenVMS Alpha

This page contains links to the source for a program which demonstrates the
VAX EDITPC instruction functionality on an OpenVMS Alpha platform.

EDITPC is a complicated VAX string instruction and its functionality was
not built into the Alpha Macro-32 compiler. Thus, porting programs which
make use of this instruction, without the techniques developed and used by
TMESIS Software in this example, would require a substantial effort to
provided all of the EDITPC instruction's functionality available on the
VAX.

TMESIS Software will license its ported EDITPC functionality demonstrated
on this page. If you wish to license this code, send a request in writing
to: VAXman@TMESIS.COM.

This demonstation is composed of two (2) simple macro programs. The first
program, EDITPC_DEMO.MAR, is a simple interface to another program which is
called TMESIS$MILMARK_TIME.MAR. The second program utilizes the EDITPC
instruction to format an input integer count of nanoseconds with commas and
normalizes the value to the nanoseconds, microseconds or milliseconds if
appropriate.

The EDITPC functionality is provided by the macro EDITPC.MAR and makes the
TMESIS$MILMARK_TIME.MAR code completely platform (VAX or Alpha)
independent.

The following form will permit you to enter a value for conversion by the
demonstation programs discussed on this page and see the resulting output.
