The UKCC celebrates its thirtieth birthday this month. In September 1958, the UKCC began with three full-time staff members, a part-time student programmer, and an IBM 650 Magnetic Drum Digital Computer with alphabetic device. Today the UKCC boasts 73 full-time staff members, a class VI supercomputer (IBM 3090-300E/3VF) an IBM 3084-Q96, and the PR1ME systems. Additionally, through a sophisticated data communications network, these facilities are accessible from throughout the University. Originally providing limited research and instructional appplications, the UKCC has undergone several transformations to its present status as a centralized facility which provides computing support to all areas of the University, administrative as well as academic. Over the years there have been various organization changes within the UKCC as it attempted to respond to and anticipate various user needs. The UKCC was originally organized under UK President Frank Dickey. When the University was reorganized in 1982 the UKCC was placed in the Lexington Campus sector, under Academic Affairs. In July 1987, as part of a complete reorganization of computing and services, the UKCC was placed under a new University VP of Information Systems, Eugene R. Williams. Today the UKCC is organized into seven major groups: Academic Consulting Services, Management Information Services, Business Management, Information Center, Technical Services, Facilities Operations, and Information Resources. There have been five UKCC directors in the past thirty years: Dr. John Hamblen, Dr. Silvio O. Navarro, Dr. Martin B. Solomon, Dr. J. Robert Heath, and currently, Dr. Douglas E. Hurley. Dr. Navarro also created UK's Computer Science Department and served as its first chairman. The most obvious changes have been in the computing systems. Here's a look at the major computing systems throughout the years: System Installed Removed IBM 650 September 1958 September 1962 IBM 1620 March 1961 August 1967 IBM 1401 July 1962 October 1962 IBM 1410 October 1962 November 1968 IBM 7040 July 1964 July 1967 IBM 1401 July 1964 August 1967 IBM 360/50 February 1967 October 1969 IBM 360/65 October 1969 March 1975 IBM 370/165 March 1975 June 1983 PR1ME 850 January 1982 present PR1ME 9950 June 1984 December 1984 PR1ME 9955 December 1984 present IBM 3083-E16 June 1983 December 1984 IBM 3081-K32 December 1984 May 1988 IBM 3090-300E/3VF December 1987 present IBM 3084-Q96 May 1988 present Of course, this list doesn't include the rapidly growing use of personal computers throughout the UKCC and the University. A Micro Lab was added to the UKCC in December 1982, to provide all UK students, faculty, and staff a chance to learn about and use a variety of personal computers. A vital part of computing today is communications, and the UKCC has always taken advantage of current technology to serve the University's electronic communications needs. Today the UKCC is one of the several campus computing resources accessible through UKnet, operated by the Division of Communications & Distributed Systems. UKnet consists of an Ungermann-Bass Broadband Cable Plant, installed in May 1986, and has four channels: a general channel, an administrative channel, and ethernet-on-broadband channel, and most recently, a Chipcom ethernet-on- broadband channel. The physical facilities are another obvious sign of UKCC's growth. In 1958 the UKCC occupied a small part of the basement of McVey Hall. Today the Machine Rooms alone fill most of the basement, with labs, classrooms, and offices on the first and second floors. Part of the third floor is occupied by the Center for Computational Science, with which the UKCC works closely. The Machine Room areas were expanded in December 1987 to accommodate the supercomputer, and the remainder of McVey Hall is currently undergoing badly needed renovation. The first UKCC user was Dr. Richard S. Mateer of Mining Engineering, and he still maintains a UKCC account today. In 1958 users like Dr. Mateer had to come to McVey Hall and operate the computer themselves, doing everything from punching their own cards to running their own programs. In the early 1960s computers became smaller and more powerful, allowing multiple users to access the same computing system at the same time. UKCC computing systems can now be accessed from nearly any type of terminal or personal computer, from terminal cluster sites around campus, from the Users Rooms in McVey Hall, and from remote sites outside Fayette County. The past thirty years have not been entirely free of tragedy. Dr. Silvio Navarro, the second UKCC director, was killed in a plane crash on April 3, 1967. Eight other members of the University community were also killed when the plane failed during take-off from Blue Grass Field. Dr. Navarro was on his way to Texas to deliver a speech at a professional meeting. On June 4, 1986, a small fire in the Machine Room broke out shortly after midnight, and was extinguished by the Lexington Fire Department within fifteen minutes of its discovery. The fire destroyed a single electronic rack housing seven 24-port multiplexers and the related modems serving instructional clusters. Communications were disrupted for several hours, but staff members throughout all the UKCC groups responded quickly to restore services. No one was injured in the fire, but some employees were sent home because of toxic vapor. Today a sophisticated Halon 1301 Extinguishing System is in operation throughout the areas housing the IBM and PR1ME systems. "The Kentucky Register" itself began publication in July 1964 on a quarterly basis. Monthly printed publication began in October 1972, and except for the period of April through July 1988, it has continued to serve users monthly. Despite the many changes the UKCC has undergone, some things remain constant: the loyalty, knowledge, friendliness, and perseverence of its staff members. They've always shown extraordinary dedication to giving users the very best service and up-to-date technical help within their power. They're the real reason the UKCC keeps improving throughout the years -- and that isn't going to change. -- Marguerite Floyd ************************************************************************* UKCC SHORT COURSES The following short courses are free to all UK faculty, staff, and students, but preregistration is required. You may register by calling the UKCC Main Office at 257-2900. If you register for a course and then find that you will be unable to attend, you must cancel your registration by calling the UKCC Main Office. Failure to do so may jeopardize your right to register for future courses offered by the UKCC. Except for the Introduction to VM/CMS and XEDIT, all these courses require some experience or knowledge of CMS, at least enough to XEDIT files and SUBMIT programs. The Introduction to VM/CMS and XEDIT course provides sufficient CMS experience for the remaining courses. If you're not familiar with XEDIT, the information presented on the online course (initiated by entering the SLFTEACH command), supplemented by the "CMS Introductory Guide," will probably be adequate. Recommended course texts should be available at the UK Bookstore in the Student Center (Lexington Campus). INTRODUCTION TO VM/CMS AND XEDIT Monday, September 19 and Tuesday, September 20 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. 103 McVey Hall Saturday, October 15 and Saturday, October 22 10:00 a.m. to Noon 103 McVey Hall A basic introduction to interactive use of the IBM mainframe computer. Learn how to access the computer, how to create and manage files on your account, and how to use BITNET to communicate with colleagues across the nation and around the world. You'll also learn how to use the CMS text editor, XEDIT, to create and modify individual files. This course will be taught in two two-hour sessions, and will be offered three times during the Fall semester. The first session will be a classroom lecture. The second session will begin with a short classroom lecture after which you will be given a class account and will receive supervised hands-on practice in using the commands. INTRODUCTION TO SAS Tuesday through Friday, September 13-16 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. 103 McVey Hall Tuesday through Friday, October 4-7 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. 103 McVey Hall A short course introducing the SAS system. SAS is a collection of powerful and flexible data management and statistical analysis procedures that allow you to create and analyze libraries of data files. The course will emphasize simple data manipulation and general syntax. Designed for new SAS users, the class will meet for four sessions. Recommended, but not required, texts for the course are the "SAS Introductory Guide" and "SAS User's Guide: Basics." The former is a clear, easy introduction oriented toward people new to computing. The latter will be necessary for any extensive use of the data manipulation features of the system. Again, as with all the rest of these courses, some experience with CMS is prerequisite. INTRODUCTION TO SAS/GRAPH Wednesday and Thursday, September 21-22 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. 103 McVey Hall Wednesday and Thursday, October 12-13 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. 103 McVey Hall A short course introducing some of the features and uses of plotting using the SAS package. SAS/GRAPH is a collection of SAS PROCs that can be used to draw text in various fonts; plot values in the x-y plane with various curves; draw three-dimensional and contour plots of functions; display bar, pie, star, and block charts; and plot several different map displays using SAS data sets for county, state, and country boundaries. The recommended text is "SAS/GRAPH User's Guide, Version 5 Edition." Class size is limited to six, so please register only if you will attend both sessions. Besides the general knowledge of CMS, this course requires enough knowledge of SAS to create and modify a SAS data set. The Introduction to SAS class described above is an adequate prerequisite. INTRODUCTION TO SPSS-X Tuesday through Friday, September 27-30 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. 103 McVey Hall A course introducing the language and use of SPSS-X, a powerful program for displaying and analyzing data. The course is for those who have little or no knowledge of SPSS-X, but need it to do their graduate work, research, or university-related job, and want help with elementary SPSS-X syntax. The class will meet for four sessions. The manuals "SPSS-X Basics" and "SPSS-X User's Guide" are recommended supplemental texts. The former is a clear, easy introduction to the SPSS-X system, and the latter is necessary for any extensive use of the system. GRAPHICS TOOLS AND CONCEPTS Monday, Wednesday, Friday, September 19, 21, 23 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Terminal Area, Computational Sciences, 3rd floor, McVey Hall An introduction to mainframe graphics fundamentals, this course will examine the terminology, techniques, devices, and software systems commonly used for graphics applications. You'll learn how these tools and concepts may be integrated into instructional and research programs, and how to identify and develop potential graphics applications. Online demonstrations and exercises will be used extensively. No previous graphics or programming experience is necessary, but some knowledge of interactive computing and CMS will be helpful. INTRODUCTION TO DI-3000 Monday, Wednesday, Friday, September 26, 28, 30 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Terminal Area, Computational Sciences, 3rd floor McVey Hall DI-3000, from Precision Visuals, Inc., is a device-independent, general purpose graphics software system. Primarily a "toolkit" of FORTRAN subroutines for the graphics programmer, it's easy to understand and use, and functionally rich and diverse. You'll learn to apply DI-3000 tools to charts and graphs, illustrations, contour and three-dimensional surface maps, and high-quality text applications. No previous graphics is necessary, but knowledge of FORTRAN and CMS will be helpful. ************************************************************************* LINEMODE ACCESS TO CMS CHANGING The lines supporting linemode access to VM/CMS on the IBM systems will soon be a thing of the past. If you dial up the UKCC dataswitch and answer CMS to the REQUEST: prompt, your applications must be evaluated and converted by October 1, 1988. For many users who are now using the CMS lines a small change in procedure will solve the problem. If you use a real CRT terminal or a microcomputer with Kermit, Procomm, or Yterm (or are able to emulate a VT100 terminal with some other program), then replying UKNET to the REQUEST: prompt will take care of the problem, though you'll have to get used to a whole new perspective since you'll be using full screen access to CMS. Though you may be emulating a VT100, you'll be accessing the IBM systems through the 7171 protocol converter which makes your terminal look like a 3270 terminal to CMS. If your modem is 1200 bps or better, you'll like the difference. If your modem is less than 1200 bps, this system change gives you a good excuse to upgrade to a 2400 bps modem. However, those users with hardcopy terminals (DecWriters or AJs, for example) will have to do more. In this case, the easiest solution is to call one of the people listed below. Your usage and needs will be reviewed and some method will be found for you. If you're not sure if this change affects you, call the Consulting Room (7-2249) to find out. If you are affected, contact one of the following UKCC staff members: Bob Crovo (7-2258), Chris Corman (7-2243), or Lavine Thrailkill (7-2257). Remember, if you dial up the UKCC dataswitch and answer CMS to to the REQUEST: prompt, your applications must be evaluated and converted by October 1, 1988. __ Bob Crovo ************************************************************************* IBM PASCAL AND C COMPILERS NOW AVAILABLE IBM Pascal compiler VS PASCAL and C compilers are now available to users on UKCC (3084A) and UKCCS (3090). IBM PASCAL COMPILER To compile Pascal programs using the IBM compiler, you must first access IBMPAS disk. Type GRAB IBMPAS to access the PASCAL compiler. This needs to be done only once in a session. If you use DISConnect (as opposed to LOGOFF), you don't need to access the IBMPAS disk at the next session. Use the Q DISK command to find out if you've already accessed the IBMPAS disk. To compile your program in the file "filename pascal" on your disk, type VSPASCAL filename If there are no errors, type GLOBAL TXTLIB VSPASCAL LOAD filename (START This loads and runs the program. If you want to create an executable module, use GLOBAL TXTLIB VSPASCAL LOAD filename GENMOD filename This will create an executable module file called "filename module" on your A disk. Online Help is available. After you've accessed the IBMPAS disk, just type HELP VSPASCAL The help files are menu-driven, so all you have to do is select the desired topic on the menu. A User's Guide and Reference manual are available on request. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * C COMPILER The C compiler from IBM can be accessed by typing GRAB IBMC This needs to be done only once in a session. If you use DISConnect (as opposed to LOGOFF), you don't need to access the IBMC disk at the the next sesson. To compile your C program in file "filename c filemode", enter CC filename c filemode If there are no errors, type GLOBAL TXTLIB CLIB LOAD filename (START This will load and run the program. If you want to create an executable module, use LOAD filename GENMOD filename This will generate the executable file "filename MODULE A" on your A disk. Type filename to run it. There is NO online Help for the C compiler at the present time, but a copy of the manual is available. If you need help or more information about either of these compilers, contact Shashi Sathaye at 257-2247, or SYSSHASH@UKCC. She can help you with any problems while the Help files are being created. __ Shashi Sathaye ************************************************************************* NEW VERSION OF WATERLOO C COMPILER NOW AVAILABLE Version 3.0 of the Waterloo C compiler is now available to IBM 3084 users. This version is closer to the ANSI C, and many problems in version 1.3 have been fixed. Version 3.0 offers many C library functions that provide support for the full screen operations and file I/O functions specific to the CMS environment. Many sources that were originally designed on other systems can now be ported to CMS without too many drastic changes to the code. All programs written in C that ran under version 1.3 should run without any problem under the new version. The only exception is a program that had a call to the C library function "localtime." This is the only library function that has changed drastically. It is now made to be the same as the "localtime" function found in other C compilers. Because of the increased size of the CLIB, the compiler is no longer available on your Y-disk. You must access it by issuing the GRAB command: GRAB WATC This needs to be done only ONCE during a session. If you disconnect to end the session rather than logging off, you don't need to GRAB WATC when you next log on. The command Query DISK can be used to find if WATC is already accessed. Once you've accessed the WATC disk, you can use the C compiler with the CW command as before. Loading and Generating Modules C programs should be loaded with the CLIB TXTLIB command. The file HELLO C, for example, could be compiled and executed with these commands: CW HELLO GLOBAL TXTLIB CLIB LOAD HELLO (START If you want to create an executable module, use LOAD HELLO GENMOD HELLO This will create the file HELLO MODULE A. Type "HELLO" to run it. HELP C gives online help for C. It is menu-driven, and you can find the information you need by selecting the proper topic. Since the help files are on the WATC disk, you must access it first. For a printed copy of the manual, write to WATCOM Products Inc. 415 Phillip St. Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3X2 If you need help or want more information about the Waterloo Compiler C, contact Shashi Sathaye at 7-2247 or SYSSHASH@UKCC. __ Shashi Sathaye ************************************************************************* NEW GRAPHICS SOFTWARE TOOLS AVAILABLE Users will have access this year to a variety of quality graphics software tools, from simple interactive charting and graphing packages to powerful and complex subroutine programming systems and interactive 3-D modeling and design. And the selection of software and hardcopy options is expected to keep improving throughout the year. IBM's GDDM ICU (Interactive Chart Utility) is probably the simplest system to use. It's completely interactive and menu-driven, requires no programming or particular knowledge of graphics terminology, and is very user-friendly. It can be mastered quickly, and has helpful features such as showing an array of little graphs of your data in a variety of styles from which you can select your final output. Of course, SAS-GRAPH and Precision Visuals' GRAFEASY and GRAFMASTER are available for more demanding applications, as well as Waterloo SCRIPT for word charts and transparencies. For graphics programmers who want to do it THEIR way, there is the Fortran-based DI-3000 subroutine set and graPHIGS, a powerful drawing and modeling subroutine system which is based on the new graPHIGS standard. Contour and 3-D mesh surface maps can be produced with just a little programming effort using SAS-GRAPH or DI-3000. Both systems produce nice hardcopy output on the Apple LaserWriters in 111 McVey. For 2-D and 3-D interactive drawing, design, and surface or solid modeling, IBM's CADAM and CATIA are available. They are designed, as is graPHIGS, to run on IBM 5085 workstations, a number of which are available on campus. If you need help selecting a graphics package for your particular application, or want more information about any of these software systems, call Bob Williamson at 7-2227. Or call 7-2900 and register for the free "Graphics Tools and Concepts" short course beginning September 19. __ Bob Williamson ************************************************************************* SUGGESTIONS 1. Twice today I have entered "ACCEPT spnu" where "spnu" was the spool number of one of my READER files. The file was read onto my CMS disk but the READER file was NOT PURGED. I had NOT specified "(HOLD" so would you have any idea why the READER file was not PURGEd? >>>Thanks. We'll investigate. 2. Hi. I just wanted to tell you that the UL-UKCC connection has stopped working this morning. I can usually connect, but somewhere everything freezes up every two or three minutes, finally disconnecting me. Then it usually takes a few minutes to reconnect. (I get "NO RESPONSE" messages when the UL ISN tries to contact UKCC.) Hope there's something that can be done . . . >>>Maintenance of the UL-UKCC connection is primarily the responsibility of U of L. We're doing all we can to correct the problem on our end. 3. I am a daily user of the computers in room 111 of McVey. The computer screens are usually dusty and dirty. I know that because of static the screens attract dust. Something needs to be done on a daily basis to keep them clean. It's a hazard to the eyesight of those using these moniters to have to work with dirty screens. I suggest they simply be clean often. >>>Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've taken care of it. 4. SPELLFIX tells me that the word DICEPHALUS is correct, but when I'm XEDITing a file and use SPELLCHK, it tells me it doesn't recognize the word. Don't these two programs use the same dictionary? >>>SPELL and SPELLFIX use additional lexicon files. SPELLCHK uses only the built-in lexicon unless you specify additional files. You might, for example, have that word in a "USER LEXICON" or "filename LEXICON" file that SPELL and SPELLFIX would find. 5. What happened to the OSDISKS command? I get "$disks 513 not linked." What is the alternative to get to rental disks? >>>There is no alternative from CMS. For security reasons OS rental disk datasets are only available from MVS jobs. You can use the SNDNET program to copy MVS sequential datasets over to CMS if you need the data on that operating system. See the October 1987 issue of "The Kentucky Register" for details on SNDNET. 6. The names file format doesn't allow enough space for the extended node names of many users, including UK users, such as UKCC.uky.edu. Can the space set aside for the node of the names file be substantially increased? >>>The NNAMES command on CMS release 4 (the production release that you are using) will give you longer fields on the menu screen. Users on release 5 of CMS can just use NAMES for the same ability. 7. I submitted jobs on 7/30 at 17:39, 23:37, 23:38, and 23:44. They completed execution at 00:26, 00:27, 00:28, and 00:36 on 7/31. When I issue a JOBS command for 7/30, the LAST ACTIVITY is READER. When I issue a JOBS command for 7/31, I get NO JOBS FOUND. There should be some indication that the jobs were PURGED. >>>JOBS (and STATUS) can't track a job across Midnight. We're aware of the problem. 8. It would be very helpful if there was HELP for completion codes and explanations. (If this already exists, I have not been able to guess what the HELP topic is.) >>>There are a limited number of completion codes that do have online Help. Try HELP OSABEND to see the list. You're right, our Help system is behind in this topic. 9. How could I obtain a userid starting with SUPER? I have a regular account now. >>>Contact User Account Services at 257-2212, or HYATT@UKCC or JOHNSON@UKCC. 10. I use several userids and would like to leave one of them on the IBM 3090 rather than needing to set up a new account. Thanks. >>>You need to contact User Account Services at 257-2212 or HYATT@UKCC or JOHNSON@UKCC. They can help you get your userids where you want them. 11. I'd like to know which key to use when I want to insert text in XEDIT, using the tvi910p terminal. >>>Hold down the FUNCT key and press i to toggle insert mode on the tvi910p terminal. 12. On Monday, August 8, it took me nearly twenty minutes to get an open (and working) port on ukcc. I have two questions, First, why did it take so long at this time of year--the usage should be very low. Second, and more importantly, why, if all ports were busy, was I not put on a waiting list, as was done with the old dataswitch? At least that way I could be camped on, waiting for an open port, whereas this morning I had to keep retrying manually, which is a waste of time. >>>On Sunday the second processor of the new 3084 dual processor was brought up to support the CMS users (UKCC node) who had been on the 3090 since it was installed. This required the redistribution of the 7171 protocol converters which connect network ports to the IBM systems. The network ports which had been connected to the 3090 had to be divided between the 3090 and the new 3084 processor. As a result of hardware considerations, the initial division was 40 ports on the 3090 and 47 on the 3084 at the beginning of the day. The 47 ports were not enough to handle the demand and lots of people got busy notices. During the day, 24 ports were moved from the 3090 to the 3084, so there should now be enough ports for everyone. The number of network ports to both computers will be increased as soon as possible, and there shouldn't be any port shortages once we complete that work. In the meantime, thanks for your patience. 13. The list of computers available from the network shown on HELP needs to be updated. It still shows A3270 and it doesn't differentiate between UKCC and UKCCB. >>>The Help connection is an unofficial service, and is only maintained when there is available time. The networking group has been extremely busy installing new connections and maintaining other network equipment. Thanks for your patience. 14. I've been using NAG on the 3090 for quite some time now. As of Sunday, August 7, it's been unavailable. I called a Consultant to ask what the deal was, and was told (in a VERY superior tone) that there were licensing problems and that NAG would remain in limbo until there was sufficient demand for it. This didn't make sense to me, so I called Anne Leigh, and found out that NAG will be back real soon now. I suggest the Consultants should be a little less "superior," especially if they don't know what they're talking about. >>>CMS NAG is now available on both IBM systems; since we have two IBM systems, we must license software for each CPU. We're sorry if you felt one of our Consultants behaved in a "superior" manner; it wasn't intentional. If a Consultant can't answer your question, she or he will always try to direct you to someone who can. 15. Could someone please reset the clock in MH111? Thanks. >>>We've taken care of it. Thanks. 16. Since the system was down for the power outage a few weeks ago my CHAT exec hasn't worked. I obtained another copy from the author and got the same error. I sent a copy of the error file to him, and he said the program works on all other VM/SP systems and that the problem was in the local environment. I have hunch that most people here at UKCC are using the older version of CHAT, which works on UKCC, instead of the newest one. Any ideas as to what has changed to disable the program? >>>We can't help you electronically with CHAT, but if you'll come over and talk with one of the Consultants (110 McVey Hall), we'll see what we can do. 17. Adding Grants information to VIEW was an excellent idea. However, I would suggest keeping Campus News and UKCC News as the first two listings under the View utility. I think many people will use Campus News and UKCC News routinely (several times a week); listing them before other useful, but less frequently/broadly used data sources will make them faster to use. >>>Thanks for your input. We want to make VIEW as convenient and useful as possible. 18. Where can I get a copy of YTERM? >>>UK has a site license for YTERM. You can make a copy in the Micro Lab, 107 McVey Hall. ************************************************************************* UKCC CLASSIFIEDS Classified ads are free to UK students, faculty, and staff.
