Project Software & Development, Inc. 14 Story St. Cambridge, Ma. 02138 617-661-1444 Program: CAT Author: Robin Miller Date: Fall 1984 Description: This is a catchall utility I've used successfully for many years. It allows some capabilities not available in other catchalls and has been received very well on the systems I've used it on. This version is much the same as the Digital version except for the following: o It's a privileged task which allows non-privileged users to execute certain privileged commands. o Many of the commands such as DELETE, DIRECTORY, TYPE, etc., are spawned to DCL for a friendlier interface (allows prompting and switches such as /TODAY). o Allows multiple command lines to be spawned. o Allows commands to be added much easier than the Digital version. See module CATTBL for more details. o Does not require the definition of the logical names ZZ1: and ZZ2: to use the flying run/install of tasks or global command files in the library account. o Allows both flying run/installs or command file execution. The Digital version allows one or the other but not both. o On RSX-11M, commands can be shortened to a single character. On RSX-11M+, modification of the MCR dispatcher is neccessary to pass single character commands to catchall. o A short command summary is displayed by the "CAT" command along with the current version and last modification date.
