DECUS "C" utility routines for DECNET V 2.0 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. 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. V 2.0 Notes This submission includes a set of utility routines to make DECnet much simpler in DECUS "C". NETIO and NETLNK allow treating the network in a method similar to "C" files. These routines take care of assigning a free LUN, setting up connect blocks and many of the other irritating details of DECnet connections. Other programs in this submission use these routines. A ready to use library is contained in [333,100]CN.OLB. You should include STDNET.H in all C programs that use these routines. Documentation for NETIO and NETLNK can be extracted using GETRNO from the DECUS "C" kit. Questions, complaints, praise (I rather like the last) can be addressed to: Hans J.
