All programs and routines are (fully) tested, and believed working under V5.1.
This includes the device drivers and all KERNEL mode code.
I am always interested in (constructive) critisism and correspondance. Included
here is all I could prepare in time.
Languages used are generally C and MACRO. Object files are provided for all C
modules.
All programs are fully commented and complete.


[.DRIVERS]

	A totally re-written version of the pseudo terminal drivers for V5.
	Many bug fixes and efficiency enhancements.
	Now includes DIRECT I/O support, and hooks for new features. See the
	AAAREADME file for a full description of what was done and why.

[.H]

	Automatic way of generating all possible VAX C header files (eg.
	PCBDEF.H) from the VMS supplied MACRO libraries. Extremely useful -
	just re-run when a new release of VMS is issued to generate a new
	STARLET.TLB and LIB.TLB.

[.LASER]

	Complete VMS symbiont and forms library for driving an HP LaserJet+
	as an ordinary VMS print queue.

[.MACRO]

	Lots of KERNEL and USER mode code for doing almost everything to
	someone else (or yourself). eg. create a process dump/traceback under
	program control, set process name, set DCL prompt, deallocate a device
	owned by someone else, change UIC, etc.
	The utilities for creating a process dump (or traceback) from another
	process (without effecting the running process) are VERY useful if you
	write detached servers etc. I believe there is no other tool for doing
	this.

[.MAIL_PROTO]

	Complete MAIL alternate protocol routines as stubs for user
	modification.
	Run it and see. Makes writing your own protocol module for VMS mail much
	more simple.
	Also includes a fully documented MAIL.COM (DCL implementation of
	MAIL-11 V3) and PHONE.COM that uses the PHONE protocol.

[.NETOBJ]

	Example multi-threaded DECnet symbiont that demonstrates a full
	non-transparent task-to-task DECnet object. Runs as a detached process.
	User utility for talking to it also supplied. Generally, it can be
	used as a framework for building your own flavour of network server.
	This is now superceded by the DEC SYS$EXAMPLES:DB_xxx code.

[.PDINIT]

	Utility to manipulate the VMS pseudo disk driver. Simple to use,
	comprehensive and effective. I know there are loads of these, but
	this is my offering!

[.SHOW]

	Example programs that talk to NETACP directly to obtain a SHOW NET
	listing.
	Uses the undocumented QIO interface to NETACP, not NML.
	Oh, all right...I've included an example program that uses the NICE
	protocol via NMLSHR. This is the correct way to talk to DECnet for
	network management, but the documentation is really hard to come by.
	Note that under PhaseV DECnet, NICE will not be used.

[.SP]

	Powerful utility for controlling privilege use for an individual user.
	Very flexible. We have used it for years (the coding style reflects
	that!).

[.SYMBIONT]

	Example C VMS server symbiont that implements a simple REMIND utility.
	Quite fun and totally open to abuse! Complete with VMS HELP files and
	CLI utility.

[.TOOLS]

	Some tools. Things of note are some command files to look at
	the UAF to see if it has been attacked by hackers; a routine to disable
	the CTRL/Y AST trap in DCL (see code for reasons); a PATCH file for
	MONITOR to enable concealed classes; and a command file that sorts your
	QUOTA.SYS file into alphabetical order (safely! - using DISKQUOTA) to
	aid disk maintenance.

[.TPU]

	Complete V5.x version of the EDT initialiser, plus a few extras.
	Brings up EVE (quickly) looking just like good-ol' EDT, complete with
	keypad.
	Many extra features, such as SPAWNing processes, including the output
	from DCL commands in buffers, a very nice way of selecting buffers,
	and all of EVE there too if you want it, including multiple windows
	and fully integrated help. Look at the start of ATG_EVE.TPU for a
	complete description.
	This module is constructed as a "Real EVE Product", and is layered on
	EVE and built with EVE$BUILD as per all VMS V5 requirements. It
	therefore should be compatable with all future versions of EVE/TPU.
	Fully commented and easy to extend.
	All our editing is done with this TPU section.

[.UWD]

	Template User Written Debugger for VMS. From an idea in (I think)
	VAX Pro, but totally re-written to fix many bugs, ommissions and heavy
	duty over-coding.

[.XE]

	MONITOR like utility that displays Ethernet Line Counters via an
	undocumented $QIO interface to the Ethernet 802 drivers. Very useful
	for looking at the results of flood testing or general analysis of
	Ethernet activity. Runs on any VAX with one or more (DEC) Ethernet
	interfaces.

Why is there so little UIS/DECwindows software in the public domain? Coming
soon... UIS tools for font generation/manipulation (conforming to DEC Common
Font File Format), UIS and DECwindows terminal emulators, and any other tools
for windows that I can prepare by the next tape.
