TOPS10 INTEGRATION TOOLS distribution
Release/Version: 3
27-November-84
The information in this document is dubject to change
without notice and should not be construed as a commitment

Note that beginning with version 3 of the tools tapes,
the tools are distributed in seperate subdirectories under
the primary directory [777,777].
The tape is comprised of two (2) savesets. Saveset
number one is named TENTAPEX, and contains the directory of
the entire tape, and this documentation file on the tapes
contents. The second saveset is named LSMTOOLX, and
contains all of the [INTTOOLS...] directories. In each case
"X" is the version number of this tools distribution.
Note that there are a total of three different format
tapes comprising the tools collection: TOPS10, TOPS20 &
VMS. Typically, a distribution of the tools consists of
EITHER a TOPS10 or TOPS20 tape, and the VMS tape. The
TOPS20 tape contains almost all of the tools, but usually
does not have the binaries for programs which run on VMS.
The TOPS10 tape also includes most tools, but is further
limited to those tools which have filenames six characters
or less (SED, for instance, is not on the TOPS10 tape for
this reason). The VMS tape, in BACKUP format, contains all
tools which run under VMS, including their binaries, as well
as most of the machine readable integration documentation
which is available.
This tape contains in VMS BACKUP format the current
collection of tools in the Integration Tools Clearinghouse,
which is a function of the Integration Program Office of
Digital Equipment Corporation's Large Systems Marketing
Group. These tools are distributed on an "as is" basis;
Digital makes no warrentee as the the correctnes or
operation of any of these tools. All tools are distributed
as received from their various sources, along with any
updates that are made available.
The Tools on this tape are:
1. [777,777,COM20A]: Command file library for TOPS20,
version 1. This implements many of the more common
TOPS20 commands on VMS as .COM command files.
2. [777,777,COM10A]: Command file library for TOPS10,
version 1. Similar to the above command file
library, but for TOPS10 commands.

3. [777,777,LOCATE]: LOCATE Command for TOPS10 -
Simulate the TOPS10 LOCATE command to control
network printing on remote nodes.
4. [777,777,COMPIL]: COMPIL Class Commands for VMS -
This implements the TOPS10/20 commands such as
EXECUTE & COMPIL. This includes the ability to
determine the appropriate language processor for a
given source file, as well as the ability to
conditionally compile the source module(s) when
their creation date is more recent that that of the
relocatable binary file(s).
5. [777,777,REV]: REV for VMS - This is a command
file implementation of the TOPS20 utility REV,
which is used to manage and cleanup disk
directories.
6. [777,777,TVAXV1]: TVAXV1 - TV editor for VMS.
This is an implementation of the editor TV from
TOPS20 (and DTECO from TOPS10) under VMS.
7. [777,777,TVAXV2]: TVAXV2 - version 2 of TVAX.
This also includes TV.COM and TV.CLD,
which are used to implement TV as a foreign
command.
8. [777,777,DISDOC]: CASE STUDY #2: DIS - This is a
set of case study notes from Digital's Information
Systems MIS department, outlining what they
encountered in their move from TOPS10 to VMS over
the preceeding years.
9. [777,777,DUMPR1], [777,777,DUMPR2]: DUMPER
Versions 1 & 2. This is a program that reads both
DUMPER & BACKUP tapes on VMS.
10. [777,777,CONVRT]: CONVRT. This is a FORTRAN
program to read BACKUP INTERCHANGE tapes on VMS.
11. [777,777,TENTAP]: This is a TOPS10 program for
handling ANSI tapes - a convenient transport
mechanism for moving files between TOPS10 and VMS.
12. [777,777,TECO]: TECO DIFFERENCES DOCUMENT - This
is a short outline of the differences between
TOPS-10 TECO & VMS TECO.
13. [777,777,ICIDOC]: CASE STUDY #3:
COBOL/DBMS/TRAFFIC20 - This is another case study
report, on a customer (ICI) who converted a major
application from TOPS20 COBOL/DBMS/TRAFFIC-20 to
VMS COBOL/DBMS/TDMS, with very good success.

14. [777,777,COBOL1]: COBOL DOCUMENTATION & CONVERSION
AIDS. This is documentation on the differences
between TOPS COBOL and VAX-11 COBOL. This saveset
also includes a number of of COBOL routines useful
for doing such conversions, which are referred to
in the documentation.
15. [777,777,SFTOVX]: SFTOVX. This is a set of APLSF
routines to aid in converting APLSF workspaces to
VAX-11 APL workspaces. Documentation includes
information on the various differences between
APLSF and VAX-11 APL
16. [777,777,202VMS] TOPS20-to-VMS user documentation.
This is documentation on some of the use-level
differences between TOPS20 and VMS, including
system commands.
17. [777,777,DSCONV]: 1022/1032 conversion aid. This
tool, submitted by Software House, Inc. for use
with their SYSTEM-1022 product, is used to convert
1022 database definitions to 1032 for use under
VMS. The tools itself runs under TOPS20 and
TOPS10.
18. [777,777,DECNET]: DECnet-10 tools. These tools
aid in the use of DECnet-10 between TOPS10 and VMS.
Included are various patches from a DECnet-10 user.
19. [777,777,TELL10], [777,777,TELVMS]: TELL is a
program for use between TOPS10/DECnet-10 and VMS.
It allows a user under TOPS10 to issue commands
which are executed under VMS on a specified VMS
node.
20. [777,777,EMACS]: EMACS documentation: This is the
documentation file for a VMS version of EMACS which
is commercially available outside of Digital.
21. [777,777,FORTRA]: FORTRAN differences
documentation. This short writeup covers some of
the differences between the two implementations of
FORTRAN which play the largest part in converting
programs, and suggests methods for handling these
differences..le;[777,777,BASICDOC]: BASIC
differences documentation. This covers the
differences between TOPS10 BASIC-10 (and BASIC-20)
ans BASIC under VMS. Suggestions for conversion
tactics are also presented.
22. [777,777,RECOG3]: This is a package which
implements the TOPS20 Command JSYS command line
facility for VMS V3 systems.
Page 4
23. [777,777,CIS]: This is documentation on a usage
accounting package for VMS which is available from
a third party company.
It is expected that when others make modifications,
either in terms of additional functionality or simply bug
fixes, that the new versions be sent back to Digital, so
that the most recent copies will be distributed to others.
The address to send such updates, as well as new tools for
submission to the Clearinghouse, is
