DECUS "C" utility routines for DECNET DEC provides FORTRAN, COBOL and BASIC callable routines with it's DECNET Phase IV distribution for RSX 11M and M+, but none for DECUS "C". We are great fans of "C" and wanted to use DECNET task to task, so the DECNET "C" utility library was born. Each module follows the same argument sequence as the MACRO-11 macro definitions. The individual routines are very simple, this submission just saves you duplicating work we've already done. To recreate the library, use NETASM.CMD to assemble the modules, then concatanate the object files and put them in a library. We use NETCLB.OLB as the library name. The documentation follows the form of the CX extension library in the DECUS "C" kit. You should definitely read and understand the first part of the CX manual before using these routines. To rebuild the documentation, use the MAKDOC.CMD file. This assumes you have the GETRNO program from the DECUS "C" distribution or the Fall '82 RSX SIG tape. REC10.C and SEN10.C are "C" version of the REC10.MAC and SEN10.MAC tasks on the DECNET distribution in [200,200]. These routines assume you know your way around DECNET or are willing to learn, in other words, the comments are minimal. There is a partial utility library in NETUTL.C. It served a temporary need at A.P., but is being replaced. It does work but I don't have time to document it's use. A careful reading of the code may give enough information.
