[1,2] -- HELP TEXT ------------------ Submitted by: Chris Doran Date: September 1988 Sira Ltd., South Hill, Chislehurst, Kent, BR7 5EH, England. Tel: +44 1 467 2636, Telex: 896649, FAX: +44 1 467 6515 Some useful miscellaneous HELP texts. See specific directories for HELP on packages in this kit. Note that section numbers follow the VMS convention and will, if I remember rightly, have to be decremented for RSX. Also, the tab stops are set funnily, because VMS HELP indents 2 spaces for each section level, doing curious things to tabs. ASCII.HLP shows the ASCII codes in octal, decimal, and hex, as supplied with RSX, but with the addition of the DEC multinational and HP LaserJet 8-bit codes, plus VT5x and VT1xx/VT2xx/VT3xx forms drawing. TERMINAL.HLP shows the device identity sequences for various terminals. POSTCODES.HLP UK postal areas, including London postal districts. Very useful for dealing with infuriating people who don't give their town or county any more. TELEPHONE.HLP contains Monarch ringing tones, and US area codes from [VAX86D.RCAF86.MISC]AREACODE.TXT. Our working version also contains the Sira internal telephone directory, but there's no point in distributing that! Will someone please volunteer to type in the UK STD code directory? RS232.HLP how to wire up an RS232 to S5/8 cable, and a DECmate or VT220 printer cable. Saves everyone coming to ask. Also lists what the RS232 lines all do. SSP.HLP list of subroutines in the IBM Scientific Subroutine Package, DECUS 10-101/20-26 (I presume -- I got my copy from [1,11] on the LIBKIT tape that was once available in the UK). NOTE: I don't know any more about SSP than is in this HELP file, which was created from DEC's SPD No 15.45, intuition, and the SSP source file (which is completely uncommented!)
