A Collection of Utility Processors and Libraries
for Unisys 2200/ClearPath Mainframes
These items are kept in PKZIPped FTPack format. Download
by clicking on the name; then unZIP, upload to the Unisys as ASCII, and @ADD.
In most cases, a temporary file will be created, with the @USE name UPF$
attached, which you can copy as needed to save. Files will normally include a
<name>/README element.

BK1 and BK2 are long-standing utilities for breakpointing to and from print
files. They have been enhanced with additional options for assigning,
cataloguing, @SYMing, and editing print files with ED, ZIP, TOCED, IPF, or MORE.
-- Originally written by John Walker (FANG). Enhanced by Les Leist.

CPMD can peruse storage and register contents after execution of a Basic Mode
program. Enhancements include latest instructions & ERs, suppressing repeated
lines, 3WAY dumping command (Octal/Fieldata/ASCII), EPR (dump instructions in
Extended Mode format), and FUSION full screen mode. CPMD has been converted
completely to MASM, and will no longer need ASM to assemble some elements.

DMP is a versatile program with numerous commands relating to system, MCT, and
directory information; and utility functions for files and tapes. This version
has been upgraded for the latest MCT, MFD, and Audit Trail structures.
*** Although DMP has commands that work with @COPY,G tapes, DMP does not
support the newer @COPY,G format with more than one track per block. There is
also limited LPF and LEPF support. See DMP/README. ***
(Note: This file will unZIP into DMP.FTP, the file to be uploaded to the Unisys
and @ADDed; and DMP.HTM, a browser-viewable version of the DOC.)

FSED is a general purpose text editor executing in full-screen demand mode on
the Unisys 2200. It allows the user to create or change a symbolic file or
element conversationally. Insertion, deletion, and replacement of text are
allowed. Both ASCII and Fieldata text can be edited.
Although FSED is derived from a long-standing utility, certain options and
defaults differ from earlier versions. Check DOC, @FSED,H, and HELP RLS.
Enhancements for level 4R1 include:
•Support for screens up to 80 X 132.
•Maximum lines in update mode increased from 40,000 to over 216,000.
•Full support for LPFs and LEPFs. Supports SHARED directory.

self-extracting file is produced which can simply be @ADDed by the receiving
site.

PKTGEN$ is a procedure which facilitates the generation of packets in MASM
programs. It provides for cells of whole or partial word length, cell
initialization, and overlapping cells. At the user's option, the packet may be
drawn and the EQUF table listed.

complementary to the EDIT$ routines, they provide for copying characters and
extracting strings or numbers under programmer control.

SDFCOMP can compress source elements and SDF files. This is mainly intended for
maintaining source files on the Unisys, although it can also be used to
compress source before packing with FTPack.

SORTOC is a utility for perusing the table of contents of one or more program
files from a demand terminal. A specially formatted listing, one element per
line, will be output. Various sorting and selection options are available to
specify particular elements to list, display procedure names or entry points,
or generate ECL for each selected element. SORTOC is "read-only" in that it
does not directly modify any input files. Accompanied by UNDELETE.

TOCED is the classic utility used to conversationally edit a program file's
table of contents, including changing element information and deleting or
undeleting elements. Commands are modeled on the original @ED Text Editor (see
DOC or type HELP). TOCED also allows read-only access to the Master File
Directory, system print queues, and elements within a file. If privileged, the
user may delete and requeue print files.
•Enhancements for level 12R6 include the SELECT and COUNT commands.
•Enhancements for level 12R5 include the C option for the QUEUE command,
which allows the accumulation of successive QUEUE calls as another way of
bypassing the 169-file limit. Up to about 6200 files may be retrieved.
•Enhancements for level 12R4 include the QGENF command, which provides
the ability to list queue files directly from SYS$*GENF$ (read access
required), thus bypassing the 169-file limitation of ER SMOQUE$ and allowing a
maximum of over 252,000 files.
•Enhancements for level 12R3 include forward and backward paging, support
for SHARED as well as local MFD, the COPY command for elts or queue files, ON
SNAP mode for most modes, HELP for individual commands, FUSION full screen mode
for output display, full support for all types and sizes of program files (PF,
LPF, LEPF), and a new mode for object module entry points.

UNDELETE is a program to reestablish a deleted element in a program file. It is
a companion program to SORTOC, is based on the same source, and has a similar
display. (UNDELETE comes with the SORTOC package; both point to the same file.)

ZIP is a fast read-only text processor that can read SDF format files and
elements, ALAT and TIP TPM log files, and any 2200 sector-formatted file in
block mode. Records can be selected, sorted, reformatted, and written to a
different output file or element.
•New features in 6R1A include ALAT editing for TIP TPM, SUPUR, and TPUR
log entries; support for larger audit trail blocks; new variable CS$ for
character set; and support for any terminal width from 80-132.
•New features in 6R1 include the ability to read stepcontrol audit
trails, larger file and record maximums, and support for all program file
types.
