This book views the operating system as a problem-solving aid for a programmer to master, just as a programming language must be mastered. A full-service, multi-user, interactive operating system is intended for use by application programmers. This book not only shows the programmer what an operating system is expected to provide, it gives programmers a hands-on opportunity to use it. Theoretical discussions are included, but the emphasis is on the application, so that the software engineer can exploit the services provided by a working operating system, in this specific instance the VAX/VMS system. Once the text introduces the purpose of a particular service, it discusses how this service is provided and how the VMS operating system makes use of it.

An important addition to your VAX/VMS library. For software specialists, system programmers, applications designers, and other computer professionals, here is a welcome in-depth study of the VMS file system, Version 5.2. You'll find it helpful in understanding the data structures, algorithms, interfaces to, and basic synchronization mechanisms of the VMS file system - that part of the operating system responsible for storing and managing files and information in memory and in secondary storage. The book is also fascinating as a case study of the VMS implementation of a file system.

Takes up where the VAX/VMS documentation leaves off. Find out how to use the Digital Command Language (DCL) to write programs - through the logical, hands-on method presented in this book. DCL is the standard command language for VMS - and is a well-structured, general-purpose programming tool when used to best advantage. Assuming a background knowledge of VMS, the book begins by describing the common features of DCL, then presents it as a programming language, including: * How to use DCL to write large applications * What the pitfalls of the language are, and how to avoid them * How to rapidly develop DCL procedures and modify them as requirements change * How to use paradigms to build more sophisticated programs.
