This package groups a series of FILELIST like tools.

   LF * EXEC        lists all EXECs on R/W disks
   LF * EXEC A D S  lists all EXECs on A, D and S-disk
   LF * EXEC *      same as FILELIST * EXEC *
   LF * EXEC **     lists all EXECs, also on not accessed MDISKs
RING
Issue commands to all/some files in XEDIT's RING. Examples: 
   RING TOP      issues TOP in all XEDITed files
   RING /disk    searches for disk in all XEDITed files
   RING          opens RINGLIST where you enter any command
URLIST

Changes in 1.7   (2019 & March 2021)

  • Recognise DLIST as a CMS command
  • Avoid VM READ when a called command empties the stack
  • Turn IMSG ON if using PEEK in URLIST

Changes in 1.5   (Jan 2012)

URLIST
PEEK is set to PF11 is VMSPOOL is not installed. My PEEK command in URLIST uses TRANSFER to transfer the file to your reader, PEEKs it, and TRANSFERs it back to the original user.
20 May 2022: URLIST now supports Eginhard Jaegers SFLIST package to browse (open) spool files, using PF11 or "Sflist" entered as command.
RING
The RING tool, that allows to execute an XEDIT command in all files currently in XEDIT's "ring", has been fixed to support changing the fileID, as well as to support mixed case fileIDs, the latter already worked already in the RINGLIST (FILELIST-like interface).

Changes in 1.3   (May 2008)

USERLIST
21 May 2008: Support PIPE stages that use a ( character. Sych as in
USERLIST cms q accessors SFSRUN:SOFT.DATA (dataspace|pick W4 == /1/

Changes in 1.2   (April 2007)

DISKLIST
7 Mar 2007: Fix "sort by size"
27 Feb 2007: The number of minidisks listed in DISKLIST was limited to the first 112. Caused by that DISKLIST was written in pre-PIPE days, hence based on EXECIO which uses a default buffer of 8K for the CP response.

29 Apr 2005: Fix "Refresh" in FILELIST
29 Apr 2005: Fix handling requests like "LF * PPF;$PPF A"
USERLIST
