Software (mostly VMS)

The following is software I have written and make available. Some of this is public domain, some isn't, but all may be downloaded and used for at least non-commercial use for free. Check individual copyright notices for information regarding further redistribution.

Unix/DOS

Unix stuff has been developed under NetBSD, although almost certainly works elsewhere.

ned.c is a simple text editor for those who can't be bothered with the finickiness of vi and don't like waiting for emacs to drag its dripping elephantine carcass into core just for the sake of making a quick edit to a file. ned was originally written for MS-DOS because I needed a simple editor that would work from a session CTTY'd down a COM port; porting to Unix proved easy. Instructions for compiling and using the editor are included in the source code.

VMS

Use UNZIP.EXE to unpack VMS .ZIP files on a VAX/VMS system. Note that none of these have been tested by me on Alpha systems.

DCLCOMPLETE.ZIP provides filename completion and automatic piping for VMS. I wrote DCLCOMPLETE originally because someone suggested it couldn't be done; it uses a rather ghastly hack to intercept DCL's I/O calls. 8-). Ramon Curiel has hacked on it since, and added more advanced command completion. (Completion of commands was ripped straight out of Joe Meadows' VERB utility.)
DU.ZIP is a utility much like the du command found in that other operating system. This one works by ripping down INDEXF.SYS, and is very fast.
QDSPELL.ZIP is a quick & dirty spelling checker.
PRIMGR.MAR is a priority management program. It works by moving interactive priorities between 3 & 5 depending on execution profile. It was originally written to allow production batch jobs to continue to run (at priority 3) while people were running long compute-intensive jobs at their terminals.
DTE_HAYES.MAR is a dialler for SET HOST/DTE.
IDLE_LED.MAR is a light diddler for a MicroVAX II that displays system load on the rear-panel LED display as a number from 0 (idle) to 9 (fully loaded). Only works on a II. I mean it.

CMU/OpenVMS TCP/IP

The following are additions to the CMU TCP/IP package for VMS:

CSDRV.ZIP is a re-written SLIP driver CMU that incorporates Van Jacobson header compression to improved interactive response.
RLOGIN.ZIP provides the Berkeley rsh & rlogin protocols, both client and server, to VMS/CMU configurations. (No rcp yet.)
Note:RLOGIN has been updated to improve its security. If you are using a previous version of RLOGIN (with servers), please upgrade to this version.
TCPLINK.MAR creates a path between a pseudo-terminal and a TCP port on a remote system. This was riginally intended for running uucp over a TCP/IP link, but could be used for printers etc. Note that it does not to Telnet option negotiation; it just provides a raw stream. Also note that it uses the old PY/TW drivers, which may have to be dug out of an old VMS release.
