5 Various OpenVMS tools and utilities are available at:
G OpenVMS ports of the xmcd and MPlayer tools have also been reported as
available. d 13.2 Where can I find UNIX tools for OpenVMS?
G There is an OpenVMS DCL and UNIX shell command comparison table posted at:
\E lex, yacc, grep, tar, uuencode, uudecode, rcs, man, cpio, make, awk, H ar, mail, etc., the POSIX shell, the POSIX C programming interface, etc.
E POSIX utilities can be used from within the POSIX shell, and via the ( DCL `POSIX/RUN POSIX$BIN:tool.' command.
F POSIX is a separately-installed package, and is licensed with OpenVMS G V5.5 later. The POSIX installation kit is included on the consolidated B distribution CD-ROM kit, and installation kits are also available separately.
G The POSIX package is no longer supported on OpenVMS, components of the C POSIX standard such as parts of the POSIX API are being added into H OpenVMS. Versions of POSIX generally do not operate on V7.x OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha releases. = 13.2.2 C system and library routines
G Common C system and library routines are present in the DEC C run-time G library, which is available for V5.5 and later, and is shipped in V6.1 G and later. DEC C is the upgrade for VAX C, DEC C and VAX C can coexist A on the same system OpenVMS VAX system, and both compilers can be enabled via the "C" license PAK.
H Also see SYS$EXAMPLES:, and (if either is installed) the DECW$EXAMPLES: ; and TCPIP$EXAMPLES (or prior to V5.0, UCX$EXAMPLES:) areas. G 13.2.3 X Windows utilities and routines
H Various X Windows utilities are available for DECwindows. DECwindows is B an implementation of the X Windows environment and libraries, and E provides various libraries, and provides various desktop interfaces, including COE, Motif, and XUI.
H xwd, xev, mosaic web browser, xrdb, bmtoa and atobm, xpr, ico, etc. are E available. Look in DECW$UTILS: in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 and later. 5 Also see DECW$EXAMPLES: for example X and C programs.
F Miscellaneous tools and examples are also available. Examples include F the older DWAUTH (X Windows SYSUAF authorize-like tool) tool, various H versions of grep, fgrep, yacc, vmstar, uuencode, gawk, etc. html tools, H the mx SMTP mail exchange package, X windows flight simulator, the mxrn G X windows news reader, the OSU HTTPD WWW server, a WWW gopher browser, 3 etc. are all on the various Freeware distributions. P 13.2.4 TCP/IP Tools and Utilities for OpenVMS?
E TCP/IP Services (formerly known as UCX) contains tools such as ping, * uuencode, smtp, snmp, rcp, nfs, tnfs, etc.
F OpenVMS V6.2 and later includes DCL-integrated support for various IP A tools, with commands such as SET HOST/TELNET, and COPY/FTP. This E interface requires the installation of an IP stack, and UCX V3.3 and H later as well as any current third-party IP stack can be used. Once the F IP stack is installed and configured, the DCL command qualifiers such B as /FTP, /RCP, /RLOGIN, /TELNET, and /TN3270 are available on the various DCL commands.
H Various C programming examples in TCPIP$EXAMPLES and (on releases prior to V5.0) in UCX$EXAMPLES:. 3 13.2.5 The vi text editor

F As of this writing, (older) versions of the PL/I run-time library and D associated supporting images remain available on OpenVMS VAX and on , OpenVMS Alpha, including the DECmigrate VEST I translated images run-time support on OpenVMS Alpha, though neither the / PL/I shareable image nor the DECmigrate (AEST) H translated image support for the PL/I run-time are available (from HP) ' on nor present on OpenVMS I64 systems. F Newer versions of the PL/I run-time library may be (are?) available G from Kednos for various OpenVMS platforms; please contact Kednos for # product details and availability.
dB Mozilla.org is an open source organization providing HTML-related F tools; software that is the basis for various utilities including the Mozilla web browser.
F OpenVMS Engineering is continuously porting Mozilla.org's web browser D to OpenVMS, and OpenVMS ports of the current Mozilla baselevels and B releases are available. The OpenVMS Mozilla port includes the web H browser, the mail client, the Composer HTML editor, an IRC chat client, 1 a netnews (NNTP) reader, and various other tools.
A The Mozilla web browser download and the development and release H schedules for this and for other Mozilla-related tools are available at:
A The available Compaq Secure Web Browser (CSWB) kit is a packaged # version of the Mozilla Web Browser.
G A hardware configuration appropriate for Mozilla generally involves an E OpenVMS Alpha system with an EV56 Alpha microprocessor, or an EV6 or D more recent processor, and with 256 megabytes of system memory. The E performance of Mozilla on EV5-based and earlier Alpha microprocessor E systems is generally viewed as inadequate, this due to the extensive D use of an Alpha instruction subset that is first available with the EV56 microprocessor generation.
) Mozilla is not available for OpenVMS VAX.
H Various versions of the Netscape Navigator web browser are based on the Mozilla code-base.
i See section Section 13.9 for information on various certificates for A the Netscape Navigator V3.03 web browser; certificates that have presently expired. ] 13.5 Where can I get Java for OpenVMS?
G Java is available on and is included with OpenVMS Alpha, starting with B the OpenVMS Alpha V7.2 and later releases. Java download kits are 4 available for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 and later releases.
D Java is not available on OpenVMS VAX. As for why: the Java language F definition requires a floating point format (IEEE) that is not native C to VAX, and this would require the emulation of all floating point H operations within Java applications. Further, the C source code used to H implement for Java itself is heavily dependent on passing IEEE floating D point values around among the many internal subroutines, and adding F support for VAX would entail changes to the HP C compiler for OpenVMS H VAX---and specifically to the VAX VCG code generator that is used by HP ? C on OpenVMS VAX systems---in order to add support for passing D IEEE-format floating point doubles around. Alternatively, extensive B changes to the Java source code to remove the assumption that the ' double is an IEEE floating point value.
E There are currently no plans to make a version of Java available for G OpenVMS VAX. (A prototype version of Java was created for OpenVMS VAX, 5 and performance was found to be inadequate. At best.)
G If Java2 or other environment lifts the requirements for IEEE floating ? point as part of the language definition, this decision may be revisited.
H If you are having problems with Display Postscript, you need to upgrade E your Java kit---1.2.2-3 and later remove the requirement for Display C Postcript extensions, and Java 1.2.2-3 is required with DECwindows V1.2-6 and later.
E For additional information on Java for Alpha systems, please see the ? OpenVMS documentation (V7.2 and later), and the following site:
D HP Secure Web Server (SWS, formerly CSWS) includes CSWS_JAVA, which D provides the following Apache Tomcat technologies: JavaServer Pages E 1.1, Java Servlet 2.2, and MOD_JK. Also available is CSWS_PHP, a PHP C implementation. (SWS is based on the Apache web server. See SOFT1.) c 13.6 Obtaining user input in DCL CGI script?
H If you choose to use the GET method, then the form data is available in 3 the DCL symbol QUERY_STRING, in URL-encoded format.
E If you use the POST method, then you need to read the form data from E stdin. For a DCL CGI script running under the Netscape FastTrack web ? server, you can read the data using the following READ command:
|
" $ READ SYS$COMMAND postdata |
to read the information in.
A The following describes the use of DCL command procedures as CGI scripts with the OSU web server:
H DCL CGI is also discussed in the Writing Real Programs in DCL book, and in the Ask The Wizard website. oG To have a batch procedure retrieve its own batch entry number, use the following:
|
" & $ Entry = F$GETQUI("DISPLAY_ENTRY", - / "entry_number","display_entry","this_job") |
E Remember that the entry numbers issued by the OpenVMS Job Controller G are always opaque longword values. Do not assume you know the E format of the entry number, nor the range of entry numbers you might G see, nor the algorithm that is used to assign enty numbers. You should ' simply assume opaque longword. i 13.8 How do I convert to new CMS or DTM libraries?
F A change was made to the format of the CMS database for CMS libraries C starting with V3.5-03---to ensure that earlier versions of CMS are A unable to access the database once the "conversion" to E V3.5-05 and later is made, you must issue the following two commands E when upgrading from V3.5-03 and prior. (The only differences between F CMS version V3.5-03 and CMS version V3.5-05 involve changes to ensure D that no earlier version of CMS can access the "converted" database, and corrupt it.)
H To perform the "conversion", issue the following commands for each CMS library present:
|
" ) $ RENAME disk:[directory]00CMS.* 01CMS.* ' $ COPY NLA0: disk:[directory]00CMS.CMS |
C The new file 00CMS.CMS must have the same security settings as the H 01CMS.CMS file, and is created solely to ensure continued compatibility F with tools that expect to find a 00CMS.CMS file (eg: various versions . of the Language-Sensitive text editor LSEDIT).
G If you choose to install and use the longer variant names support that @ is available with CMS V4.1 or later, you cannot mix earlier CMS A versions within a cluster. If you attempt to mix older and newer versions, you will typically F see the following BADLIB and BADTYPSTR error sequence when accessing - the CMS library from the older CMS versions:
|
" : %CMS-F-BADLIB, there is something wrong with your library < -CMS-F-BADTYPSTR, header block type is 145; it should be 17 |
E Please see the CMS V4.1 release notes for additional details on this.
F To perform the equivalent "conversion" for DEC Test Manager D (DTM) V3.5 and prior versions to V3.6 and later versions, issue the 4 following DCL commands for each DTM library present:
|
" ) $ RENAME disk:[directory]00DTM.* 01DTM.* ' $ COPY NLA0: disk:[directory]00DTM.DTM |
H Like CMS, this change is intended to prevent older versions of DTM from G accessing newer libraries, and corrupting the contents. Like CMS, once F the libraries are renamed, they cannot and should not be renamed back F to the older names; like CMS, the changes are not downward-compatible.
E To convert version 1 (ancient) DTM and CMS libraries forward, please 1 see the DTM CONVERT and the CMS CONVERT commands. t 13.9 Where can I get new certificates for Netscape Navigator?
E The URLs that are available for adding or updating root certificates are:
G To update certificates in Netscape Navigator V3.03 on OpenVMS, use the following:
0 Thawte Server certificate which expired in 1998:
: VeriSign/RSA Server certificate which expired 31-Dec-1999:
