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.

UX-111 PLAtools Version: November 1987
Submitted by: University of California at Berkeley, through
Digital Equipment Corporation
Operating System: ULTRIX/UNIX Source Language: C, RATFOR Memory
Required: 1.5MB Software Required: VAX C Compiler, RATFOR
Compiler Keywords: Utilities - ULTRIX
Abstract: The Berkeley PLA Tools are a set of tools designed for
performing logical and topological optimization as well as test
pattern generation of programmable logic arrays (PLAs). The tools
form a system encompassing the design of PLAs from the specifi-
cation of algebraic equations, through logic minimization and
folding, to final physical layout and test pattern generation.
These tools also support the optimization of finite-state
machines (FSMs) when the machine is implemented as a programmable
logic array.
Notes: Operating system UNIX V4.1, V4.2, or V4.3BSD is required.
This program was developed by the Computer-Aided Design Group,
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences,
University of California-Berkeley.
Restrictions: U.S. Government export regulations prohibit the
distribution of this program outside the United States without
the appropriate export licenses.

V-SP-24 AnalytiCalc (PortaCalc): A 3D Spreadsheet/Database
System in VMS/BACKUP Version: V22.3B, March 1988
Author: Glenn C. Everhart, Ph.D.
Operating System: AMIGA DOS, IAS, MS/DOS, RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS,
VAX/VMS Source Language: FORTRAN 77, MACRO-11, MACRO-32
Keywords: Business Applications, Data Base Management,
Mathematical, PortaCalc, Spreadsheet
Abstract: AnalytiCalc is a powerful three dimensional
spreadsheet/database and analysis system with easy user
extensibility designed to outperform most any commercial package
available, running on PDP-11 systems able to support the F4P
compiler, or VAX systems, needing the VAX FORTRAN compiler to
compile. Several terminals are supported, including the VT100
series, VT52, Datamedia Colorscan 10, and Elite 1500, Televideo
925, and ANSI color terminals. A full DTR-32 interface is
supported on VAX and a command mode structure similar to Visicalc
or other micro spreadsheets is available as an option. Address
range maxima are 32,000 rows and 32,000 columns on VAX, 10,000 by
10,000 on PDP-11 (using software virtual memory on PDP-11). A
mode for "connecting" arbitrary VAX applications to AnalytiCalc
is now available also with simple syntax and numerous supporting
new string functions.
The program is designed for power and to be easily portable to
other systems supporting FORTRAN, with peculiarities used
documented, and its manual is designed to be turned into a system
HELP file so that it can be read online. Tutorials are supplied
as well.
A data management system interface is built in, permitting
spreadsheets to access a potentially unlimited number of files
and recordsor parts of records in those files for user defined
functions, numbers, formulas, text or whatnot. In fact, it has
many of the attributes of a language. Every cell may contain far
more complex formulas than most commercially sold programs, and
indeed may be a complete program with the ability to execute most
command-level spreadsheet commands, though with minor
restrictions.
Merging of multiple sheets, matrix algebra, general function
solving (a la TK!SOLVER, though with a less polished user
interface), and easy document load/unload make this spreadsheet
very significantly more powerful than all but the most elaborate
mainframe packages, and infinitely easier to customize. User
commands may be entered via keyword or function key and are
provided with a comprehensive HELP system permitting users to
individually tailor commands to their needs.
A powerful text integration function permits integration of word
processing files with reports, permitting use of AnalytiCalc
(PortaCalc) to integrate sections of reports which are edited
with any editor. It also simplifies inserting text from external
files flexibly over null cells of the spreadsheet.
This package runs on PDP-11, or on VAX in NATIVE MODE. Versions
have been built for RSX-11M, RSX-11M-PLUS, VMS and RSTS, though
supplied build files are for the RSX and VMS versions only.
Speed of the VAX versions is higher than many of the expensive
commercial VAX versions. An AMIGA and a MS/DOS version of
AnalytiCalc are presented here also.
Several new trig functions and some bulletproofing corrections
have been added to this version, plus some new code speedups.
The ability to call UNMODIFIED FORTRAN callable subroutines (plus
a few hundred example routines) has been added, and performance
for really huge VAX sheets has been improved via better hashing
methods. It is now trivial to add almost any desired
functionality to AnalytiCalc.
SPECIAL HARDWARE: On VAX, screen-independent cursor routines are
used for screen addressing normally. On PDP-11, the software
must be built for the appropriate terminal. Versions of the
UVT100 subroutine for VT100, VT52, Datamedia Elite, and several
other types of terminals including VT100 with Advanced Video and
Colorscan 10 are supplied, with command files for most
combinations. The VT52 versions will show what the minimum
requirements are for control. Most any terminal can be easily
interfaced to the package by editing one of the UVT100 routines
to correspond to the terminal's control sequences, provided
direct cursor addressing is supported.
Release Notes are distributed with each order.
Notes: PDP-11 users see DECUS No. 11-SP-47.
Changes and Improvements: Faster VAX, AMIGA versions. VAX
version can now call any unmodified FORTRAN callable subroutines.

VAX-323 Systems Services Version: March 1988
Submitted by: David N. Mitchell, Information Systems & Networks,
Inc., Durham, NC
Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.5 Source Language: C, VAX FORTRAN
Keywords: System Management - VMS, Utilities - VMS
Abstract: This package contains the following programs:
CRELNM.C The program utilizes system services to create a
logical name and place it in one of the
processes logical name tables. The program
should be passed the name of the logical name
table where the logical will be placed, the
logical name to be set and the equivalence
string to which the logical will be equated.
Three files which are included in the program
are necessary:
. "descrip.h" which holds the structures
of the necessary descriptors.
. "lnmdef.h" which holds definitions for
the logical name flags.
. "psldef.h" which contains the access mode
definition to be used.
The descriptors for the logical name table and
the logical name are set up along with the
single item list in which to return the
equivalence string. A final zeroed out item
list is set up and then the system service to
translate the logical is called followed by an
error message to be printed if the call should
fail.
SNDJBCW.C and The program utilizes system services to submit
GETSJCDEF.FOR command procedures to batch queues. The program
has four parameters passed into it:
. The name of the procedure to be submitted.
. The name of the queue to which it will be
submitted.
. A string containing up to eight arguments to
be passed to the submitted procedure. These
eight parameters must be separated by commas
and the string must be terminated with a
comma. All strings passed to this routine
must be null terminated for use with C
functions. This program was written to be
called by PL/1 and Natural but should work
with most any language as long as the
aforementioned requirements are followed.
This program calls a FORTRAN routine which
includes the necessary definitions for the
send to job controller system service and the
translate logical name system service. The
reason this is necessary is because this
definition file is not available in the C
language. The program sets up the necessary
item list structures and enters the proper
information which includes:
. The queue name logical.
. The procedure file specification logical
(the DCL procedure to be submitted).
. The log file specification.
. No log delete to prevent the log file from
being erased.
. No log spool to prevent the log file from
being printed.
. Job name to set the process name on the
submitted job.
. Eight parameters.
These routines can easily be modified to
include or exclude qualifiers required by a
particular application.
TRNLNM.C The program utilizes system services to
translate logical names. The program is passed
the address of the character array containing
the logical name to be translated. This array
must be declared in the calling program to be
256 characters. This is the maximum possible
length of an equivalence string. If the array
is smaller, there is a possibility of over-
writing other variables in memory. Two include
files are necessary:
. "descrip.h" which holds the structures of
the necessary descriptors.
. "lnmdef.h" which holds definitions for the
logical name flags.
The descriptors for the logical name table and
the logical name are set up along with the
single item list in which to return the
equivalence string. A final zeroed out item
list is set up and then the system service to
translate the logical is called followed by
an error message to be printed if the call
should fail.
Notes: A FORTRAN routine had to be called in order to get the
"Send To Job Controller" MACRO difinitions. Digital Equipment
Corporation has not converted these definition files to the C
Language.
Documentation not available.

Abstract: This package can generate a COBOL subprogram (with a
linkage section) which can be called from an RCO program. The
subprogram will handle all the report logic, including control
breaks, totals, formatting, and creating the actual print file.
Accepts as input four user supplied files which define the report
and the data file record. Validates input files. Handles up to
eight levels of control breaks, with totals available for each
level. Options include:
. At Top of Control Group.
. At Bottom of Control Group.
. At Top of Page.
. At Bottom of Report.
. New Page.
These terms have the same meaning as in DATATRIEVE. Grand totals
are available. Grand totals and "At Bottom of Report" are in
addition to the eight allowable control breaks. Report column
positions are computed automatically, from Layout Chart created
by the user, in any editor. Output program can be edited and
modified, if desired.
The generated subprogram is designed to be called from an RCO
program, once for every database record in the stream.
Notes: Operating system VMS 4.0 and later is required.
Filenames are greater than nine letters.

VAX-326 Protect Version: 1.00, February 1988
Submitted by: Andre Baskin, SYSCON Corp, Williamsburg, VA
Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.5 Source Language: C, MACRO-32
Keywords: Security
Abstract: Protect is a system to protect VMS executables from
attack by computer viruses by detecting any tampering with the
executable done by the virus. A virus is a program which has the
ability to infect other programs by inserting a new section of
code into another program. This new code will cause some harm to
the system (i.e., corrupt data, delete files, etc.). In
addition, the code inserted by the virus will infect other
programs, thus spreading itself throughout the system. Protect
is able to provide protection from computer viruses by signaling
when the executable code of a program has been tampered with in
any way. This is done by using the Protect program to place a
stamp on the executable. This stamp will be used to check for any
changes to the file and will in no way affect the program at run
time. Once the program has been stamped by Protect, there are
two ways in which tampering can be detected. The first method is
to include a call to the function check_program either in the
initialization function used by LIB$INITIALIZE or in the first
line of executable code. This function will return either "1"
which means the program has not been tampered with, or "0" which
means the program has been tampered with. In the case of a
program for which the source code is unavailable, once it has
been stamped by Protect, the program Check can be run and will
set the symbol $STATUS to either "1" if the executable has not
been tampered with, or to "0" if the executable has been tampered
with.

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.

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

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.

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.
