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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
