HI VAX PEOPLE: I HAVE WRITTEN 2 COMMAND FILES THAT I THINK MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR MY USERS. I THOUGHT SOME OF YOU MIGHT LIKE THEM FOR YOURSELVES OR YOUR SYSTEMS, SO HERE THEY ARE: 1) old.com = mail file compress and delete old mail file 2) q.com = delete entry from any que Also 2 questions:1) Does anyone have the source code to COOKIE and a sequential copy of the input file? Cookie is a program that when called, prints a short fortune cookie fortune. 2) How about the source code or executable for DECWAR? This gem is a multi-terminal advanced star trek game that I know runs on a DEC-10 under TOPS-10, but I want one to run under VMS. --------------------------------CUT AT THIS LINE------------------------------- $! old.com $! command file to compress current mail file and create a new compressed $! version. Then, compare file sizes of mail.old and mail.mai $! after which the mail.old file(s) are erased. $ mail compress exit $ dir mail.old,.mai $ del mail.old;*/noco/nolog $ pur mail_comp.log/nolog --------------------------------CUT AT THIS LINE------------------------------- $! q.com $! command file to delete an entry from any que $! set up as a foreign command (ex: qu:=="@sys$public:q") $ SH QUE $ INQUIRE NUM "ENTER ENTRY NUMBER FOR JOB TO KILL" $ INQUIRE Q "ENTER QUE NAME" $ DEL/ENTRY='NUM' 'Q' $ SH QUE $ EXIT ------
