additional information. Thanks go to Jeff Corbett, the author of DYNPRI.MAC - from which BIGBRO stems, and to Dr. James B. Wilkinson, MACRO wizzard, for their work and permission to submit BIGBRO to the RSTS SIG. 2. MENU.BAS A simple menu program that saves your RSTS system from extra CCLs and/or DCL LOGIN.COM overhead. For example, a user may type "ME/7" in order to run the 7th item in his or her menu instead of having to type something like "RUN DM3:[112,203]AR04AK.SAV". 3. TIMECH.BAS Time change is a BASIC-PLUS program that switches the RSTS system time from standard time to daylight-savings time, or from daylight- savings time to standard time, at the right time! Once started, it takes care of this twice-a-year chore forever. 4. STRSW.BAS + .COMs Student Terminal Room Switcher disables the terminals (after issuing warnings) in Erskine's Student Terminal Room at the proper closing time and enables these terminals at the next Student Terminal Room opening time. See the program listing and .COM files for additional details. 5. SAVBCK + .COMs + .CMDs SAVBCK is a BASIC-PLUS program with associated .COM and .CMD files that allows Erskine's third-party back-up package to automatically perform two tape back-ups per day Monday through Friday. Each batch job queues itself either to run tomorrow on Monday through Thursday, or to run on Monday if it's Friday. A person must feed the tape drive some tapes, the rest is automatic. This program set will be useful to anyone who wants to use batch jobs to automate any repeating task, not just back-up. 6. SLIDE.BAS SLIDE is a BASIC-PLUS program that is used to produce lecture slides on a VT220 or VT100 terminal from information that is stored in a text file. Various special symbols in the text file instruct SLIDE to display the text in double-wide/double-high characters, in double- wide characters, or in normal characters. The text of "RSTS HINTS" (San Francisco DECUS session RS004) is included as "DECUS.TXT" so you can test SLIDE.BAS as well as have a copy of the "RSTS HINTS" information. See the program listing for more information. (This program was submitted to the Spring '86 Dallas RSTS SIG tape copy. Only the file DECUS.TXT has changed since then.) 7. CALL.BAS CALL is a BASIC-PLUS program that "hooks" to CONNEC for "reaching out and touching someone's" CPU. CALL is a simple version of DIALER. CALL expects a "smart" modem on a particular KBn: line. CONNEC.BAS and DIALER.BAS are on RSTS distribution tapes/disks with the un- supported programs. (This program was submitted to the Spring '86 Dallas RSTS SIG tape copy. One minor bug has been fixed since then.) 8. EC's TYPE TYPE.RTS is a run-time system that only takes 1K plus 1K per user in order to type out text files on one's terminal. Included are TYPE.RTS and all .MAC sources as well as ATPK command files for compiling and linking TYPE. See TYPE.DOC for further details. Thanks go to TYPE's author, Dr. James B. Wilkinson, for its release to DECUS. (This program was submitted to the Spring '86 Dallas RSTS SIG tape copy.) Questions and comments are welcome. Send them to: W.
