VD3:[VAX91B.DECUSERVE_TAPES.1991_B.CONNEX]AAAREADME.FIRST;1 CONNEX External Dialup Connection Control Facility The CONNEX program is a rather crude hack of the DECUS UUCP UUCICO program. It manages dialup connections to external systems using a system and port database and scripting facility similar to that used by UUCP. It allows the user to use his own choice of technique for the actual data transfer. It is designed with automated batch transfers in mind. See CONNEX.RNO for details.

At startup, it creates one logical name per menued application (ITEM_application) and one per username (USER_username) in its own logical name table. VD3:[VAX91B.DECUSERVE_TAPES.1991_B.MEMO]AAAREADME.FIRST;1 Submission Title: MEMO Submitter/Author: Jack Harvey c/o GWA Information Systems 1432 Main Street Waltham, MA, 02154 Telephone (617)890-1838 Abstract: MEMO stores a small amount of your data in the Access Control List (ACL) of a VMS ODS-2 disk file. It allows attaching (pasting on, so to speak) additional information about the file, or the environment of the file, without disrupting the normal file data or structure. The file may be any VMS/RMS supported type. For example, the auxiliary data might declare something special about the file: "This file used for acceptance testing of PAYROLL II at Acme Bootstraps, on 3-Jan-91". Or, "Received from Paris office, 3/9/91". Data may be stored as ASCII strings as in these examples, or in binary expressed as decimal or hexadecimal values. Data can be in multi-field mixtures of these. VD3:[VAX91B.DECUSERVE_TAPES.1991_B.NEWHELP]AAAREADME.FIRST;1 NEWHELP Screen-Oriented Help for Character Cell Terminals This program uses an SMG window to provide scrolling help text from the system help library. It works very much like the normal VMS help command, but does not support any command line qualifiers. Prev-Screen and Next-Screen scroll through the text. PF1-Prev-Screen and PF1-Next-Screen scroll to the top and bottom of the text. The command line prompt is a little different from that in the standard HELP command, but is easy to use with command line editing. Broadcast message are trapped and displayed on the bottom of the screen. NEWHELP must be defined as a foreign command. A DCL command similar to the following will replace the standard HELp command with NEWHELP: $ h*elp :== $NEWHELP George Merriman Cambridge Computer Associates New York City merriman@camb.com VD3:[VAX91B.DECUSERVE_TAPES.1991_B.TK-LABELS]AAAREADME.FIRST;1 Submission Title: TK-LABELS Version 1.1 28-Sep-1991 Submitter/Author: Jack Harvey GWA Information Systems (617)890-1838 Abstract: TK-LABELS converts a simple editor text file into an LN03 print file to produce a sheet of labels for the TK50/TK70 cartridge. It prints a grid of fine lines to guide cutting the sheet into individual slips that will fit the cartridge label window. The text, which is variable length and may contain up to eight lines, is attractively centered in the window. There are up to 33 labels per sheet, printed on ordinary stock paper. The printer used must be an LN03 (or compatible) but does not require any advanced features, such as Post Script. Computer and O/S Version Information: VAX/VMS, any version from V4.7 VD3:[VAX91B.DECUSERVE_TAPES.1991_B.UAI]AAAREADME.FIRST;1 AAAREADME.TXT This submission contains two different programs that allow a DCL command file to easily determine what the actual login.com file is for a VMS account. This is the content of the LGICMD field of the record in the user authorization file, SYSUAF.DAT, for the account. Both programs execute very quickly and return the content of LGICMD as a DCL symbol, UAI_LGICMD. The first, UAI_LGICMD.MAR, is a bare minimum program which assembles and links to produce a small (5 blocks) executable image. It works only for the current process. It is simply run, with no arguments. The second program, UAI_LGICMD.BAS, is a more sophisticated program which defines the same DCL symbol, but can also be executed as a foreign command and takes an argument. The argument is a username in the authorization file. If the executing account has SYSPRV, the program will return the content of LGICMD for any account in SYSUAF.DAT.
