The section on VFU files in the recent TOPS-20 Update Course
provided some welcome information on Carriage Control. However, if
you are supporting a commercial shop with many special forms, that
installation has probably been frustrated by the lack of an easy way
to decipher a binary VFU file, if they have misplaced the printout
from the file creation. I wrote a program to fulfill just that need.
TYPVF7 will decipher and print out any VFU file. It was written for
use with an LP07, but should work with an LP05 also. The input VFU
file specification may be "wildcarded." Thus, an input file of
SYS:*.VFU would output all VFU files on SYS:.
The above description, and the program TYPVF7 which is included
on this SWS kit, were originally written by Bill Dornbush of the
Cleveland office and published in Large Buffer volume 370.
EXAMPLE:
@TYPVF7
VFU FILE: SYS:NORMAL.VFU
OUTPUT TO FILE: TTY:
VFU FILE: PS:<LOADTEST>NORMAL.VFU.1
