PRO161     UTILITIES FOR PRO/RT  Version: April 1987

Submitted by: Earl Chew

Operating System: RT-11 V5  Source Language: MACRO-11, PASCAL
Software Required: NBS PASCAL required to recompile some programs.
Keywords: Utilities - RT-11

Abstract: This is a potpourri of programs written for RT-11.  The
following is a list of the programs offered.
DIRS  A directory listing program which has
  options to automatically search down
  sub-directories and to list creation times
  (TSX compatible).  DIRS.501 provided for
  RT-11 versions without the plain GTLIN
  facility.  /HELP for help.
BUILD  A utility modeled on the UNIX MAKE program.
  It will generate the minimum set of commands
  required to compile a program made up of
  separately compiled program modules (i.e. an
  object module need not be recompiled if its
  creation time is more recent than all its
  sources).  BUILD.501 is provided for RT-11
  versions without the plain GTLIN facility.
  This program has been updated slightly.
TS  A handler which will time stamp files with
  their creation times (TSX compatible).  This
  version will automatically reconfigure
  itself for EIS machines.
DC  A digital clock handler which will display a
  digital clock in the upper right hand corner
  of a VT100 screen.
DWDISK  A winchester disk formatting program
  allowing the user to change the interleaving
  pattern, cylinder spiral and track spiral on
  the disk.  Improvements in speed of 50% have
  been achieved using the standard DW: handler
  and formatting with an interleave of 7.
  This has only been tested on a Pro-350 using
  an RD51 (10MB)) disk.  Also included is a
  program to time disk read operations.
DW  A modified DW: handler recoded for speed
  and compactness.  Average improvements in
  speed of 65% have been achieved using a
  disk formatted by FORMAT.SAV.  The handler
  is 45% smaller than the standard DW:
  handler.  This has only been tested using an
  RD51 (10MB) disk.
EXECUTABLE      The DECUS C Lempil-Ziv data compression
IMAGE  program, tailored for RT-11, and a faster
  version of GREP (makes use of Boyer Moore
  searches) are provided.  The source code for
  these are not included here due to lack of
  space and time.  LZDCMP is required to
  decompress the program.

Notes: Some programs will not work on older versions of RT.

Changes and Improvements: New programs
