GBOSS, UTILITIES, Log in multiple times on a single serial-line terminal BOSS V5.2@Ported to AXP by Malcolm MacArthur .9Ported to IA64 by Hunter Goatley HThis distribution was created by Hunter Goatley Kand includes .OBJ files for Alpha and VAX (both using the PTD$ routines and+the old TW devices used prior to VMS V5.5).AThis is BOSS V5.2. A couple of minor changes were made to BOSS.C=to allow the code to build and run on OpenVMS IA64 (Itanium). Hunter Goatley, August 22, 2004.EThis is BOSS V5.1. A bug in the routine to handle /STUFF_STRINGs wasDfixed and the code was cleaned up to allow clean compiles using bothIVAX C and DEC C (without /STANDARD=VAXC) by Hunter Goatley, September 25,1996.(----------------------------------------7[readme file amended by M.McArthur@dct.ac.uk 02-May-94]AThis is BOSS version 5.0 (May 2nd, 1994). It consists of 6 files BOSS.README This file% BOSS.HLP The user help file BOSS.C The source code6 BOSS_CLD.CLD The command language definitionsB BOSS_BUILD.COM The procedure for compiling and linking BOSS7 BOSS_INSTALL.COM The procedure for installing BOSSHBOSS requires that pseudo TTY (PTY) drivers be installed on your system.HThis should be the latest version posted to INFO-VAX by Kevin Carosso inGAugust 1988. This is recommended version for both VMS 4.x and VMS 5.0.EContact me if you need a copy of the PTY drivers. Alternatively, BOSSDwill run with the FTdriver. It is currently set up to do so, but canKuse the PY/TW driver combo instead; just edit the compile time conditional.KAlpha users please note that the only pseudo terminal drivers available areNthe FTdriver ones. BOSS is set to automatically use these if you are compilingon an AXP system.JIf you plan to use BOSS/UW (to get multi-window operation on a Macintosh),Ayou will need the UW terminal emulator. I can send you that too.IYou should edit BOSS_INSTALL.COM to refer to the directory where BOSS.EXEHresides. BOSS should be installed with both PHY_IO and OPER privileges.DYou can get by without these privileges--see the comments in BOSS.C.OPlease note that you must edit BOSS_INSTALL.COM to reflect the location of the BOSS executable on your system.4BOSS needs to be defined as a foreign command, i.e.," $ BOSS == "$:[]BOSS"BOSS.HLP tells the user to do $ SETUP BOSSIbefore running BOSS. SETUP on our system runs a .COM file which does theJnecessary initialization for various utilities. You will probably need toBedit BOSS.HLP to insert the incantation appropriate for your site.EBOSS.HLP should of course be installed in some easily accessible helplibrary. Something like- $ LIBRARY/HELP/REPLACE HLP$LIBRARY_1 BOSSshould do the trick. Charles Karney ?

If you find any bugs, please tell me.C I haven't been able to test it with the Unix Windows software, andHI can't (we don't have Macs or Amigas here...) so if it falls down with 2either of those two, you're on your own. Sorry :-(H I'm not a system administartor or anything; just a first year computingOstudent. So I haven't been able to test whether it'll work properly with PHY_IOFand OPER privileges. Don't blame me if it trashes your system disk :-)I On the whole it seems to work. This version will compile on bothVAX and AXP systems. Enjoy! -Malcolm.--2Malcolm MacArthur M.McArthur@zippy.dct.ac.uk2My views are not my own.

There are too many VersaTerm features that I need whichare absent in UW.CI've only implemented the most basic level of UW service under BOSSJ(protocol 1 in UWPROTO.TXT). The next level allows windows to be retitledIfrom the VAX, as well as setting many of the other attributes of windows.FThis will most likely not get implemented, unless multi-window supportappears in VersaTerm.IThe main reason for implementing the UW features in BOSS was to show thatJthe Macintosh can provide a multi-window enviroment for the VAXes.
