11S096 Reese's Pieces Version: October 1986 Submitted by: Frank R. Borger, Michael Reese Medical Center, Chicago, IL Operating System: IAS V3.2 Source Language: FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN IV, FORTRAN IV-PLUS, MACRO-11, REESE BASIC Keywords: Utilities - IAS Abstract: Reese's Pieces is a collection of programs that are used at Michael Reese mostly as operational aids. Some are enhancements or additions to IAS functions, some are RSX-11M programs updated to operate under IAS, some are just fun. Following is a brief summary of highlights: [1,10] Lots of programs, a catchall account. [1,12] The INForm package, updated for version 3.2. [1,16] DUPLEX and XMIT, updated for IAS (term emulators). [1,22] BRU and DSC tape directory pgms, unknown tape listers, tape copy programs, our on-line ROLLIN image mode disk save pgms. [1,25] COOKIE, DAMMIT, HEADACHE, MURPHY and MAY, smart remark pgms. [1,26] Programs to list the external page, software used to generate bootstrap roms for non standard device addresses. [1,30] Programs to help you patch disks, examine FCS file structures, show disk activity, recover lost files, show file attributes. [1,31] Screen based clock, and system display. [1,32] An RSX mail program, updated to run on IAS, (Uses Reese style login info, but could be adopted to regular IAS.) [1,40] Program to list current FCB's in use. [1,2] MRH HELP, help modified to use multiple help files, instead of one large file, so its faster. For a command of AID ZAP, help first tries to use ZAP.HLP, then defaults to MCR.HLP. [1,6] Much of the documentation for packages in Reese's Pieces errors, aids to process error logging reports, and some simple on-line diagnostic aids. [11,13] Contains the sources to HEL, BYE, etc. that were developed to let an MCR based system use the protection features of a PDX system. Passwords, etc. are in the user profile file, with a modified version of the protection code. Also has same login for batch. (Modified task image of pdx is included.) Also includes a catchall task that does some one-line DCL style commands, (DIR,PRINT,etc.) [1,100] *.sys Basic programs used to update the user profile file. *.bas Programs to aid in logging, accounting, etc. pdsupf.vir A virgin file, with only SYSTEM and SCITERMINAL autostart.dat command file for autostarting selected users. Note that we still use an older format of the PDSUPF.DAT file. [351,70] Contains VTL, a VT100 terminal listing program, commands like KED, options for viewing two files, lots more. [351,72] VAX style directory command, short version with multiple entries per line, full version with all file attributes. [351,73] ECR, Editing MCR. MCR with command line editing, much more.
