I'm starting a new job. Part of that is being trained on their application that I'll be supporting.
The training will be taking place in the office in London.
For all of you EU-ers who'll be in London, near London or within reasonable travel distance to London the week of June 3rd contact me off-list. I'd love the chance to meet up with people.

Yes, both V1 and V2. And MIM serves anyone connected with MOP if they request it.

I've built an RSX system (Yipee :-) I've even figured out how to VMR it
if I change the configuration or move it to another device. Cool!
In [6,54] there's a BRUSYS.SYS which I'm guessing is supposed to be a
standalone BRU system. I can boot it on my original disk and it works
great, but if I copy the contents of [6,54] to another drive then it doesn't
work anymore. I can still boot it, but it no longer knows about any tasks
(e.g. BAD, BRU, etc). I'm guessing that it needs to be VMR'ed in its new
home so that it can find the task files on the new disk.
But what's the procedure for doing this? For the real system there's a
RSX11M.TSK file in [1,54] as well as a SYSVMR.CMD file that you use to
actually build the bootable system. Where's the command file for VMRing
BRUSYS? And what's the unconfigured system that you start from? And what's
the VMRM64.TSK file in [6,54] for (I'm guessing it has something to do with
all this)?
Thanks,
Bob
I have it. I will put it online when I get to my desk in about an hour.

All of them works on a vanilla RSX system, but none of them are distributed with RSX.

All of these can be found on MIM::DU:[4,54] unless stated otherwise.
Let me know if you are interested in sources, as I usually have those
as well, but in various places.
COD - Convert files to/from plain text files. Useful when you want to
transfer files over a network where various file attributes might not
be preserved.
DOB - Disassemble object files.
EDTACD,EMAACD,EXP - Get line editing both at the CLI prompt and in
programs. Also gives you filename expansion in the CLI. EDTACD have
EDT-like keybindings, while EMAACD have EMACS-like bindings. EXP is
the task that helps with the filename expansions.
ERR - Given a number, gives the error symbol and explanation. Both for
DSW, QIO results, FCS and RMS. Can also be fed symbol names, and gives
you the numeric value.
FINGER/CHFN - A finger (see Unix) like system.
GREP - Similar to the Unix tool. Can also search from stdin as well as
redirect stdout to a file.
MKE/MKERES/MKEFSL - A make program in the same style as Unix make.
This one is patterned on BSD make.
ORC - Disassemble object files.
RNO - Bonner Lab RUNOFF, with some fixes by me.
SPELL - Spell checker (from DECUS)
SRD - The well known directory program, with Y2K updates and fixes by me.
SYM - A program to extract symbol information from object files or STB
files.
TAIL - Similar to Unix tail.
TEC - TECO V40 for RSX (fixed by me).
TECKEN - A simple character display program. Type text, and see what
really comes through.
TIN - Task Information. Check various bits of information about task
files.
TPC/BIGTPC - The DECUS Tape copy program.
UPTIME - Show uptime, load and name of system.
USH - Unix style pipes in RSX. Inspired by the PIPE command in VMS.
VTL - The DECUS program to view files in a nice way.
I hope some people might be interested/find them useful. Some of them
works equally well in both 11M and M+, but some are very M+ only.

I'm guessing these are additions to RSX-11M/M+ as one of them is GREP which definitely isn't a standard DEC tool :)

Hi,
I know there had been discussion before about bringing these two together. Although, I must admit that I didn't pay too much attention to what went on, just that I don't think it happened. So, tell me to get lost if this has been suggested or if nobody cares...
Now that we have Cisco routers and DECbrouters on the network, has anyone considered connecting a GRE tunnel into their network and then using the DECnet address translation gateway in IOS to map their network to an area we allocate specifically for them. That way there is no merging as such, just a bit of "gluing".
To make a short follow up on this. I have not heard anything from our
Italian friends, and I think one big reason why this have never happened
is that there never seem to have been a big interest in it.
Sorry, but it's not something I have any power over. :-(
Aww. :(
