K M S K I T V 3 . 2 U P D A T E # 2 0 4 - N O V - 8 0 The files on [344,*] represent an update and addition to KMSKIT for RSX11M V3.2 BL26. It is assumed that the user has the required previous files as found on the FALL and SPRING 1980 RSX SIG DECUS tapes. Contents of each UIC are described in detail in README.1ST files on each UIC. Documentation is in RUNOFF format, and generally .DOC files are also provided. [344,43] A new version of POOL which prints out a list of active tasks for the user to select for aborting. Two neat privileged tasks to help with pool and core allocation and to provide another level of task control. [344,45] A new version of KMS BATCH, rewritten to use SPAWNING. Does not require a special HELLO/BYE to work. Also a multi-stream Batch-like despooler, PDQ, which uses the new Queue Manager. [344,51] LDLIB routines. Routines providing transient resident libraries for RSX11M. Using PLAS, resident libraries (F4PRES, BP2RMS) will load into core when a task is run and leave when the task exits. [344,52] Documentation for QMG/LPP/QMGCLI send/receive packets. Can be made to create an insert for the Mini-Ref. [344,60] A slightly newer version of CCL. Literally more 'bells' and 'whistles'. [344,66] Performance measurement tools which use the hooks provided by the KMS Accounting System. As always, I enjoy hearing from users who are who have implemented various parts of KMSKIT, and will provide help as needed if difficulties arrise. I am still anxious to get comments and suggestions back on the KMS System Accounting package. User written analysis programs are more than welcome. KMSKIT will be supported through RSX11M V4.0, and I am now in the process of taking suggestions for the next release of KMSKIT. Sincerely, Jim Downward KMS Fusion, Inc. P.O.
