This saves considerable * DASD space. The application perceives the file to be decompressed. * Input and Output are both supported. Huffman, COPYFILE, FCOPY and * TERSE packing methods are supported. * The method: * HSX establishes a nucleus extension which intercepts CMS file I/O's * and dynamically compresses/decompresses. * Any program which uses the published CMS file operations can, when * HSX is installed, read or write compressed files. * :lic.By placing material on this conference, I agree to grant * IBM a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for the material * as set forth in the LICENSE AGREEMNT file on this conference. * ***********************************************************************+ * note: 04 Jun 91: limitation: applying to use under CMS7/8: * OS-simulation is currently supported under CMS7 or CMS8 * but ONLY when running under the CP-ESA feature of VM-ESA, * NOT when running under the CP-370 feature of VM-ESA. * It is unlikely that this restriction will ever be lifted ***********************************************************************+ * &1 &2 HSX LICENSE * licence agreement &1 &2 HSX README * if you are a new user, read me first! * * exec to initialise and terminate HSX and display/set certain values: * &1 &2 HSXPROF EXEC * * * HSXPROF invokes any profiles specified in globalv group HSX, * variable PROFILES.

These modules can be * either invoked as their own name or nucxloaded as LISTFILE so * that any exec or program which issues LISTFILE while HSX file * system intercepts are ON "sees" the uncompressed file. This * second use may allow some applications to work ok on compressed * files which currently don't. * . To nucxload as LISTFILE - rexx fragment: * "QUERY CMSLEVEL (LIFO" * parse pull vmtyp . cmslevel ',' . * If cmslevel < 10 then cmrel = trunc(10*cmslevel) * else cmrel = cmslevel * "NUCXLOAD LISTFILE HSXLIF"cmrel "(SYSTEM SERVICE" * . If you execute one on the wrong CMS release, rc 177 but no message. * . To terminate the NUCXLOADed override: * NUCXDROP LISTFILE * . Although intended for use with HSX, the program runs * independently of HSX, i.e. it does not require HSX to be loaded. * It functions exactly as regular LISTFILE if HSX is not loaded * or HSX file system intercepts are OFF. * You can nucxload it before or after HSXPROF ON * . When NUCXLOADed: * FULIST is NOT affected, i.e. continues to display compressed * characteristics of compressed files * FILELIST IS affected, i.e. displays uncompressed * characteristics of compressed files (it uses LISTFILE). * .

For example you could generate an HSXCOPY which is * smaller and faster by excluding support for certain CMS releases. * * 1.4.1) You may be able to use the supplied HSXJLGEN EXEC: * To generate HSXCOPY: * HSXJLGEN HSXCOPY <m> ( c_r_1 c_r_2 ... c_r_i * where <m> is disk mode of MODULE * c_r_1 c_r_2 ... is a list of CMS release identifiers, e.g. * 13 14 * Type HSXJLGEN ? for more information * Otherwise, to gen the MODULE "by hand", read on ... * * 1.4.2) To GLOBAL the TXTLIBs prior to loading the code: * 'GLOBAL TXTLIB HSXJLA HSXCMS'||c_r_1 'HSXCMS'||c_r_2 ...
