The following are two DECUS library status reports showing new programs available from the DECUS library. To reach the DECUS library, use the address: DECUS Program Library 219 Boston Post Road Marlboro, Mass. 01752-1850 USA 508-480-3418 Programs are distributed for media/copying charges that are more or less in line with what universities charge. This is needed because they have to pay some fulltime staff, pay for machines & maintenance, and the costs of catalogs, etc. Not cheap. They get partial subsidies from DEC to help with this, so costs aren't as high as they could be. However, Columbia charges $100/tape for Kermit, you pay $50 for PMDF, and so on; DECUS charges are comparable. Also, SIG tapes can be obtained free from your LUG as well as the DECUS library. This information is provided so if you want any of these programs, you don't have to wait for a catalog to appear.

Everhart, Ph.D. Operating System: CP/M, IAS, MICRO/RSX, MS/DOS, Micro/VMS, OS/278, P/OS, RSTS/E, RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS, RT-11, TOPS-10, TOPS-20, VAX/VMS, VENIX Source Language: ALGOL, BASIC, BLISS-16, BLISS-32, BLISS-36, C, FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN IV, FORTRAN IV-PLUS, LISP, MACRO-10, MACRO-11, MACRO-32, PAL-8, PASCAL, VAX-11 FORTRAN Keywords: Data Communications, KERMIT Abstract: This tape collection contains a VMS Backup distribution made from a KERMIT distribution from Columbia University dated June 24, 1988. The tape collection contains all KERMITS known to Columbia as of that date plus a large amount of documentation. The Columbia distribution is on five (5) reels of tape. To reduce costs, the distribution has been placed on TWO (2) reels of tape for DECUS, in VMS/BACKUP format at 1600 BPI, one tape at 6250 BPI. All KERMITS are here as distributed by Columbia University. The new MS/DOS KERMIT (V2.30), a new universal IBM Mainframe KERMIT, and an update to C KERMIT are present on this collection as recent additions. Complete KERMIT documentation and booting instructions are on the tape. No paper documentation is needed. Files beginning with AA*.* should be looked at first for an overview of what's here. Changes and Improvements: Later versions of several Kermits. MEDIA (Service Charge Code): 2400' Magnetic Tapes (PB) Format: VMS/BACKUP, 2400' Magnetic Tape (SB) Format: VMS/BACKUP, TK50 Tape Cartridge (TB) Format: VMS/BACKUP Revision VAX-129 FORTRAN Programming Tools Version: III.4, June 1988 Submitted by: A. Ragosta & L. Jurgeleit, US Army ARTA, MS 219-3, Moffett Field, CA Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.7 Source Language: DCL, FORTRAN 77, MACRO-32 Memory Required: Varies Keywords: Debugging, System Management - VMS, Tools - Software Development Abstract: The FORTRAN Programming Tools are a series of tools used to support the development and maintenance of FORTRAN source codes. Included are a debugging aid, source code maintenance aids, print utilities, a CPU time monitoring program, a NAMELIST-like package, a general purpose filter, a user-friendly executive subsystem, and a library of useful, well-documented routines. These tools assist in reducing development time and encouraging high quality programs. Although intended for FORTRAN users, some of the tools can be used on data files or other programming languages. Notes: Operating system VMS V4.0 or later is required. Changes and Improvements: Miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements, new program to send messages, new executive subsystem. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP, or order VAX-LIB-4 Revision VAX-300 JMU Bulletin Board Version: 2.15, June 1988 Submitted by: Michael S. O'Neill, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.7 Source Language: VAX FORTRAN Software Required: FMS Hardware Required: VT100 compatible terminal or PC with VT emulation. Keywords: Bulletin Board Abstract: The JMU Bulletin Board/Conferencing System is a FMS based menu driven system that utilizes the return and cursor keys for command selection. It is designed to allow novice users to easily use it for viewing notices without forcing them to become familiar with its advanced features. Among its features are: - Tracking of last notice read in each category. - A menu driven user interface. - Integral access to the EDT text editor. - Context sensitive HELP system. - Selective category omission on a per user basis. - Automatic insertion of notice owner's userid. - Direct access to the VMS mail utility while viewing a notice. - A reply option for posting a response to a notice while it is being viewed. - A backup option that allows the viewing of previously viewed notices. - An output option that allows you to output a copy of a notice to a file, line printer (SYS$PRINT), or a printer connected to your terminal or PC. - Support for multiple bulletin boards. - Chaining of notice replies. - Multi-level conferencing support. - File upload and download support. Notes: Operating System VAX/VMS V4.4 or higher is required. Changes and Improvements: Menu enhancements, conference enhancements, bug fixes. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP, or order VAX-LIB-8 New VAX-351 QUOTE Version: April 1988 Submitted by: Tom Brink, Arizona Department of Transportation Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.6 Source Language: VAX FORTRAN Memory Required: 3KB Keywords: Utilities - VMS Abstract: This program displays a random quote upon LOGON. Small efficient executable displays one of one hundred quotes available in ASCII data file. Extra one hundred quote data file included. User can create own data files. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New UX-113 Creep Version: 1.5, May 1988 Submitted by: University of California at Berkeley, through Digital Equipment Corp. Operating System: ULTRIX V4.3BSD, UNIX V4.2 Source Language: C Memory Required: 1.5MB Keywords: Circuit Simulation Abstract: CREEP is a two-dimensional (2D) process simulator designed to solve certain creep-flow problems encountered in integrated circuit fabrication technology. Its most important capability is the prediction of general 2D silicon oxidation, using stress-dependent oxidation models. It also performs glass-reflow or film-shrinkage simulation as subset-problems of silicon oxidation. CREEP is equipped with a flexible and robust data structure for handling geometric information. All geometric structures are represented using nodes and segments; hence, fairly general geometric structures can be handled by the CREEP program. A finite-element mesh generator has also been built into CREEP. Mesh generation is done automatically at every time-step of the computation, with the user supplying only a mesh-density parameter. Ordering information for the documentation is as follows: . Order DECUS No. UX-113 (EB) for the "CREEP - A 2D Creep-Flow Process Simulator" User's Guide. . Order DECUS No. UX-113 (ED) for the "Finite-Element Methods for Process Simulation Application to Silicon Oxidation" Manual. Notes: This program was developed by the Computer-Aided Design Group, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California-Berkeley. Documentation available in hardcopy only. Media (Service Charge Code): User's Manual (EB), User's Manual (ED), 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: TAR New 11-907 CMD - IND Control Files Version: May 1988 Submitted by: R.W. Barnard, BIO/Comp Applications, Albuquerque, NM Operating System: RT-11 V5.0 Source Language: IND Keywords: File Management Abstract: CMD.IND provides the capability of issuing RT-11 commands such as COPY/ALPHABETICAL, or using the BACKUP command on a wildcarded file selection. CSICMD is a similar concept, but it is primarily designed for doing wildcard file transfers with the TRANSF communications server. It permits issuing commands such as TRANSF/SINCE:9:MAY DU3:*.FOR/T VD3:/S. Included are UCL-PLUS symbols for doing the transfers. Notes: Other required software is either provided or identified in the package. Media (Service Charge Code): One RX50 Diskette (JA) Format: RT-11, 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: RT-11 New 11-908 RTCLOK/TSXCLK Version: 1.16, 1.18, June 1988 Submitted by: James D. Whitlock, Jr., Woodcraft Components, San Antonio, TX Operating System: RT-11 V5.4C Source Language: MACRO-11 Memory Required: 1KB Hardware Required: DL(V)11 type Serial line, GCW1000 Heath/Zenith. Most accurate clock with RS232 interface. Keywords: Clock Abstract: RTCLOK automatically sets the date and time at boot-up and can reset the date and time as required. Since time is lost during the TSX boot process, the TSXCLK variant is also included. These programs allow the Heath/Zenith GCW1000 Most Accurate Clock to properly set the system date and time via DL(V)11 type serial interface lines.
