The OpenVMS Freeware CD is a collection of OpenVMS free software started by Digital including tools written by enthusiasts as well as Digital legacy software made public.

The Freeware CD Collection is available from at least two resources:

the Digiater website, which provides a menu-based system for examining the contents of the CD-ROM, binaries, source code, and documentation of the freeware tools.
From VSI's SFTP server, vsiftp.vmssoftware.com (IP address 104.207.199.163). The present author is hesitant to re-post the authentication details, but at present these can be found at https://sourceforge.net/p/vms-ports/discussion/call_topics/thread/fa1d34d563/.

Most software supplied on the Freeware CD is covered by the GNU license; the CD is provided as is with no warranties of any kind.

There have been 8 versions of the Freeware CD labeled FREEWARE10, FREEWARE20 etc.

It recognises headings, bullets, indentation levels, tables and ascii art, adds hyperlinks to URLs, keywords and contents list. A great time saver for novice and expert alike.					40
Ask	The ASK program can be used to read a line of input from SYS$COMMAND. ASK works like the INQUIRE command, except that it allows escape sequences and end_of_file (Ctrl/Z) to be read by the user. The input string or keypress is returned in a local DCL symbol. Options allow for the read to timeout, the result to be placed in a global DCL symbol, a default string to be applied if no input, the result to be all upper case, and that the input string is not echoed. ASK was written to simulate the RSX11M .ASK directive.		VAX, Alpha	Mark Paulk, modified by James G. Downward, Phil Smith, & Ed James.	1995	80

BITNET	Broadcast GRAB and listserv PUNCH tools: GRAB is an example program that captures broadcast messages and simply outputs them to SYS$OUTPUT. This may sound stupid, but it actually works out well, as you can then say things like: SPAWN/NOWAIT/OUTPUT=trapped.messages RUN GRAB This will cause all broadcast messages (^T, New Mail, BITNET messages) to be copied to a file 'trapped.messages'. Once you stop the subprocess you can do anything you like with this file. LPUNCH is a program that converts files in listserv punch format. It accepts a list of wildcarded filenames, and converts the files that are in lpunch format. You must do a SET COMMAND LPUNCH, after appropriate editting of LPUNCH.CLD. LPUNCH accepts two qualifiers, /TRIM, which trims trailing whitespace, and /ORIGINAL, which signifies that the output file name is to be the same as the input file name, rather than what is specified in the file according to the listserv header info.	BASIC				80
bittorrent	This is a copy of the BitTorrent source tree, and the code here may or may not operate on OpenVMS; this is not (yet) a port.	Python, WxPython				70

BOOTSYNC	The purpose of BOOTSYNC is to prevent too many satellite systems from trying to boot at the same time. The theory of BOOTSYNC is to run this program as early in the system startup as is reasonable; in SYCONFIG, early in SYSTARTUP, or in SYLOGICALS. The program will use the lock manager to synchronize with other copies of itself running on other systems in the cluster.	Macro-32, BLISS	VAX			50

BYACC	This is a port of Berkeley yacc (BYACC) to OpenVMS. Yacc reads the grammar specification in the file filename and generates an LR(1) parser for it. The parsers consist of a set of LALR(1) parsing tables and a driver routine. Yacc normally writes the parse tables and the driver routine to the file y_tab. The code has been changed from K&R form to ANSI C, and generates ANSI C.	C	VAX, Alpha	Thomas E. Dickey		50, 80

CHARM	Binary files/disk block editor data			O'Razoff	1996	80
CHKLGI	CHKLGI is a routine which allows you to perform the same checks and tasks as LOGINOUT.EXE (the system's login image) when a new process is logged in. You may check for correct passwords, login restrictions, perform ALF (automatic login facility) and proxy-related operations, update the intrusion database and perform system auditing of your logins. CHKLGI shows the use of many less-known system services like SYS$AUDIT_EVENT, SYS$SCAN_INTRUSION, SYS$VERIFY_PROXY, as well as the undocumented image activation service SYS$IMGACT and the license-related services SYS$GRANT_LICENSE, SYS$LOOKUP_ LICENSE and SYS$RELEASE_LICENSE. It also shows how to use item lists in C (for SYS$GETUAI) and some other useful techniques. Finally, the MACRO-32 program, which runs in kernel mode, shows how to scan the PCB (process control block) vector array and how to extract information from these and related data structures.					80

clue$sda_vax	CLUE (Crash Log Utility Extractor) for OpenVMS VAX. On OpenVMS Alpha, CLUE is implemented as SDA extension. On OpenVMS VAX, CLUE is implemented as external utility, invoked from DCL with the MCR CLUE command. However, since it does not run under SDA control, it cannot invoke SDA callbacks and therefore does not support the displays provided by Alpha CLUE. The image is located in SYS$SYSTEM:CLUE.EXE. This kit contains CLUE$SDA (as SDA extension) on VAX. It is invoked in the same way as on Alpha and provides the same or slightly modified commands and displays. It provides, however, no commands to collect and archive information from dumpfiles; these tasks are still covered by the external, DEC-supplied CLUE utility.		VAX			80
CLUSTER_TOOLS	Three tools for cluster management: BYEBYENODE.MAR to force a remote system out of the cluster COPY_SHADOW_DUMP.MAR to retrieve a system dump from a Phase II shadowed system disk FORCE_MERGE.MAR to force a merge copy on a Phase II shadowset					10, 20, 30, 40
CMEM	Tool for debugging 'C' memory allocation routines. Provides updated versions of the C run-time library routines 'malloc', 'calloc', 'realloc', and 'free'. The new versions provide many features to insure the integrity of the C dynamic memory pool. Programmers can use this information to track down routines which improperly access dynamic memory.				1995	20, 30, 40, 80
CMPDIR	CMPDIR compares the contents of two directories and displays the result in a similar format as the DCL DIFFERENCES command. This format provides a quick visual depiction of version discrepencies between dirctories. Qualifiers are available to highlite date and size differences between the two directories. If CMPDIR detects the image if being executed on a DECterm, date and size differences are shown in colors, else they are shown in bold font. There is also an /OUTPUT qualifier available.			Lyle W. West	2004	80
CMP-Disk	A compressing VMS virtual disk for Vax or Alpha (cmphighc.zip), Alpha versions of disk drivers for remote virtual disk over DECnet and host processes, and for files stored on somewhat encrypted files on local disks. The remote disk can be used for remote backup or access and will attempt to recover if the net link fails. Also present are some other odds and ends, and the SPD for a user undelete (reliable, this one) and enhanced VMS security module called SAFETY from the author.		VAX, Alpha			30, 40
CMUIP	A set of frequently asked questions about the CMU OpenVMS TCP/IP package designed to provide a full TCP/IP network transport for VAX systems		VAX			10, 20, 30, 40

ColorWheel	A demo that displays a multicolor wheel rotating in a resizable window.					10, 20, 30, 40
COMPARE_DIR	COMPARE_DIR allows users to compare the contents of two directories. The directories may be on the same node, or on different nodes. COMPARE_DIR can be used to show which files are missing from either directory. COMPARE_DIR can be used to show which files exist in both directories, but have different sizes, dates, or version numbers. COMPARE_DIR can be used to create a COM file to copy missing files from one directory to another.			Tim Forarty		80
COMPRESS	This is a VMS port of GNU compress, which can be used to decompress files compressed using the UNIX compress utility.			Jim Dyer		80
COMPRESS_VMS	The UNIX compress/uncompress program, ported to VMS 5.2			Doug Todyof		10, 20, 30, 40
crembx	create mailbox from DCL					60

cURL	Curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.					60, 80
CVS_VMS	VMS version of Concurrent Versioning System (build ctl tool). CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. It handles multiple developers, multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations, and can work over a wide area network. The following tasks are not included; they can be done in conjunction with CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and software other than CVS: bug-tracking, build management (that is, make and make-like tools), and automated testing.					30, 40
CVTLIS	A tool that converts .LIS files from the VMS Source Listings on CD back to the appropriate source files.			Hunter Goatley	1994	10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 80

dbs-build_libraries	RTL used by DBS tools					80
DBS-DCL	DBS-DCL is a collection of DCL procedures. A lot of them have come about as the result of having to manage over forty remote systems and the need for a consistent reliable way of doing things.					50
DBS-ETHERWATCH	DBS-ETHERWATCH looks at Ethernet packets.					40, 50, 80
DBS-LATWATCH	DBS-LATWATCH is similar to DBS-ETHERWATCH but only looks at LAT packets and formats the various LAT message types. Selection can be made on message type (as well as address) and record and playback is also available.					40, 50, 80
DBS-LIBRARY	DBS-LIBRARY is a collection of DCL procedures and a couple of programs that I have used for a number of years now. You might find them useful also.					50
DBS-NETUTILS	DBS-NETUTILS contains early versions of ETHERWATCH and LATWATCH as well as a protocol counter which will record the number of packets of each protocol type (between two addresses if desired) and a frame counter that records the number of packets of various sizes (for selected protocols or addresses).					40, 50, 80
DBS-NULLSYMBIONT	DBS-NULLSYMBIONT is a symbiont that will use the null device (NLA0:) and doesn't actually do any processing of jobs in the queue but just removes them from the queue and honours the /DELETE qualfier etc.					40, 50, 80
DBS-ODSM, online disk space monitor	DBS-ODSM is an Online Disk Space Monitor that can be used to send OPCOM messages when disk usage moves outside predefined limits or when a disk becomes unavailable.					40, 50, 80

DBS-TCPWATCH	DBS-TCPWATCH sniffs the Ethernet for TCP packets. This tool is not complete i.e. the documentation etc. is not finished yet.					40, 50
DCC, Disciplined ANSI C Language Checker	This product checks that a C source file complies with the precepts of Disciplined C, a set of rules aiming at elevating ANSI C to the rank of high level language (as opposed to portable assembly language), and making as much semantics as possible flow from the design to the source code. This is achieved mainly via quasi-compulsory types/constants naming and 'const' qualifier use. The product also detects most of the pitfalls of the C language, helps the programmer organize his program modules and write them so that they are well encapsulated and more portable, and finally gives some much-needed compile-time checking tools.			Yves Noyelle		40, 60
DCL04	22 DCL Utility Procedures: BSTART.COM SUBMITs a software startup procedure to batch as user SYSTEM (requires CMKRNL privilege). CD.COM: a SET DEFAULT utility that accepts VMS syntax (DEV:[DIR]), UN*X syntax ("/dir") and DOS syntax ("\dir"). DELTREE.COM: a DELETE directory tree utility DMP2BIN.COM converts the contents of a DUMP output file to a Fixed-512 file. DVOL.COM estimates the amount of data to backup on a volume considering the total disk space used minus the size of the .SYS files in the MFD. ENTDEL.COM deletes ranges of entries. Entries can be specified individually, as a range (Example: 10-15) or as a comma-separated list of entries or ranges. FILCNT.COM counts the number of files in a directory by reading the .DIR file. FIX_VERSION.COM "fixes" the version numbers of selected files by RENAME-ing them twice: once by reversing the sequence of characters in the filetype extension, and again putting them back in the right order. File version numbers begin at 1 afterwards. FREEDISK.COM displays the total, used and free disk space on all the volumes MOUNTed to the system including freespace percentages and totals in GB and TB (rounded). GGFIND.COM determines which $1$GGA device is associated with a $1$DGA by matching against the WWIDs. NA.COM converts an integer into either a DECnet address (if less than 65535) or an IP address in dotted-decimal notation. PRCQUOTA.COM displays the various process quotas and quota usage of processes selected by command line parameters. Uses F$CONTEXT() and F$PID() to find processes. RESUBMIT.COM submits a new version of a batch job procedure based on information from an existing queue entry. RM_RET_ENT.COM removes retained entries from queues using criteria stated in the command line parameters. SHAFT.COM displays the /AFTER time of queue entries, the date/time submitted and the process start time if the job is running. Entries can be specified individually, as a range (Example: 10-15) or as a comma- separated list of entries or ranges. SHCLU.COM displays the cluster members including hardware names, and operating system version, cluster votes information, and quorum disk information if a quorum disk is present. SPLIT.COM breaks up binary (Fixed-512) files into smaller pieces of specified size. SYSTAT.COM: RSTS/E-like SYSTAT display. TEE.COM: Excerpted from the on-line HELP for the PIPE command. Will work better on V7.3-2 and later than on V7.2 thru V7.3-1. TIME_COMMAND.COM displays the elapsed time of a command. VMSMEM.COM displays the memory utilization for the local node. WHICH.COM displays what is executed for a given command. Locates "foreign"commands (symbols) or uses the freeware VERB utility to analyze the DCL command table.					70

icalcv	a Portable Infix Calculator with bugfixes. I have found and corrected the "MATH$TRUNC_G multiply defined" error during linking, and corrected some other warnings from the C comiler (but not one bad subscript array warning, due the the code being somewhat 'peculiar': however, the program does appear to run correctly). I have also supplied a version of G05CAF in "C", so you don't need a FORTRAN compiler. The program appears to run correctly (and identically) on Alpha and IA64: I haven't tried this version on VAX, or on any other operating system.

last	The LAST program provides information on when the last time a user logged in, what group they are from and how many days it has been. This is done using system routines. If the user has never logged in, then a USEROPEN routine starts up RMS services to extract the creation date of the user's default loggin area. This was done under the assumption that the user's directory was created when the account was created. DIGITAL otherwise keeps no record of when an account was added.			Jonathan C. Baker		80
lastcmd	Grab and Display Last Terminal Command. Aallows a suitably privileged user (one with CMKRNL) peek at the typeahead buffer of another terminal. This allows one to grab another's last command no matter in what environment the target user may be. As long as the environment utilizes the terminal's typeahead buffer (usually via LIB$GETINPUT), LASTCMD will display that command. Utilities using SMG do not use the typeahead buffer and there are a few other exceptions. (In these cases, LASTCMD will still report the last command in the typeahead buffer; that command just may not be the very, very thing the user is doing at the moment). But overall, LASTCMD will grab the last command typed by another user and display it. Use LASTCMD in place of Hunter Goatley's GETCMD utility when the target user is not in the DCL environment at the moment.			Chris Olive	1994	80
lavdriver, Load-Averaging Device Driver	Here is a VMS driver you can load which will keep track of the load average in a way you can retrieve it. The algorithm used by it is not necessarily the same as LAT, but closer to TOPS. To read the load average, $ASSIGN or open a channel to the device _LAV0: and read 36 bytes from it. The first 12 bytes are three "F"-type floats which are the 1, 5, and 15 minute load averages respectively. The next 12 bytes are the 1, 5, and 15 minute average blocking priority (if your process is below the average blocking priority you aren't going to get much CPU, if above it you will get a lot). The last three are the 1, 5, and 15 minute averages of the longest I/O queue length on any disk, a decent indication of how backed up your I/O system is.			Kenneth Adelman		80
lck	LCK is a utility that allows to use VMS locks from DCL. It features a new DCL command that can request or release a lock on an arbitrary named resource.

MENU provides the menu builder with a fairly simple, yet fairly robust set of options to create menus. The current implementation is geared towards single column menus, with the standard up & down arrow or item name selection generally found in simple menus. A second "free flow" type of menu is also supported, although there isn't support for selecting items via arrow key manipulation. Menus are composed of instructions that create title lines (text lines), item lines (which describe an item that can be selected with the arrow keys), and command lines (lines that define "hidden" items, or otherwise affect menus).
