                       DCL Utilities for the VMS Hacker
                       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
                                      By
                                  The Mentor

                       Special thanks to Silver Spy for
                   turning me onto DCL in the first place!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Anyone who spends time hacking on VAXes (by hacking, I don't just mean
trying to get in... I mean *doing* something once you're in!) notices that the
DCL command language is extremely powerful.  I have put together a selection
of utilities that not only should prove helpful to the hacker, but serve as a
good example of programming in DCL.
     Every attempt has been made to preserve unchanged the user-environment
from the initialization of the file to the exit.  Any session-permanent
changes are documented.

                            Brief Overview of DCL
                            >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     There are numerous files out there on DCL (the VMS help files are the
best place to find information), so I'm not going to teach you how to program
in it.  To use the following code, isolate the section of code you want in
your favorite text editor, upload it into a file, and name the file
<progname>.COM.  Anytime you see a file ending with .COM, you know it's a DCL
file.  DCL files are executed by issuing the command
                       $@FILENAME
or, in the case of a file you want to run as a separate process,
                       $SPAWN/NOWAIT @FILENAME

                              Table of Contents
                              >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     1. CD.DOC     :  This is the documentation for CD.COM (and the only
                      documentation file in the bunch.
     2. CD.COM     :  A change directory utility, much like the PC command
                      CD, except more powerful.  $SET DEFAULT is a pain in
                      the ass!
     3. HUNT.COM   :  Searches a specified node for a given user.  Useful
                      for alerting you to the presence of a sysop.
     4. ALARM.COM  :  An alarm clock.  If they check the logs at 8 a.m., you
                      probably want to be off before then.
     5. CGO.COM    :  Included because it's short.  Allows you to compile,
                      link, and run a C program with a one-line command.


     I have about 300 more pages of COM files.  If you need anything, drop me
a line.  I'll try and help out.  I can be found on Forgotten Realm, or you can
call a non-hacker (local to me) IBM game board if it's an urgent message (The
Bastille-- 512/353-0590  300/1200  24 hrs.  It's not the best hacker board in
the world, but my mail arrives daily...)

     Also, if programming of this type interests you, let me know!  I'm
considering putting up a board for the discussion of programming (compilers,
AI/Expert Systems, Op Systems, etc...).  If I get enough positive response,
I'll go with it.  Leave mail on the aforementioned systems.

                                                The Mentor




       CD.COM   Version 5.0   VMS Change Directory Command


       Sub-directories are a nice feature on many computers, but
       they're not always easy to take advantage of.  The VMS
       commands to access sub-directories are a little obscure,
       even to PC programmers who are used to using directories.

       The solution?  CD.COM, a change directory command that works
       almost the same as the PC-DOS CD and PROMPT commands:

          CD              - Display your home directory, current
                            directory, and node name.  (Similar to, but
                            better than the VMS SHOW DEFAULT command.)

          CD dir_name     - Move you to the [dir_name] directory.
          CD [dir_name]     (Same as the SET DEFAULT [dir_name] command.)

          CD .sub_name    - Move you to the [.sub_name] subdirectory.
          CD [.sub_name]    (Same as the SET DEFAULT [.sub_name] command.)

          CD \            - Move you to your home (root) directory, which
          CD HOME           is the directory you are in when you login.
          CD SYS$LOGIN      (Same as the SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN command.)

          CD ..           - Move you to the directory above your
          CD [-]            current directory. (Same as the VMS
                            SET DEFAULT [-] command.)

          CD ..sub_name   - Move you "sideways" from one subdirectory
          CD [-.sub_name]   to another subdirectory. (Same as the
                            SET DEFAULT [-.sub_name] command.)

          CD *            - Select a subdirectory to move to, from a
                            list of subdirectories.

          CD .            - Reset the current directory.

          CD ?            - Display instructions for using CD.

       The VMS SET DEFAULT command has a flaw: you can change
       directories to a directory that doesn't exist.  CD handles this
       more elegantly; you're left in the same directory you were in
       before, and this message appears:

            [dir_name] Directory does not exist!

       PC-DOS lets you display the current directory as part of the
       prompt.  (If you haven't seen this feature, try the PC-DOS
       command PROMPT $P$G.)  CD.COM will change the prompt for you
       each time you change directories if you include this line in
       your LOGIN.COM file:

          DEFINE SYS$PROMPT "ON"

       Without this line, your prompt is not changed from what you
       have it set as.  Instead, your home (root) directory name,
       current directory name, and node name are displayed whenever
       you issue the CD command.

       Since VMS allows prompts to contain no more than 32 characters,
       if you change to a subdirectory that would make your prompt too
       long, CD automatically leaves off some of the higher level
       sub-directories to keep your prompt short, and displays a "*"
       as one of the prompt characters.

       CD lets you use directory names defined with with the DEFINE
       command.  For example, if you're in one of Dr. Smiths' CS3358
       classes, you might want to define his CS3358 assignments
       directory like this:

          DEFINE SMITH "DISK$CS:[CS.SMITH.3358]"

       Then, CD SMITH would move you to this directory.  Try it!
       Also, some directories are already defined by the system.
       The SHOW LOGICAL command will give you clues to some of these
       system directories, if you want to go exploring.  CD also
       supports the use of symbols for directory names.

       Like with PC-DOS, VMS directories and sub-directories are tree
       structured.  The system root directory for your disk has the
       name [000000], and in it are the names of all the sub-directories
       for your disk.  The directories for an imaginary user, CS335825305,
       would be located like this:

  System Root Directory:
                                  [000000]
                               .   .   .   .
  CS3358 Directories:    .        .     .        .
                   .             .      *.             .

       If you're not using sub-directories, but want to, you can
       create them with the CREATE command:

           CREATE/DIR  [.sub_name]

       VMS allows directories to be seven or eight levels deep, but
       one or two levels is enough for most users.

       VMS also allows the symbols < and > to be used instead of
       [ and ], to specify directory names. CD fully supports this.
