- playEngine: sproc/semaphore source implements raising a sub-process's
- priority so as to be able to circumvent preemption.
- playEngine provides a set of routines permitting an audio
- track to be played without interference from operating system
- multitasking activities. sproc (similar to fork) is employed
- to raise the forked sub-process priority high enough so the
- other operating system activities cannot preempt it. The
- main application provides this new process with a pointer to
- the data to be played and starts and stops the process through
- signals and/or semaphores.
-
- scripts: various c-shell scripts created/used by colleagues possibly
- useful to others, if for no other purpose than as examples
- of shell programming source:
- - 11 general-purpose c-shell scripts
- - 11 rcs-specific c-shell scripts

- ! uucpVadmin: now contains inst images as well as src for the UUCP vadmin
- (visual administration) tool. This tool allows the user to
- set up the UUCP files using a Graphical User Interface and make
- sure communication to a modem is good.
-
- tools: contains unix/system-level programs:
- - Lastrev: collects info about revisions and symbols defined
- in RCS files and then prints this information.
- - chktime compares 2 files modification times and returns -1,
- 0 or +1 depending on whether the first file was
- modified before, at the same time, or after the
- second file.
- - getopt enhanced version of the unix system call.
- - gettime: gets last modification time of file and writes it
- to stdout.
- - gpasswd: identical to passwd except this sets the password
- for a group in the /etc/group file.
- - isIn: returns true/false if first parameter is equal to
- any of the other parameters on the command line.
- - listWMres: lists all resources known to the window manager.
- - printf better than the one provided in IRIX 5 because it
- can handle all the standard C types.
- - rcstime: returns the time of the last RCS update in an RCS
- file.
- - strlen: shell-equivalent of strlen(3C) returns the length of
- the string provided on the command line.
- - unique: returns all parameters passed on the command line
- removing any duplicates.
- - vacupd: reads and modifies data in the vacation database
- files.
