Since the toolshed moderation seems to be absent (or non-existing?) -
here is the new version of FIND_REP:
TOOL NAME: FIND_REP
FUNCTION: Search files for regular expressions and optionally replace
them.
VERSION: V1.5
SYSTEM: OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS AXP
LANGUAGE: C
LOCATION: GYPSC""::FIND015.A
(save set, can be VMSINSTAL'ed)
MORE INFO: Name of documentation file(s):
Included in the saveset:
FIND.HLP,
FIND.PS,
FIND.LN03,
FIND.INSTALLATION_GUIDE,
FIND015.RELEASE_NOTES
SOURCE: Walter Br�u (GYPSC::BRAEU)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The commands FIND and FIND/REPLACE search files for regular expressions
and (FIND/REPLACE) replaces them with another string. FIND accepts
POSIX expressions or the syntax of LSE V3.x (search/pattern,
substitute/pattern) and EVE V2.x (wildcard find). In addition, FIND
implements all expressions available in GNU's GREP (an extension to
UNIX GREP). The replacement string may contain wildcards to reinsert
parts of the target which has been found.
Version 1.5 now supports the common /PAGE qualifier
ADVANTAGES: FIND is a combination of search and GREP which includes
the advantages of both tools: it has the same qualifiers
as SEARCH and the pattern matching capabilities of GREP
(and more). The user can choose between either POSIX or
OpenVMS EVE and LSE syntax. FIND is very fast (as fast
as or faster than SEARCH and GNU's GREP).
LIMITATIONS: Matches may not cross record boundaries.

| 1225.1 | Do NOT use default DECnet directory! | VARDAF::CHURCH | Dave Church@VBE (DTN 828-6125) | Thu Mar 20 1997 03:38 | 43 |
Walter,
Please do NOT use the default DECnet directory as a place for
distributing software - it is very insecure!
As this type of directory has world write access anyone could replace
the kit you have supplied with something that includes a "trojan
horse"!
Looking in the directory I've seen many .ZIP, .EXE, .BCK files - if
it's common practice for those on GYPSC to use this directory for
distributing software then it must stop and a secure "public" directory
should be set up.
Below shows you how simple it is to screw things up...
$ dir GYPSC""::FIND015.A
Directory GYPSC""::GYPSC0_PGSWP:[FAL$SERVER]
FIND015.A;11 4599/4599 3 Mar 97 (Mon) 2:47pm (RE,RE,RE,RE)
FIND015.A;9 4599/4599 24 Feb 97 (Mon) 3:21pm (RE,RE,RE,RE)
Total of 2 files, 9198/9198 blocks.
$ cre GYPSC""::FIND015.A.1
<Exit>
$ dir GYPSC""::FIND015.A
Directory GYPSC""::GYPSC0_PGSWP:[FAL$SERVER]
FIND015.A;11 4599/4599 3 Mar 97 (Mon) 2:47pm (RE,RE,RE,RE)
FIND015.A;9 4599/4599 24 Feb 97 (Mon) 3:21pm (RE,RE,RE,RE)
FIND015.A;1 0/0 20 Mar 97 (Thu) 9:29am (RE,RE,RE,RE)
Total of 3 files, 9198/9198 blocks.
Even though the file cannot be deleted I can still write files into the
directory and this is enough...!
Regards,
Dave [Security consultant in CCS]

Well, I don't have any other place, therefore - no copy.
If anybody should be interested, I can send it by mail.
