Calendar | Simple script to produce calendars. |
---|---|
CGILIB | Collection of C language functions to ease script authoring across the WASD, OSU, Apache, Purveyor, and vanilla CGI environments (used by these scripts for portability). |
Conan | Access VMS Help and text libraries. |
HyperReader HyperShelf |

Hypershelf is used to navigate BNU or Bookreader shelves. |

Plain and HTML text file search utility.

Installation
Unbundled from the WASD VMS Hypertext Services package for use by generic VMS CGI environments. Installation steps:
Runtime files (documentation, images, etc.) are located in the [.RUNTIME] subdirectory. That area must be mapped to make the required graphics, help, etc., available to the scripts. scripts to access required images, help, etc.
All scripts generally provide additional usage information in the script source-code description.
NOTE: The HyperReader, HyperShelf and Conan scripts can all respond with a
"HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified" against requests with "If-Modified-Since:" header lines. The SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL logical is used to generate the GMT times used in the calculations. If this logical is not correctly maintained (as in many VMS v6.n systems) an invalid time error may be reported by the script. In the relevant script support procedure simply uncomment the indicated line to define the HTTPD$GMT logical which provides a work-around.
Script Overviews
This information is very generic. Any specific environment may require some tweaking.
Calendar |
Simple script to produce calendars.
Access this year's calendar with /cgi-bin/calendar?0 and next year's with /cgi-bin/calendar?+1 |
---|---|
Conan |
Access VMS help with:
/cgi-bin/conan Other demonstrations are available: /wasd/runtime/conanhelp.html |
HyperReader HyperShelf |
To access the default DECW$BOOKSHELF library: /cgi-bin/hypershelf To access a BNU library specify it's location: /cgi-bin/hypershelf/sys$common/decw$book/library.decw$bookshelf /cgi-bin/hypershelf/sys$common/decw$defaults/user/library.odl To directly access a book: /cgi-bin/hypershelf/sys$common/decw$book/bookreader.decw$book |
HyperSPI |
See the HYPERSPIREADME.TXT in this same
directory.
The [.RUNTIME]HYPERSPIEXAMPLE.GIF image gives some idea of what the script-processed data looks like via a browser (before you go to all the trouble of setting it up ;^) |
Query Extract |
Both plain-text and HTML-text files can be searched, the latter only has the
content of the file searched, not any tag-related text! "Text" files are
recognised by the file extension. A useful collection of these are
predefined by the scripts. To change the contents of this list use the
/TEXT= and /HTML= qualifiers as described in the script prologues.
Additional plain-text files also must be specified to the EXTRACT script.
Examples, the first for generating a simple form-based search interface, the second for initiating a simple search: /cgi-bin/query/wasd/runtime/*.* /cgi-bin/query/wasd/runtime/*.*?wasd It also supports form-initiated searches. See the QUERY.C prologue. Depending on server support it may be possible to make this script the default query (ISINDEX-style) engine. |
QDLogStats |
Quick & Dirty LOG STATisticS provides very elementary statistics from Web
server common/combined format log files. A number of filters allow
subsets of the log contents to be selected. These filters are simple
sort-of regular expressions. This utility has a command-line and a CGI
interface.
/cgi-bin/qdlogstats The CGI interface requires authorization to be active before it can be used. Further setup and usage information is provided in the code description. qdlogstats.c |
