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.

DECUS No: V-SP-72 Title: AMIGA Utilities Collection 3
Version: 1, February 1988
Author: Various
Submitted by: Glenn C. Everhart
Operating System: AMIGA DOS, VAX/VMS Source Language: ASSEMBLY,
BASIC, C, FORTRAN 77, MODULA 2 Keywords: Data Base Management,
Games, Graphics, Utilities - VMS
Abstract: This tape contains a large collection of utilities and
programs for the AMIGA 32 bit computer. The AMIGA is an
inexpensive machine well suited to be used as a powerful graphics
workstation in a Digital Equipment Corporation host environment,
with multitasking, large address space, windows, graphics, color,
and more.
The tape contains some new and improved VT100 emulators, editors,
CAD programs, database software, games, picture processors, code
to let an AMIGA be a part of Usenet, drivers, music players, and
scores, multiwindowing remote host packages, hard disk backup
utilities, new fonts, appointment keepers, a BBS, CLI frontends,
instructions for a simple AMIGA based hypertext system,
animations, plotters, disk catalogers, calculators, Prolog
interpreter, and more.
This package contains items introduced for AMIGA PD consumption
since the "AMIGA Utilities Collection 1", DECUS Program No.
V-SP-68, and "AMIGA Utilities Collection 2", DECUS Program No.
V-SP-69, tapes became available. Numerous source programs make
these programs valuable even on non-AMIGA computer
configurations.
Because many of the files are in .ARC form, the VMSSWEEP utility
is provided to allow for examination of these archives online on
a VAX under VMS. An executable version of the ARC utility for
VMS is also provided. However, since this is an alpha version of
VMS ARC, it has several limitations which make it less able to
read archives under VMS than VMSSWEEP. This is why both are
provided.
Complete sources may or may not be included.

DECUS No: VAX-313 Title: MANAGEMENT TOOLS Version: 8.802,
February 1988
Submitted by: M.D. Smith, Smith Broadcasting, Inc.,
Huntsville, AL
Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.6 Source Language: VAX-11 BASIC
Keywords: Business Applications, Utilities - VMS
Abstract: MANAGEMENT TOOLS is a series of ten programs and a text
file written by a manager with twenty-five years experience as a
manager, including ten years teaching management seminars. The
entire program is MENU driven as you RUN the program MENU.EXE.
VAX BASIC (.BAS), .OBJ and .DOC files of each program are also
included. The .DOC files can be read from the main menu.
. COMMUN.EXE Communication effectiveness
. DECISI.EXE Decision making help
. DELEGA.EXE Be a better delegator
. EVALUE.EXE Employee evaluation
. GETDUN.EXE Getting more done in a day
. MANAGE.EXE Better overall manager of people
. MOTIVA.EXE Motivation of people and self
. MYBOSS.EXE Boss evaluation program
. PLANS.EXE Planning improvement
. TIMEFI.EXE Time management improvement
. INTERV.QES Interviewing prospective employees
The more times a manager uses these programs, the more benefits
he/she will gain. There are options for hardcopy printouts of
various portions of the programs as they run or they can be
stored in files.
These programs were originally written on an MS-DOS PC and were
further modified to run on a C-64 and an APPLE computer. The
BASIC code used is highly transportable for this reason and will
run, with only minor modifications, on any computer that runs
BASIC. As requested by the author, this program is not to be
redistributed for profit of any kind.
Non-management personnel will also find benefits in these
programs for business and private lives.

DECUS No: VAX-319 Title: COBOL Cross Reference Version: 1.0,
February 1988
Submitted by: Chester Czulada, E.F. Houghton & Co., Valley
Forge, PA
Operating System: RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS, VAX/VMS V3.0 - V4.7
Source Language: COBOL-74 Keywords: Cross-Referencers
Abstract: COBOL CROSS REFERENCE is a COBOL program that reads the
file created from the directory/out=TEMP1:SRDCOBOL.DAT command.
This file directs the program to read the COBOL files in a
directory assign to "COB:". All COBOL programs are scanned for
file names in the SELECT statements and for the use of the COPY
verb.
Three report sections are produced:
. SECTION A - PROGRAMS WITH ASSOCIATED FILE NAMES
- Each COBOL program is listed with all the file
names used by the program. This allows a quick
review of the program files without access to the
COBOL source.
. SECTION D - FILE NAMES -- CROSS REFERENCE
- Each file found in the COBOL programs is arranged
alphabetically in this cross reference section.
This is a very quick reference to which user programs
have access to specific data files.
. SECTION Y - COPY VERB USES -- CROSS REFERENCE
- Each COPY verb use is listed in alphabetic sequence
with a cross reference to the program.
The only requirements for this program are the three assignments
for data areas.
COB: COBOL SOURCE AREA INPUT
TEMP1: DIRECTORY/OUT=TEMP1:SRDCOBOL.DAT FILE AREA
RPT: REPORT OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT
By limiting the directory/out option file enables you to look at
only specific systems for cross referencing.
Example: Cross reference ap* programs only
$ directory/out=temp1:srdcobol.dat cob:ap*.cob
$ run COBOL_CROSS_REFERENCE

DECUS No: VAX-321 Title: QMON Version: 1.0, February 1988
Submitted by: Gardner Buchanan, C.F.S. Pacific Forestry Centre,
Victoria, BC, Canada
Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.6 Source Language: VAX FORTRAN
Keywords: Utilities - Disk - VMS
Abstract: When disk space suddenly becomes scarce, it is often
hard to answer the question, "Who has used up the disk space?".
This program builds upon the function of DISK QUOTA to provide a
way of tracking disk storage allocation by each user in addition
to the simple snapshot. By comparing a user's current resource
usage to his recent average resource usage, increasing or
decreasing trends can be seen and the system manager may focus
his attention on users whose resource allocation is increasing.
Notes: Operating system VAX/VMS V4.X and later is required.

** 10th Anniversary DECUS SIG Tape **
Abstract: This is the RSX SIG Tape from the Fall 1987 DECUS
Symposium in Anaheim. It is available in either BRU format or
VMS/BACKUP format. The VMS tape is DECUS Program No. V-SP-71.
Following are brief descriptions of the contents of the
directories on the tape. Common documents are found in directory
[300,1] and tape copy utilities are found in directory [300,2].
[200,1] Mandelbrot set explorer and Graphic Microscope
for Digital Equipment Corporation PRO 3xx.
Submitted by R.J. Wilden; minor update by G.
Everhart.
[240,1] The King James version of the BIBLE. Unlike
previous versions, this one is in mixed upper and
lower case; much easier to read than the earlier
submissions.
[265,1] Set/reset/show global event flags. Command line
editor. Send/receive packets from command.
Also, utility to show or delete send/receive and
send/recv-by-ref packets (handy when pool gets
cluttered...). Submitted by Hans Hamakers,
DECUS Europe.
[300,117] FMS-11 enhancements. Adds runtime video
attribute control, and read-with-timeout for
single character fields, for FMS-11 2.0 and 2.1.

Adds support for PIP type wildcards, line
numbering, and many more new features. Submitted
by Chris Doran, SIRA, England.
[312,42] WLDCRD and ENTAB - utility programs for improved
wildcard file handling and tabbing (replacing
multiple spaces with tabs as appropriate).
[312,315] Scientific Subroutine Package, with docs. The
complete SSP math and statistics package is
presented for Digital Equipment Corporation
machines, with all comments and documents in the
sources so they can now be more readily accessed.

keeper version for PDP-11 complete with tested
task images. Submitted by Mitch Wyle and Glenn
Everhart.
[312,351] MicroEmacs 3.9e. These are the sources in C and
all documents for MicroEmacs 3.9e. They need
some work to port to PDP-11, but should be
compact enough to do this with. MicroEmacs is a
powerful but compact editor which can be
customized for most needs.
[327,2] INUSE - lock terminal for up to ten minutes when
you need to leave it briefly. VT200 and TEK4010
- toggle VT240 between VT200 and TEK modes.

control what a non logged-in terminal can do, and
provides a reasonably secure password system.
Submitted by Jim Bostwick.
[343,123] Ancillary Control Drivers; one for electronic
scale, one a skeleton to roll your own... gives
you fine grain control over terminal line
protocols. Submitted by Jim Bostwick.
[343,124] Convert between 64 bit integers and DTR clunk
date/times. Also, 64 bit integer math routines.
Submitted by Jim Bostwick.

indirect command languages and some utilities for
use with indirect including case conversion, .STB
dumper, BRU preprocessor, CDA preprocessor,
indexed read, and printer port handler.
Submitted by T. Wyant.
[351,145] FINGER/RSX. A kind of DECNET based WHO utility
that shows who's on the system, what they're
doing, and much more. Interfaces with the FINGER
utility on VMS also, and permits displays across
DECnet in either direction. Also acts as a
name server (to find an account given a name)
across the network. Submitted by Tom Wyant.
[351,146] Task Image Zapper. Gives formatted dump and
ability to modify most task header fields (E.G.
name, partition, LUN assignments, priority,
creation date, commons, etc.) Calculator and
radix converter. BRU command line builder.
Submitted by Tom Wyant.
[352,4] SRD V6.62. Sorted Directory and general file
system maintenance utility. Now supports either
decimal or octal version numbers, named
directories. Selects these using the RSX FEAT$
directive, so it'll work on most systems w/o
taskbuild. Submitted by Arnold DeLarisch.
[356,31] DATATRIEVE SIG items: information on reading
quadword dates in FORTRAN. Process RSX console
log files. Process RSX-11M-PLUS system
accounting with DTR. Graphing data on PRO-3xx.
[356,40] KERMIT. Several recent (1/14/88) KERMITs are
present, including KERMIT-11, VMS KERMIT, MS/DOS
KERMIT V2.30, CP/M KERMIT, C KERMIT, some IBM
mainframe KERMITs, the new XK*.* version of C
KERMIT, and a few document files and associated
odds and ends. This is NOT a complete KERMIT
distribution of all KERMITs, but each KERMIT
presented is complete (except for a few binaries
of some machines and OSs which were removed to
make some space). The full "KERMIT Distri-
bution", DECUS Program No. V-SP-53, is available
separately.
Complete sources may or may not be included.
