The DECnet-RSX Guide to User Utilities provides comprehensive documentation for end-users to perform network-based tasks on DECnet-RSX systems. The manual covers several key utilities:
- NCP (Network Control Program): Used for monitoring local/remote node, line, and circuit states, and setting alias node names.
- NFT (Network File Transfer): Provides interactive tools for file transfers and manipulation across the network.
- FTS (File Transfer Spooler): Offers file transfer and management capabilities with added functionality for queuing tasks to process at specific times.
- NCT (Network Command Terminal): Enables logical connections to remote host operating systems.
- RMT (Remote Terminal): Facilitates remote terminal access to other DECnet-RSX nodes.
- PHO (Phone Communications): Supports interactive terminal-to-terminal messaging.
- TLK (Terminal Communications): Allows for single-line and dialog-based messaging between terminals.
The document includes detailed command syntax, error message descriptions, and sample terminal sessions to assist users with common network operations.
