** SDMENU - Software Distribution Menu ** SDMENU is a VMSINSTAL kit building utility. A couple of logicals help SDMENU work properly: SD$DIR - Points to the location of the SDMENU.COM file and SDMENU.LOG. If you run SDMENU and this logical is not defined, SDMENU will define it for you to the location of SDMENU.COM. SD$ROOT - Points to the location of the software kits. This is a rooted logical. If this is not defined, SDMENU will define the logical using the location of SDMENU.COM. Like most programmers, I dislike documentation so I made sure to fully document the SDMENU utility in SDMENU.HLB (the SDMENU.HLP file is included also). ** TIMESHEET - Timesheet utility ** TIMESHEET.COM is a utility we wrote when we tired of filling out silly timesheets every week. You must be a VT100 to run TIMESHEET. It's also an example of DCL out of control [smile]. TIMESHEET will create an indexed file to track where you spend your time during the week. If you are lucky enough to have a boss on E-MAIL, TIMESHEET can forward a report via MAIL. If the original screen looks familiar, it's because I liked the format of the CALENDER program distributed a while back so I emulated the first screen. ** DEBUG - A command file DEBUG utility ** Unfortunately, is is not a DEBUGGER for DCL. What it does do is check command files for missing labels. In my command files, I always use the following syntax for labels: $label: What DEBUG.COM does is search the selected command file(s) for GOTO's, GOSUB's, /ERROR='s, and /END='s for labels and then confirms that these labels indeed exist in the file. The first time I ran this utility, I was surprised at the number of errors it caught. ** VMSINSTAL.HLP - A help file documenting the VMSINSTAL utility ** After spending four years developing VMSINSTAL kits, I wanted to keep all the callbacks handy and decided to develop VMSINSTAL.HLP. At the time, we were educating many users on just why we wanted to use VMSINSTAL to install our products and this file helped explain the features. After a while it became more of a development tool when I could not remember what callback did what. At any rate, the file grew and has been maintained. It is current (to my best knowledge) up through VMS V5.2. Harrison Spain McDonnell Douglas Manufacturing & Engineering Systems Co. K34-C649-5W 5701 Katella Ave. Cypress, CA 90630 (714) 952-6114
