SPRING 1986 RCA SUBMISSIONS

This set of programs has hopefully something for everyone.

Directories and contents are BRIEFLY summarized here. Look at
AAAREADME.1ST, README.1ST, and other manual files and .RNO files
for further information.

[.PCCUNV]	New release of AnalytiCalc. Many bugfixes and new
		features since Fall '85 including more string
		functions, a CHOOSE function, and some internal
		improvements related to storage use. Also the
		AAINSTALL.COM file does installation for VMS and
		command file and program documents are much improved.
		Another late addition is input and output "areas"
		which allow you to connect ANY application or DBMS
		to AnalytiCalc.
			Before you go buying an expensive spreadsheet,
		try this one first. It does generally MORE than the
		expensive ones and is also quite easy on your system.
		It does not need special privileges and can be built
		from source. It introduces NO security holes in VMS.
		Also in this area: DATMG*.* is a complete relational
		DBMS in src. with docs. Dearchive with ARCH and build
		with the .COM files included. (Use a scratch empty
		directory.)
[.PCCVDOC]	Document area (and old VMS version) AnalytiCalc. The
		documents are better done and there's a reference
		card file for a handy reference to all commands and
		functions.
[.PCCOBJ]	Object libraries for AnalytiCalc for those who don't
		have Fortran. You can install from these libraries.
[.VTKERMIT]	New Kermit that didn't arrive in time for Fall '85.
		Runs on IBM PC and knows VT100 emulation, scripts,
		autodial, menus, and both Kermit and Xmodem protocols.
		Complete src included. From Tad Marshall, Bankers Trust.
[.CTOOLS]	DECUS C toolkit area #1. A complete DECUS C kit appeared
		on the Fall '85 RSX tape but pieces are being placed here
		for general interest.
[.CMISC...]	DECUS C toolkit area #2. Many items of general interest.
		Documents for DECUS C tools are generally included in the
		source files. Document extraction tools exist here too.
[.CBIN]		Compiled (VMS native mode almost exclusively) DECUS C
		tools. (They compile in either DECUS C or VAX11C.) Many
		handy functions here, compiled in case you don't have
		the VAX11 C compiler yourself.
[.MISC]			This area contains some useful odds and ends.
		Among them are FORCE (which forces commands onto another
		process's terminal if you have enough privs) modified so
		it works on VMS V4.2, RSX Focal, and LIST, a multicolumn
		lister, with the ASSLUN module needed to get around a
		VAX/RSX bug. If you have a compat mode program crashing
		VAX/RSX V2.0, try linking ASSLUN into it rather than using
		the default one from SYSLIB. This will get around a bug in
		the AME that fails to range check LUN assignments. The
		problem should be resolved in VAX/RSX V2.1 (one hopes).
		FORCE originally appeared on the Fall '83 VAX tapes.
[.NEWVPWMOD]		This area has some modified command files for
		VPW plus some edited sources for the DTC (Desktop Calendar)
		used in VPW. These make it use 4 digit years in its files
		rather than 2 digit years. As a result, the file format is
		compatible with the VAX DTC presented on the Fall '85
		tapes which Charles Garman modified. It is a necessary
		first step to merging the DTC functionality and permits
		the two to coexist, so VPW DTC can be used to check for
		appointments and the like while the Garman flavor of 
		VAX DTC can be used interactively for its superior
		appointment moving and rescheduling capabilities.
			The mods here to .COM files are illustrative of
		customizing VPW and you may prefer them to the originals.
		It's up to you to decide.
[.RIMBIN]	Binaries for RIM DBMS. (Sources are in [.pccunv]datmg*.*)
		so you can run it if you lack compiler. The docs are in
		with the sources and must be de-archived to read them,
		but they're all there.
