Login enhancement utilities
---------------------------
This archive contains a set of utilities and associated files and scripts
that I use to improve my OSK environment. All are in daily use under OSK v2.4.
help - replaces the standard utility. It has been extended to provide
help for scripts and is compatible with the standard shell as well
as sh and pd_ksh. It provides better error diagnosis when you
ask for help on a module which is neither script nor executable.
initvdu - Used to program the function keys on a suitable terminal (VT100
or wyse for instance) from the 'is' capability in termcap and to
allow specified termcap capabilities to be accessed from within
a script.
launch - Fits between tsmon and the Microware shell. It implements an
association between a port name and the terminal type attached
to it. Using this allows a single login name to work correctly
from any terminal - something that is not possible using the
standard shell. It also copies the correct uMacs key bindings
file (.umacsrc) for the terminal and, for convenience, sets
PATH if required.
Launch is unnecessary if you use sh or pd_ksh as all this can be
done from the profile file.
The other items in the archive are:
cls - This script implements the DOS 'cls' command using 'initvdu'. It
contains help text suitable for use with the enhanced 'help'.
config - This is a copy of my launch configuration file as an example.
Modify it to suit your setup and then copy it to /dd/sys.
emacsrc.* These are my bindings files for me 3.9. They work with
launch/Microware shell, sh, and pd_ksh. Install emacsrc.root
in each home directory as .emacsrc and put the others in /dd/sys.
Each time me is started emacsrc.root does initial setup and then
reads the correct terminal-specific file.
umacsrc.* These are my bindings files for Microware uMacs. They should be
put in /dd/sys. launch will copy the appropriate one at login.
This archive does not contain sources at present. If you all consider these
utilities to be useful a future release will contain source when any problems
I've not smoked out are fixed.
