This directory contains several tasks and command files that I have found useful. These come with the standard DECUS grarantee (ie - if it doesn't work or crashes your system, tough). The phrase "Will run under" means I have tried it under these operating systems, and had no problems. The phrase "Should run under" means I have not tried it, but know of no reason why it needs to be modified to work under these operating systems. T. R. Wyant Central Virginia LUG E. I. DuPont de Nemours & co TFD - P.O. Box 27001 Richmond, Virginia 23261 TIZ - Task Image Zapper Source Language - Fortran-77 Will run under - RSX-11M V3.2, RSX-11M+ V1.0 and V2.0 Should run under - RSX-11M, at least back to V3.0 and forward to V4.0 Function - Provide formatted dump of task image label blocks, showing name, partition, priority, creation date, LUN assign- ments, and so on. Most of the items dumped can be modified. This grew out of a task written to deal with the M+ V2.0 task builder's incorrect common area access assignment (since patched). CALC - Calculator and radix converter. Source Language - "@" processor. Will run under - RSX-11M+ V2.0 Should run under - RSX-11M V4.0 Function - Do integer calculations in octal or decimal, and radix conversion to or from ASCII (word), RAD-50, or any radix from 2 thru 16. User can create numeric symbols on the fly to store results for later use. Note that the calculations string is interpreted in "@" fashion (left to right), rather than in algebraic fashion (* and / before + and -). Also, trapping errors in the calculation string requires servicing Type 2 errors with an ONERR directive, ignoring the manual's contention that you can't continue after a Type 2 error. Wierd things may happen in this case, though it has worked okay, so far. BRU - BRU command line builder. Source Language - "@" processor. Will run under - RSX-11M V3.2, RSX-11M+ V1.0 and V2.0 Should run under - RSX-11M V4.0 Function - Construct the required mount commands and BRU command line to do most of our BRU runs. Can be invoked interactively (@BRU), or with parameter passing (@BRU IN: OU: or @BRU OU:=IN:). Validates input and output devices, mounts all unmounted media foreign (under M+ only), and selects BRU switches depending on whether the input and output media are disk or tape, and whether mounted FILES-11 or foreign. All media mounted by this command file will be dismounted when it exits. Under and RSX-11M+ V1.0 only, media should be either mounted FILES-11 or unmounted; unmounted devices should not be set public. Under the other 3 operating systems, this doesn't matter. This command file will apply the /DEN switch for MF:, MM:, MS:, and MT: out- put, using the highest density avail- able. No density is assumed for input. This should be readily modifiable to meet individual site needs. This command file will also (under M+ V2.0 and M V4.0) compute initial and maximum index file sizes for disk-to- disk transfers between different-sized disks. In all tested cases, these ap- proximate the INI defaults.
