Western Kentucky University Fall 1991 DECUS VAX SIG Submission January 12, 1992 All submitted programs by: Hunter Goatley VMS Systems Programmer Western Kentucky University Academic Computing, STH 226 Bowling Green, KY 42101 Voice: 502-745-5251 E-mail: goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET [.BAT] BAT lets you quickly and easily submit multiple commands to batch queues without creating temporary command files. For example, $ BAT DEL *.TXT;*|RENAME *.TMP *>TXT submits a batch job that sets its default directory to the one current at the BAT command, deletes all .TXT files, and renames all .TMP files. Source: BLISS-32, but MACRO-32 sources also provided [.CVTLIS] CVTLIS converts CD-ROM VMS source listings back to .B32, .MAR, or .C files for easy reading. Source: MACRO-32 [.DCL_RECALL] DCL_RECALL is a program that will apply my DCL command recall patch to DCL.EXE. It works for *all* versions of VMS. The patch allows the DCL RECALL command to recall as many as 62 commands, instead of the default 20. Source: MACRO-32 [.GETCMD] GETCMD lists the DCL command recall buffer for any process on the system. Source: MACRO-32 [.JNET_LINKWATCH] JNET_LINKWATCH runs as a detached Jnet process that checks link connections and reports link failures via operator alarms and optional mail messages. Requires Jnet to run. Source: BLISS-32, but MACRO-32 sources also provided [.RCARD] RCARD reads DECwindows CardFiler files and displays them on normal VT terminals (non-X terminals). Works with DECwindows and Motif v1.0. Source: VAX C (can also be compiled with GNU C) [.SET_PRCNAM] SET_PRCNAM allows you to set the process name for any process on the system. Source: MACRO-32 Internet/BITNET sites can retrieve many other programs via e-mail by sending e-mail with the body HELP and DIR ALL (on separate lines) to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET. The following lists all packages available as of January 12, 1992: ================================================================================ FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET Western Kentucky University Last updated: 2-JAN-1992 21:00 ================================================================================ The following VMS programs and files are available from the Western Kentucky University file server (FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET). To retrieve one or more packages, send e-mail with the body consisting of the following command: SEND package-name Multiple commands may be specified by putting each command on a separate line. In addition to SEND, HELP and DIR are also supported. For more information on a particular package, send DIR package-name.
