     The Spring 1982 tape is being distributed  in  DCL  BACKUP  format  in  the
following save-sets:

      o  VAX000.ALL - A save  set  of  the  [VAX000]  directory  which  contains
         general  information and of the [VAX000.INDEX] directory which contains
         a set of indexes into the seven tapes.  See [VAX000]0README.1ST  for  a
         more complete guide to the files in [VAX000].

      o  VAX82A.ALL - The Spring 1982 VAX Systems SIG Symposia tape.


     This tape contains revised  versions  of  several  sizable  submissions  to
earlier tapes:  [VAX82A.LBLTOOLS], a UNIX like overlay to VMS;  [VAX82A.ICR...],
a set of directories from the Institute  for  Cancer  Research;   and  [VAX82A.-
SAO...] from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.

     Every directory in the  level  directly  below  VAX82A  has  a  file  named
AAAREADME.TXT.   These files contain very general information about the contents
of the directory tree under them.  I have  taken  the  liberty  of  editing  the
submitted  AAAREADME.TXT  or  other descriptive files to make them fit into this
mold, however the descriptive remarks are almost always the submittor's.  (A few
submittors gave me little to go on.)

     Almost every lower level directory has  one  or  more  files  with  a  .DOC
extension.   Where  I  could  find  documentation type files under other names I
renamed them something.DOC.  Sometimes  the  .DOC  files  do  not  contain  much
documentation but do contain pointers to more complete documentation.

     The software on this tape is provided on a use at your own risk basis.   In
most  cases  the  name  of  the  author  appears somewhere in the program or its
documentation and he would probably be interested in your praise or damnation of
his  efforts.   No  promise  of support is made by the authors, DECUS or the VAX
Systems SIG.

     This submission is a collection of small tools we have  found  useful.
     Apologies  for  some  of  the  documentation.  As usual, it is getting
     written on the day before the Symposium.   A  brief  overview  of  the
     directories:

     1.  FTP

              is a menu driven utility for copying files over  DECnet.   It
         allows   specification  of  file  protections  and  ownership  (if
         suitably privileged).  It is particularly useful for doing  system
         manager work on multiple machines connected by DECnet.

     2.  RETAB

              is yet another utility for adding and removing  tabs  from  a
         file.   It  is  run  as  a foreign command and can handle wildcard
         input files.

     3.  TREEDEL

              is a  utility  for  deleting  files,  particularly  directory
         trees.   When  processing  a directory tree, it saves deleting the
         directories until last to avoid creating lost files.

     4.  VARY

              is a privileged utility for making a device  unavailable  for
         allocation.  It is useful for preventing a dual ported device from
         mounted from two systems at once.

     5.  IDXDUMP

              is a  utility  for  generating  an  unformatted  dump  of  an
         INDEXF.SYS  file.   It extracts the most useful information into a
         more easily used form suitable for analysis with DATATRIEVE.

     6.  SMAC

              is a set of structured programming macros needed to  assemble
         the other programs in this submission.

     1.  ACP

              contains the template ACP and all ancillary files.

     2.  HASP

              contains template files used for HASP or BISYNC to send JCL.

     1.  BOOST

              raises a user's priority for  a  specific  sub-process.   The
         program  also creates the sub-process and places all logical names
         defined in the user's LOGIN.COM in the sub-process's symbol table.

     1.  SD

              is a program to make "set default" easier and  more  flexible
         and  take fewer keystrokes.  This submission replaces a previously
         submitted version of the same program.

     1.  CONFERENCE

              provides a multi-terminal  "talk"  facility  for  up  to  ten
         users.   It  is  written  in  Pascal  and works on VT52 compatible
         terminals.

                            Carrollton, Texas  75006



          A brief overview of the directories:

     1.  AVATU

              contains the file AVATUDOC.DOC which was accdentally  deleted
         from  some  of  the Fall 1981 tapes.  The complete directory is on
         [VAX81B.DFWLUG.AVATU].

     2.  GALAXY

              a much inproved MULTI-TREK.

     3.  MGT

              a general purpose Magnetic Tape Utility.

     4.  MOSTEK

              several utility programs and command procedures.

          o  CRT

                  a set of CRT control subroutines written originally under
             VMS  V1.0  to  control VT100's, VT52's, and a variety of other
             graphics and display terminals.  While this subroutine package
             has  little  value  now that VMS foreign terminal support is a
             reality, it may nevertheless  prove  helpful  for  users  with
             special  graphics  requirements  who  are  in need of a kernel
             terminal I/O package.

          o  DELAY

                  a very simple subroutine package designed to hibernate  a
             process  for  a  given  number of milliseconds (or 100ns clock
             ticks).

          o  GETJPI
                                                                          Page 2


                  two routines.  The  fortran  program  produces  a  static
             display  of all SYS$GETJPI parameters for a given process (the
             process may be specified by name or a hex uic PID may be given
             -  the name is checked first and then if rejected, the command
             string  is  converted  to  process  id).   Useful  for  static
             monitoring of any process.

                  The  macro  file  is  a  simplified  interface   to   the
             SYS$GETJPI  system  service  so  that user programs may easily
             access this very useful system information resource.

          o  LBN

                  this command procedure is useful  in  converting  logical
             block number (LBN) on disk drives to and from cylinder, track,
             and sector for RM05 and other disk drives.  This is  necessary
             when bad blocks are to be entered during a manual BAD (MCR BAD
             DRxx:  /UPD).  I can never remember the  correct  formula  for
             each type of drive so This command procedure will work for any
             drive type with the appropriate parameters.

          o  MOVC

                  this set of macro subroutines enables easy access to  the
             VAX MOVC3 and MOVC5 block move byte instructions.  With them a
             programmer may move blocks of data from one position in memory
             to  another  very  efficiently.  Useful in moving single bytes
             around in I*4 arrays, etc.

          o  NETPRT

                  a network file spooler utility which enables  a  user  to
             print  a file on a remote node (VMS or RSX systems only).  The
             remote RSX code is node specific but may be modified for  your
             partitular network configuration.

          o  RESUME

                  a simple utility  and  associated  command  procedure  to
             resume previously SUSPENDed processes.  Useful in halting user
             use of system resources while system hackers do  their  thing.
             See SUSPEND for further information.

          o  RMS

                  a set of useful RMS  fortran  interface  utilities  which
             allow  the  fortran  programmer  to do wildcard file accesses,
             full filename expansions, block mode file transfers, and  file
             uic changes.  This code will be useful to anyone trying to use
             the USEROPEN parameter on the fortran OPEN statement or anyone
             trying  block  I/O  for the first time.  Portions of the block
             I/O routines have appeared in the PAGESWAPPER.

          o  SHUTDOWN
                                                                          Page 3


                  a rewrite of the  VMS  shutdown  procedure  This  rewrite
             cleans  up  some problems in the shutdown procedure and allows
             for multi-line "shutdown reason messages", as well as  correct
             dismounts of RM05 volume sets (user data).

          o  SPL

                  a  remote  file  spooler  utility  which  preceeded   the
             development  of  the  NETPRT  utility.   Has  as a spool queue
             facility the SPLQUEUE program.

          o  STRING

                  string library routines used by most of the utilities  in
             this DECUS submission.  Inefficient but extremely useful.

          o  SUSPEND

                  a program and corresponding command  procedure  to  place
             all  user  processes  on  the  system  in the SUSPENDED state.
             Useful in performing a  software  HALT  of  the  system  while
             software/hardware work is performed by system hackers.

          o  TELL

                  a simple but useful utility which allows a non-privileged
             user to issue broadcasts to terminals on the system associated
             with his/her UIC, but not to others.  Useful in batch jobs  to
             notify yourself of job completion:

                  $ TELL TTA0:  BATCH JOB ABCDEF IS COMPLETE!!!


     5.  TIP

              a program to transfer files from Computer to Computer.

     6.  VAXDPY

              VAX versions of the DEC-10 SYSTAT and SYSDPY utilities.

     1.  ETAPE

              is a general-purpose program for handling EBCDIC  tapes.   It
         allows  the  user  to  move  around  at will within the tape, send
         output to different files, specify different blocksizes and record
         lengths for different files on the tape, and combine multiple tape
         files into a single output file.  The  capability  of  writing  an
         EBCDIC tape from an ASCII file is also included.

              ETAPE removes all trailing blanks  from  tape  records  after
         reading them.  On output, records will be blank padded and blocked
         to create fixed length tape blocks.  A switch can be set  to  turn
         off  the EBCDIC translation and allow the translation (or writing)
         of ASCII tapes.

                        Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19111


     The programmers at the Institute for Cancer Research  have  written  a
     number  of  programs for VMS aimed at making the system friendlier for
     user and programmer alike.  These are each described in detail on  the
     facility's  subdirectory.   Most of the programs that were released on
     the Fall 1981 VAX Sig tape have significant updates.  Included in this
     package are the following files:

     1.  ICRLIB

              a collection of useful, well documented routines used by  the
         ICR programs.

     2.  COMPILE

              an outstanding compile, load and go utility.

     3.  RATLIB

              a  utility  library  which  is  used  by  several   programs,
         including Ratfiv.

     4.  RATFIV

              a structured Fortran  preprocessor  providing  SWITCH,  IF  -
         ELSE,  WHILE,  FOR, DO, REPEAT - UNTIL, STRING, and BREAK and NEXT
         constructs.  Also supported are INCLUDE files, DEFINE for symbolic
         constants  and  macros  with  arguments,  conditional compilation,
         formats in read, write, encode, and decode statements, use  of  >,
         <,  etc.   instead  of  .GT.,  .LT.,  etc,  and  the  RETURN VALUE
         construct in functions.

     5.  BULLETIN

              provides an easy, friendly way for  the  system  managers  to
         disseminate information to users.

     6.  LIST

              is like the TYPE and Unix GREP commands only better.   LIST's
         simplest  use  is  to  display lines from a file on the terminal a
         screen at a time.  It has sophisticated string searching  and  can
                                                                          Page 2


         write  out  portions  of  files  to other files.  File names to be
         listed may have wild card characters in them, making it easy to do
         such  chores  as looking through a group of files for a particular
         string or variable.  Finally, LIST can be positioned randomly in a
         file  using  line  (record)  numbers, and can list VAX RMS indexed
         files by key number and do key searches.

     7.  BURSTF

              bursts the subroutines, functions, programs, and block  datas
         in a FORTRAN source file into their own individual files.

     8.  TALK

              lets you talk to other users on the system or send them  mail
         if they are not logged on.

     9.  SPAWN

              is a convenient way to run a subprocess.  It  tries  to  make
         the   environment   of  the  subprocess  similar  to  the  current
         environment  by  invoking  the  system-wide  login  command  file,
         setting the default directory to the current default, and invoking
         the file "subdirect.com" if  present  on  the  default  directory.
         Spawn  was originally distributed by Ira Winston at the University
         of Pennsylvania;  we have made some changes.

    10.  BATCH

              is a convenient way to submit a batch process.  It  tries  to
         make  the  environment of the batch process similar to the current
         environment by  setting  the  default  directory  to  the  current
         default,  and  invoking the file "subdirect.com" if present on the
         default directory.

    11.  MTREK

              a game similar to traditional Star-Trek games except that  it
         involves  several  players  (currently  up to 8), who play against
         each other in real time rather than  against  imaginary  Klingons,
         Romulans or whatever.

     This is a complete resubmission of the LBLTOOLS  programs  which  have
     appeared  on  two  previous  VAX  SIG  tapes.  The important files for
     getting started (all on [VAX82A.LBLTOOLS.DISTN]) are:

     1.  README.1ST

              contains step by step instructions on  copying  and  building
         the tools.

     2.  TOOLGEN.COM

              a command procedure for building the tools.

     3.  TOOLGEN.DOC

              a sample toolbuilding session.

     4.  RELEASE.DOC

              release notes.

     LIBRARIAN COMMENTS:

         I found the instructions in README.1ST to be  straightforward  and
         accurate.   The  installation  of  the tools with TOOLGEN.COM went
         smoothly.  It took about an hour and ten minutes  on  an  unloaded
         system (35 minutes of CPU time).

         Note that the [.DOC], [.MSGSYS], [.SRC] and [.VMS] directories are
         not  required  for  the installation or operation of the tools, so
         you can save over 7000 disk blocks by off-loading them.

     When a telephone line is lost, VMS stops the process  associated  with
     that line.  This package provides a means of keeping the process alive
     even if terminal input is required by the process.

     1.  STARTUP

              is an initialization program which should be  run  at  log-on
         with  your LOGIN.COM.  It allows the user to attach to an existing
         unattended process if desired or it starts a detached  process  to
         handle communications between the terminal and its processes.

     2.  MAINUP

              handles the monitoring phase of the  system.   It  hibernates
         except when awakened by a read or write to its mailbox.

     See LINEDROP.DOC for setup and operating instructions.

     This submission contains the latest versions of the RED screen editor,
     STOIC  (Stack-Oriented  Interactive Compiler), a variant of FORTH, and
     RDPAR, a set of input routines for use in place of  FORTRAN  formatted
     input.

     1.  RED

              is a screen editor for use with VT100's.  Considerable effort
         has  been  made  to  have  RED  operate  efficiently  in  a  heavy
         interactive  environment.   It's  syntax  is  similar  to  TECO's.
         People  familiar  with  the  Data General editors SPEED and NSPEED
         will feel at home with this editor.  Current  users  of  RED  will
         find  many  new  features,  including  CUT-PASTE  and user-written
         macros.  I  expect  to  support  other  terminals  and  make  more
         efficiency improvements within the next half-year.  RED is written
         in STOIC.

     2.  STOIC

              is a variant of FORTH.  Significant  differences  from  FORTH
         are  integration  of  VMS IO and System Services rather than using
         the FORTH disk structure, compilation of machine code (both inline
         and  subroutine  calls)  as  opposed  to  threaded code for higher
         efficiency.  Double-precision  floating  point  operations  and  a
         floating-point stack have been added with this release.

     3.  RDPAR

              is a set of input  routines  for  use  in  place  of  FORTRAN
         formatted  input.  It can be used with any other language supplied
         by DEC, but the documentation was written with  FORTRAN  in  mind.
         With RDPAR, all input is handled through a "parameter file".  This
         is just an ordinary text file, containing the  data  you  want  to
         pass  to  your  program.  But the order in which data appears in a
         parameter file is not important.  Rather than  using  position  to
         identify  data,  RDPAR  uses  a  "parameter name":  a string which
         appears at the start of each line.   A  call  to  RDPAR  within  a
         program specifies a parameter name, and RDPAR searches through the
         file for it.  For each parameter name, you can  specify  that  the
         (interactive)  user  should  be prompted for the data, or that the
         data should come from  the  DCL  command  line  used  to  run  the
         program.  These and other features are handled entirely within the
         parameter file;  no recompilation of the program is necessary.

     and  usage.  Complete (well...  maybe not SO complete !) documentation
     can be found in STATS.DOC.  This whole system runs  with  logicals  so
     that  the  various  files  can be spread out.  Logicals are defined in
     STATLOGIC.COM.   You  will  have  to  change  them  for   your   site.
     Datatrieve  definitions  are  contained in DOMAIN.COM, RECORDS.COM and
     PROCS.COM.  All the procedures are for plots on the VT125.

          To compile/link all the programs, type @STATBUILD.

          I  am  interested  in  hearing  about  any  problems,  fixes  and
     enhancements you have.



     [VAX82A.TAPESUBS]AAAREADME.TXT

                      Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
                            Woods Hole, Mass.  02543

                           (617) 548-1400   ex. 2876



          TAPESUBS and TRNALL are two routines which  we  have  found  very
     useful  as  user  "friendly"  means to use system services from a high
     level language.  Our computer center deals  with  a  wide  variety  of
     users,  most  of  whom  know Fortran or some other high level language
     fairly well and can get around on the system.  Almost all of the users
     know nothing about the system services but need to be able to use them
     from time to time.  Our response to this  need  is  macro  subroutines
     which  are  accessed  through  the  standard VAX calling procedure and
     perform the systems service and extensive error handling and  checking
     for the user.

     1.  TRNALL

              performs recursive logical name translation using the $TRNLOG
         system service.  The translation continues until either the system
         returns a status of SS$NOTRAN or the first character in the output
         string  is  an  underscore ("").  The file TRNALL.DOC explains the
         calling sequence and the statuses which might be returned from the
         subroutine.

     2.  TAPESUBS

              is a group of  subroutines  which  aid  in  the  handling  of
         "foreign"  or non-VAX labeled tapes.  At our site we have recently
         converted from a Xerox Sigma-7 to VAX, we also  use  HP  computers
         and  our  users receive tapes from all kinds of computers all over
         the world.  Our biggest  problem  is  being  able  to  handle  the
         different  formats  and be able to read and write "foreign" tapes.
         These tape subroutines are a beginning answer to this problem with
         the  ultimate  goal  to  write  a foreign tape handling version of
         "COPY" (maybe by the fall sysmposium).  These are fairly  easy  to
         use  with  a  minimal  knowledge  of  the internals of the system,
         QIO's, ACP's, etc.  They  do  not  use  the  Fortran  I/O  system.
         Therefore, the user must not use the Fortran READ, WRITE, OPEN, or
         CLOSE  statements  for  the  device  being  accessed.    This   is
         applicable  to  other  high  level languages as well.  Also, files
         accessed through these routines do not count  toward  the  process
         limit  of  open  files.   TAPESUBS.DOC  has  the complete "how to"
         documentation on these routines.  The routine TRNALL  is  required
         for TAPESUBS.


          I hope that some of the other people  in  VAX  world  find  these
     helpful.   I  think  the  documentation  should  be  self explanatory;
     however, I will be glad to answer questions if needed.   Any  comments
     and/or corrections will be welcome.

              is a nice time display and  alarmclock.   See  CLOCK.TXT  for
         instructions.

     2.  DRAWTREE

              gives a nice picture of a directory tree structure.

     LIBRARIAN'S NOTE:

          I modified CLOCK to run on VMS version 2.x  and  included  it  as
     CLOCK.V2.   The  differences  are  considerable.   I  took  a  look at
     DRAWTREE and decided not to try making it run on version 2.

     1.  DEFAULT

              is a versatile substitute for typing "SET  DEFAULT"  and  the
         square  brackets  around  the  directory  name.  This is a revised
         version which uses a user written system  service  (on  .MUSS)  to
         create  and  delete  supervisor  mode logical names.  This version
         corrects a bug which showed up because of a change to the  RTL  in
         VMS version 2.5.

     2.  MUSS

              A user written system service used by the DEFAULT package.

     3.  DISKFILES

              This directory contains the examples from the talk on  ODS  2
         at   the  Spring  1982  symposium.   They  should  be  helpful  in
         constructing programs to read corrupted disk packs.
