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 617-480-3418 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.

Media (Service Charge Code): 2400' Magnetic Tape (PC) Format: UNIX/TAR, TK50 Tape Cartridge (TC) Format: UNIX/TAR New DECUS No: V-SP-71 Title: Symposium Collection from the RSX SIG, Fall 1987, Anaheim Version: 1, February 1988 Author: Various Submitted by: Glenn C. Everhart Operating System: IAS, MICRO/RSX, MicroVMS, P/OS, RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS, RSX-11S, VAX/VMS Source Language: C, FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN IV-PLUS, MACRO-11 Keywords: Symposia Tapes - VMS 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. See DECUS Program No. 11-SP-99 for a description of the program. Complete sources may or may not be included. Media (Service Charge Code): 2400' Magnetic Tape (PS) Format: VMS/BACKUP, TK50 Tape Cartridge (TC) Format: VMS/BACKUP New 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. Media (Service Charge Code): 2400' Magnetic Tape (PC) Format: VMS/BACKUP, TK50 Tape Cartridge (TC) Format: VMS/BACKUP New 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. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New 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 Documentation may or may not be on magnetic media. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New 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. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: VMS/BACKUP New DECUS No: 11-SP-99 Title: Symposium Collection from the RSX SIG, Fall 1987, Anaheim Version: 1, February 1988 Author: Various Submitted by: Glenn C. Everhart Operating System: IAS, MICRO/RSX, MicroVMS, P/OS, RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS, RSX-11S, VAX/VMS Source Language: C, FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN IV-PLUS, MACRO-11 Keywords: Symposia Tapes - RSX-11 ** 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.

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.
