This directory contains submissions from: Dr. Adrian Bottoms XDT Computer Consultants 9 The Square Keyworth Nottingham NG12 5JT Great Britain There are two pieces of software for RSX here. MAP.MAC MAP allows you to examine the mapping information for a file MAP.DOC or files. The actual mapping information and the optimal mapping MAP.TSK calculated from the file size. MAP also calculates some other statistics for the file. It will tell you if a file is placed contiguously even if it is not marked as contiguous. A "file traversal length" statistic is given. MAP is useful for examining the state of fragmentation of your disc files. The MAP.TSK image runs under RSX-11M and M-PLUS. The sources for MAP are provided but make heavy use of XDT's macro and object library. Unfortunately I cannot release these to the public domain since they are used in support of proprietry software products. SWATCH.MAC This is a software stop watch for timing the execution of a SWATCH.TSK command line. You use it: SWATCH command_line eg SWATCH pip nl:=du:[*,*] The command_line is spawned to "CLI..." so SWATCH should work for any CLI (MCR, DCL, user_cli). When the command_line exits or emits status SWATCH displays the start time, the end time and, to save your brain, the elapsed time. If you have any problems please contact me. I will provide what assistance I can on a best efforts basis. P.S. If you are puzzled by the GEN sections in the sources, I have a utility which goes through and picks these out and executes them. A primitive, but very useful, form of MAKE.
