VPE: the Victory Programming Environment

What is it? VPE consists of a number of integrated programmer utilities that will increase productivity and decrease the number of key strokes required to complete normal programming tasks in the VISTA environment.

Download from the Hardhats. VPE on Hardhats

Installation Instructions

The following were taken from http://hardhats.org/tools/vpe/vpe_db2.html so that they could be edited.


V P E Version 12

The Victory Programmer Environment consists of 2 files that are saved in MSM format, but that can be read by the MUMPS implementations mentioned below.

  • VPE_12_Rtns.MGR . . . Programmer Shell & VPE Modules
  • VPE_12_Rtns.PRD . . . Fileman files that support some modules

GTM SYSTEMS

Load both VPE_12_Rtns.MGR and VPE_12_Rtns.PRD into your GTM environment. DO ^ZVEMBLD for setup instructions. If you encounter the message "THIS IS NOT THE MANAGER UCI", select YES to continue. Next, DO ^VEEMINIT to setup Fileman files (optional).

Install notes: 

 I downloaded the files from here:
 http://hardhats.org/tools/vpe/vpe_db.html

 This gets me these files:
 VPE_12_Read Me.txt
 VPE_12_Rtns.MGR
 VPE_12_Rtns.PRD
 VPE_72.pdf

 I ran dos2unix on the files.  (not sure if needed or not)
 I tried importing them with KIDS --> " not a distribution."

 Next, load them with ^%RI...

                  ** VICTORY  PROGRAMMER  ENVIROMENT **
 
 
 WELCOME to the Victory Programmer Environment. VPE consists of a number
 of integrated programmer utilities that will increase your productivity
 and dramatically decrease the number of key strokes required to complete
 your normal tasks.
 
 <RETURN> to continue, '^' to quit:

 V I C T O R Y   P R O G R A M M E R   E N V I R O N M E N T
 
 
 GLOBAL LISTER/EDITOR
 Use to view your globals. Has extensive support for VA FILEMAN files.
 
 ROUTINE READER/EDITOR
 Use to read and edit routines. Allows branching to other routines to
 follow the flow of the code or capture code for importing into the
 current routine.
 
 ELECTRONIC DATA DICTIONARY
 Easy to use utility for viewing the data dictionaries of VA FILEMAN files.
 
 PROGRAMMER VSHELL
 A replacement for conventional 'Programmer's Mode'. Provides a safe,
 productive environment for M programmers. You will wonder how you ever
 got along without it.
 
 <RETURN> to continue, '^' to quit:
                            
 G L O B A L   P R O T E C T I O N
   
 If you receive 'Protection Errors' when you first start the VSHELL,
 check that the following globals are set correctly:
 
    ^%ZOSF   System-RWD   World-R     Group-R     User-RWD
 
    ^%ZVEMS  System-RWD   World-RWD   Group-RWD   User-RWD
 
 
 If you have the VA KERNEL software on your system, you should confirm
 that node ^%ZOSF("OS") is set correctly. The 2nd piece of this node
 should be the number of your Mumps system. See node ^DD("OS").
    DSM=2  MSM=8  DTM=9  VAXDSM=16
 
 <RETURN> to continue, '^' to quit:
 
 U P G R A D E
 
 IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE AN EARLIER VERSION OF VPE ON YOUR
 SYSTEM, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO UPGRADE SMOOTHLY.
 
 1) Have all users save their QWIKs (Use ..QSAVE System QWIK).
 2) Make sure all users have halted off VPE Shell.
 3) Delete routines ^ZVEM*, ^%ZVEM*, and ^VEEM*.
 4) Kill global ^%ZVEMS.
 5) Load VPE_xx.MGR routines from the disk.
 6) DO ^ZVEMBLD to install VPE.
 7) Load VPE_xx.PRD routines from the disk.
 8) DO ^VEEMINIT to install VPE Fileman files.
 9) Start VPE Shell and run ..QSAVE to restore your QWIKs.
 10) Run ..PARAM to adjust your parameters.
 
 <RETURN> to continue, '^' to quit:
 
 D E I N S T A L L
 
 To completely deinstall VPE do the following:
 
 1) GLOBALS:      MGR      KILL ^%ZVEMS
 
 2) ROUTINES:     MGR      DELETE ^%ZVEM*
                  MGR      DELETE ^ZVEM*
                  PRD      DELETE ^VEEM*
 3) FILES:        PRD      DELETE VPE* files in FM

 Enter your VShell ID number. Your User QWIK commands will not be
 accessible if your ID is incorrect.
 
 For first time users: Your ID number can be a number from .1 to 999999,
 2 decimal digits. It can match your DUZ number but it doesn't have to.
 The VShell will use your ID to store data that pertains only to you. If
 VA KERNEL routine ^XUP is not in this UCI, you will need to enter your
 ID number each time you enter the VShell from this UCI.

 TERMINAL TYPE: C-VT320
 If your screen is now in Reverse Video, the REVERSE VIDEO OFF field in the
 TERMINAL TYPE file may not be correct for your terminal type. This will
 adversely effect some VSHELL screens and should be corrected.
 Type 'W $C(27,91,109)' if you need to return your screen to normal.

Note: I think that the errors are from GT.M complaining about non-GT.M code. Not to worry, there are code guards that will prevent this from being executed.

MUMPS SYSTEMS OTHER THAN CACHE and GTM:

Load VPE_12_Rtns.MGR into your Manager account (Note: See screen scrape of install in GT.M. shown above. Technique should be similar on Cache') and DO ^ZVEMBLD for setup instructions. Load VPE_12_Rtns.PRD into the account where you plan to use VPE and DO ^VEEMINIT to setup Fileman files (optional).

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION CACHE SYSTEMS:

Carefully read the instructions for loading the routines Load both VPE_12_Rtns.MGR and VPE_12_Rtns.PRD into the account where you plan to use VPE. It is necessary to instruct Cache to use the Cache format when specifying the type of routines. DO NOT presume you need to use MSM since the routines were saved in MSM formatting. DO ^ZVEMBLD for setup instructions. DO ^VEEMINIT to setup Fileman files (optional).
