I recently acquired a 3b1 after 3 years of working with UniSoft implementations and ULTRIX, and I find I miss some of the tools that I had gotten used to. 1. ctags - it's ironic that vi supports use of tags, but the system doesn't give you a tool for creating a tags file. 2. strings - not terribly critical, and it certainly wouldn't be hard to write, but it is rather convenient. 3. calendar - I've become dependent on those reminder messages. Does anyone know if there are public domain versions of any of these (or other missing tools) available, and if so where to get them? -- Dave Hanna, Daltech MicroSystems | "Do or do not -- There is no try" P.O.

<< missing strings and calendar >>
Hi,
Check out the Korn shell. "strings" is one of the keywords
recognized by the shell, but it doesn't seem to exactly work the
way it should. Oh well. Must be another one of those kludges.
Below, I have attached a short c progam that is fairly analogous to
the Unix strings program that comes with BSD. It was derived
separately by Jeff Friedl and myself, so I don't think it violates
any copyrights, as we have not seen the source.
As for calendar, I'm working on it. Basically you need to write a
little bit of code that can generate a regular expression based on
the date (accounting for weekends, of course) that you feed to
egrep along with your calendar database. My program ain't pretty,
so I don't want to post it yet. I wrote a bourne shell procedure
that runs at 4:00 am everyday to egrep calendars for all the users
on my system by pulling names from /etc/passwd. One thing that I
added is a #include directive (that is not on Sys V, but I think
Berkeley has it) so that work groups can share a common calendar.
Sorry to post source here, but our vax is braindamaged about
moderated gourps. This is pretty short anyway:

Before we get another rush of "What's The Store?" queries, it's essentially a bbs run by AT&T from which a number of more or less useful UNIXpc software packages are available. You need to install something called CATALOG on your 3b1 before you can access The Store... I have CATALOG, as do many others.

As far as calendar, their is a program called REMINDER from THE STORE, that performs a similar function. Otherwise the Calendar program that you can find in your /etc/fixes directory (if not installed already) has similar functions to remind you. -Lenny -- US MAIL : Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSS PO Box 1 I C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SS PHONE : (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C U U S TELEX : 154232428 [ICUS] IIIII CCC UUU SSS AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny UUCP : ...{mtune, ihnp4, boulder, talcott, sbcs, bc-cis}!icus!lenny

(He mentions "calendar", "strings", and "ctags".) Dave, I have the code you want, but host "gtmvax" seems to want to route through "rutgers", which can't find "dms3b1". I have tried getting a message to you via variations on your return address twice, and both have been bounced. Please send me an alternate path. To all, I have the code that Dave wants. If there is sufficient interest in any of what he mentions, I can post same. -- Gary S. Trujillo {ihnp4,linus,bbn,m2c}!spdcc!gnosys!gst Somerville, Massachusetts {cirl,ima,stech,wjh12}!gnosys!gst

I've got a calendar program which uses lex to parse the dates. I could clean that up and post it if there is enough interest. Kris A.
