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

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. :(

Not a proper spec, but MIM::DU:[NEWMAIL]NOTES.TXT holds some notes I did about the MAIL-11 protocol, as I have a project to implement something new for this eventually.

Actually, the app-side development staff at work have off this week
