Good Luck!! ** *************************************************************************** As a note of MINOR encouragement, I have all of KMSKIT working on V4.1 of RSX11M and the enclosed files are the ones I used. This is NOT (nor was it intended to be) a rerelease of the entire KMSKIT. If you want the sources for ARC MAIL, some of the utilities, BATCH, etc look on earlier SIG tapes. These UIC's contain the new material relating to bringing up KMSKIT on V4.1 of RSX. The following UIC's are part of the KMSKIT RSX11M Enhancements Package Update for V4.1. [344,1] Documentation files. Command file to create the document files. You need RUNOFF to do this. Hope you have it. [344,40] Terminal and disk accounting, privlege allocation, modifications to HELLO, HELP and BYE, account utilities and report programs. Run privlege checking and searching both LIBUIC, NETUIC and SYSUIC on a RUN $ command. SET /LIBUIC for RSX11M (just like M-Plus). Enhancements to ...AT. to implement the /-LI switch. [344,43] Utilities. Updated versions of GREP and LIST [344,44] Here is a version of the old RMDEMO which runs on VT100's which are in ANSI mode. This version is almost half as small as the new version and supports reploting and easy exit. In addition, if KMS Accounting is present and active, it provides a dynamic display of the percent of total system utilization. This version (less my mods) was distributed with the field test kit of RSX11M V3.2 and is distributed here courtesy of the the RSX group. It runs on a RSX11M V4.1 system. [344,45] PDQ -- Program Development Queues. PDQ is a multi- queue command file despooler (using QMG...). Submit a command file for execution. When a program development queue becomes free, the command file executes at your TI: [344,61] CCL V9.0. Submitted by Paul Sorenson. Realy slick. Paul Sorenson says he is submitting CCL for inclusion on this UIC. I have fieldtested it and I think you will like it. Need I say more? CCL is almost too useful to be free. [344,65] A complete SYSTEM ACCOUNTING package for RSX11M. While oriented towards providing performance measurement, it provides the basis for implementing a versitile and reasonable charge-back accounting system. Some reports are provided which will do this. Please read SYSLOG.DOC. Please, create and read the documentation before leaping in and trying to use the kit! A discription of all the modifications and enhancements and most of the utilities is in KMSKIT.DOC. The command file [344,40]KMSGEN.CMD will provide all required information (or most of it)for building the KMS Enhancements and a number of the other programs. Read KMSKIT.DOC before trying to include the executive data base changes. Please note that it has not been updated since V4.0 and the file REQSB.SLP is no longer needed. Note also, this is an update kit. Hence all files refered to in KMSGEN may not bee on this kit. To use this kit, transfer the files to their respective UIC's. Read all the documentation over twice. Set /UIC=[344,40] and type @KMSGEN/-MC and run through a KMSGEN asking for a long dialog. Place the required DEC sources in the correct places, KMSGEN will try and do all the SLP patches both to MCR sources, the EXEC modules and the SYSGEN command files. If KMSGEN sucessfully SLPs the MCR, EXEC and SYSGEN command files, stop, place the OLB's and sources on your SYSGEN disks and do a SYSGEN if you are incorporating data structures (accounting) requiring a SYSGEN. Once the SYSGEN is done use KMSGEN again to create all needed files. This release kit of KMSKIT is not complete in and of itself. Hence, some programs if you desire to build them will require getting the programs from an earlier version of KMSKIT. Where useful programs have been updated, newer versions have been supplied. These programs have been extensively tested for the case where all KMS options are selected and where most DEC sysgen options are selected. KMSGEN and the command files to implement KMSKIT for the general user have had almost no testing since I do all patches one at a time checking results as I go. The first user to try KMSKIT found a bunch of bugs in the command files. These I tried to fix. But, as we all know, bugs are hard to completely stamp out. Be warned, be careful, and be alert. Since, I know the SLP patches once incorporated work, I am sure they can be incorporated with a bit of perseverence. I appologize in advance for any potential inconvenience, but current government regulations (let alone my family) preclude me spending in excess of 24 hours daily at work. I simply do not have time to do all that I have to do as well as all that I would like to do. Good Luck, James G.
