7. Abuse Of Cloud Services
Cloud computing allows organizations of all sizes to access vast amounts of computing power, but not everyone wants to use this power for good, the CSA warned. For example, an attacker could use an array of cloud servers to crack an encryption key in minutes.
Cloud providers need to consider how they can detect people abusing their service, how they define abuse and prevent it, the report advised.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

Morton, who famously collaborated with Diana, Princess of Wales to pen an account of her life, has hired Los Angeles private investigator and former gay adult actor Paul Baressi to probe on-going speculation the Top Gun hunk is gay.
Baressi has reportedly already given Morton letters from Cruise's attorney insinuating the star enjoyed a homosexual liaison while shooting Eyes Wide Shut in the UK.
Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields is quick to rubbish the story: "I wrote a letter to Mr. Morton back in November and said he obviously was entitled to write the book but 'make sure you check your facts'.
"If he tries to use my letter to create the impression that Mr. Cruise did have a gay affair, we will certainly sue... because the story is false. Mr. Cruise is not gay."

This is not a post informing you of the demise of Imported Chocolate, so you can stop clutching your chest. But it's no secret that I have stopped posting as often as I used to. There are many reasons why I stopped, but the main reason is because, as far as encouragement goes, there is a wealth of information any woman of color would need to start traveling on this blog.
Another reason is just that….dun, dun, dun, I'm kind of over non-fiction travel writing. I realized this when I was struggling to get through the "Hola, Morocha!" manuscript, but spent hours and sleepless nights passionately writing three fiction manuscripts.
That being said, I am a woman of my word and I'm still releasing "Hola, Morocha!" to the public. I will just be doing it via Watt Pad. I just don't have the time or money to self publish "Hola, Morocha!" like I planned. The book is meant to inspire or help those lost women of color get through the culture shock of living as a black woman in Buenos Aires. The book can still fulfill its purpose through Watt Pad. And the beauty of Watt Pad is the ability it will give me to release chapters as I go. Which means you all will get to start reading "Hola, Morocha!" right away. I'll be starting this process next month.
I'll be posting a downloadable copy of the free short E-book I've worked on in the book section of the blog as well. I had this big plan of distribution, but I decided to keep it simple.
There will be two "Hot Chocolate with a Local" this year. The first one starts next month.
I am still reading your emails and replying so please fill free to contact me any time. Oh! And I am still accepting blog contributions. So if you've just finished traveling somewhere exciting and new, please share your story.
My boyfriend and I are planning to go traveling for a full year together. We're calling it our world tour. He's a world traveler. I mean a super traveler. He's traveled to more places than anyone I've ever met and I'm so happy he's mine. I learn so much from him and I can't wait for us to explore the world together. Expect a blog post almost every day when we begin our travels. I'm sure there will be plenty of adventures.
So that's it for now. Thanks for your patience and continuing to support Imported Chocolate. Here's to a 2015 of travel!!!!!!!

Organizational Assessment and Improvement in the Public Sector
Calls for performance measures and metrics sound good, but public sector organizations often lack the tools required to assess the organization as a whole and create true change.In order to implement an integrated cycle of assessment, planning, and improvement, government agencies at all levels need a usable framework for organizational assessment that speaks to their unique needs. Organizational Assessment and Improvement in the Public Sector provides that framework, an understanding of assessment itself, and a methodology for assessment focused on the public sector.
The book introduces the concept of organizational assessment, its importance, and its significance in public sector organizations. It addresses the organizational theory that underlies assessment, including change management, organizational and individual learning, and organizational development. Building on this, the author focuses on the processes and demonstrates how the communication that results from an assessment process can create a widely accepted case for change. She presents a model grounded in the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Program criteria but adapted for the culture of government organizations. She also addresses the criteria that form the basis for assessment and implementation and provides examples and best practices.
Facing decreasing budgets and an increasing demand for services, government agencies must increase their capabilities, maximize their available fiscal and human resources, and increase their effectiveness and efficiency. They often operate in an atmosphere that prizes effectiveness but measures it in silos assigned to individual programs and a structure that encourages people to do more with less while systematically discouraging efficiency. Stressing the significant and important differences between a business and a government, this book supplies the knowledge and tools necessary to create a culture of assessment in government organizations at all levels.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. I've never attempted a marathon before, it's going to be quite a challenge!!!! I'm raising money for Coeliac UK, as my 10 year old daughter Nia was diagnosed at the age of 5. It took a long time for us to get our diagnosis and very few family and friends realised that she'd have this for the rest of her life. She's faced her challenges with courage and determination. She's adapted to her new way of living, even though she misses her favourite `chocolate eclairs'!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Coeliac UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Adrian
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.

Stephanie Pratt in Black Orchid
Audrina Patridge and Stephanie Pratt were spotted out in West Hollywood, California shooting scenes for MTV's "The Hills" on Robertson Boulevard while shopping at the Anya Hindmarch boutique. Stephanie was wearing a really cute pair of Black Orchid jeans and looking so darn thin! I love the wash on these jeans! Buy Black Orchid jeans at Boutique to You.
Charlize Theron in Black Orchid
Ok so these are older photos which I have been meaning to blog for a while but I couldn't find them! Charlize Theron was seen arriving at her hotel in Paris wearing Black Orchid Black Devil Jeans in Thunder. I originally thought these were Current/Elliott but they are not. I do have these jeans but I haven't worn them as they are too big on me, sigh. I love how Kristin Cavallari wore these jeans last time. Buy these jeans at Boutique to You.
Stephanie Pratt in Black Orchid Denim Vest
Stephanie Pratt wore Black Orchid's new Dream denim vest in Hurricane while on a coffee run. I am so in love with this vest!! It's beautiful! I love everything about it, the fit, the wash, the studs on the collar and the way they keep their pocket logo on the front pocket of the vest. This is definitely going on my wish list! Stephanie is really becoming quite a denim diva! Buy this vest at Boutique to You and use the code DenimBlog10 to get 10% off!
AnnaLynne McCord in Black Orchid
Annalynne McCord seems to be a big fan of Black Orchid jeans! She has quite a collection of them. She was seen at the 2010 Malibu Film Festival at Tracy Park Gallery in Malibu, California wearing Black Orchid's skinny jeans in Snow. I'm glad some of the celebs are bringing out the white denim from their closets for Summer, I love white denim! I'm liking AnnaLynne's bright yellow nail polish too! How pretty! Buy these jeans at Singer22.

MDRSESCO – Software for the Masses
the software described herein was designed and implemented by MARK DANA
ROCKMAN Email: usermark at mdrsesco dot biz.
BigDigitClock displays the current time-of-day. This seems trivial, but at a radio station,
with three analog clocks, that are supposed to be synchronized with a GPS
time-source, but aren't, this app fills a void.
Together with the KeepClockUpdated daemon, BigDigitClock let's announcers know when to begin speaking
at the start of a live broadcast.
finds corresponding files in two directory trees and merges them into a third
files may appear in one directory but not the other. These are sent to the output directory. Those files that appear in both directories
are compared to learn which one of the two is the more recent. The more recent one is sent to the output
is handy when you maintain several separate but related collections of files,
organized into directories and sub-directories.
It sometimes becomes convenient to combine collections through
CopyMaster is an app that allows you to
duplicate the latest directory structures and files so they appear on two
different computers at the same time.
This redundancy has two advantages.
First, there is a current backup copy of your important files. Second, there is convenience in being able to
find all your favorite stuff on at least two different computers.
How You Work It
Map the
A: drive to \\ComputerOne\C$ and the B: drive to \\ComputerTwo\C$.
Then launch CopyMaster. When CopyMaster finishes doing what it does do, you'll have two
computers that sport nearly identical contents (ignoring the operating system
and extra software files).
You can
create a $.txt file in the C:\Users\Public\$$$DeleteMe directory that instructs
CopyMaster to get rid of unwanted directories on both
you have a directory that contains a florid tree of sub-directories along with
files at many levels and you want to be rid of the whole mess.
has a rule that says you may not delete a read-only file. This prevents you from deleting a directory
that contains a read-only file.
Deltree: to the rescue. Just point Deltree
at the root of the mess and it's gone in three shakes of a lamb's tail.
Now try
doing that with the del or erase command in the
ordinary Windows shell. Oh. It will do something. But it won't do what you want.
WAVConcatX takes a collection of WAV files and
concatenates them. It optionally inserts
an audio separator between the files.
The output is a single WAV (audio) file made from the contents of the
WAV files in the aforementioned collection.
individual WAV files can exhibit varying attributes. For example, there is the sampling rate, one
channel or two channels, and sample size (8-bit, 16-bit). You choose the sampling rate and the number
of channels in the output file. WAVConcatX takes care of the necessary conversions.
Downdater for Windows PC
The longest common subsequence (LCS)
problem is the problem of finding the longest subsequence common to all
sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences). It differs from
problems of finding common substrings: unlike substrings, subsequences are not
required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences. The
longest common subsequence problem is a classic computer science problem, the
basis of data comparison programs such as the diff utility, and has
applications in bioinformatics. It is also widely used by revision control
systems such as Git for reconciling multiple changes
made to a revision-controlled collection of files.
A "downdater" is a text file
comparison program. It produces from
similar inputs (2 files) a differences file (1 file) that can be applied to the
"A" file to produce the "B" file.
Differences are denoted
The lines that follow –N are
inserted after line N in file "A". The
lines that follow –N,M are inserted in place of lines
N through M in file "A".
You can compare two files with DOWN
by using the following syntax:
<name-of-file-A> <name-of-file-B> <differences-file>
You can compare files in
corresponding directories with the following syntax:
DOWN <name-of-directory-A>
<name-of-directory-B> <differences-file>
When comparing directories, the
various difference files are separated with a record of the form:
Note that only certain source code
and symbolic files are eligible for comparison. A complete list is available if you send a
stamped, self-addressed envelope to the author.
A better way to compare an old
folder containing symbolic files with an updated version of the same folder
involves a special call to DOWN, followed by execution of a skeleton, followed
by execution of a BAT script that calls DOWN repeatedly to create several
differences files rather than the single such file that otherwise is
produced. The syntax of the special call
*<name-of-older-folder> <name-of-newer-folder>
Notice the asterisk that comes
before <name-of-older-folder. This
signifies that DOWN is to produce an SSG skeleton in the new-differences-file
together with an SGS file to be used with the skeleton. The skeleton, in conjunction with the stream
generation statements, produces a CMD script that builds a DifferencesFolder
inside the new-differences folder. Only
those folder pairs that exist and exhibit differences end up in the DifferencesFolder.
Example: Run DOWN *first-directory second-directory
directory-to-place-skeleton. Then CD to directory-to-place-skeleton and type RUN.BAT. This launches a lengthy DOS script that
repeatedly calls DOWN to construct a DifferencesFolder,
which see. As part of this mechanism,
the tree structures of the first-named directories are compared and differences
reported, if any. This operation
requires that you have installed the Symbolic Stream Generator (SSG).
A fourth argument on the command
line is optional and may be –N or –R.
You can suppress the Directory Structure Examiner with the –N
option. You can reverse the order of the
first two arguments with the –R option.
takes the output of DOWN and applies it to what is called a base text file to
produce an updated text file. For
example, suppose the base file is
And the
updated file is
DOWN will produce the following differences file
base diff updated
reproduces the updated file given only the
base file and the differences file.
Here is
a sample of real-world output. The
asterisk record signifies the following difference records apply to the named
implements the Luhn Algorithm. It allows you to enter a credit card number
and be informed whether it is valid. You
can enter the number as it appears on your credit card, with spaces every four
digits, press a button, and the spaces disappear. The number is copied to the Windows Clipboard
for pasting into a text box on some retailer's website. Retailer websites typically get upset when
you leave the spaces in place.
(Symbolic Stream Generator) is an app that compiles a program called a
"skeleton" and simultaneously compiles a text file that is filled with Stream
Generation Statements (SGSes). The skeleton contains the logic. The SGSes contain
the data. The program creates a text file
in accordance with directives in the SGSes. SSG is a handy tool when you want to
generate, for example, a lengthy program structure (e.g. a case statement for
incorporation within a C++ or C# app) based on a list of things. I have used it many times for that
purpose. But SSG is capable of doing
more complex things. For example, a
commercial software publisher uses it to generate MXML, the language of Adobe
Flex, to produce web apps that allow end users to enjoy a Rich Internet
Experience. The SGSes
describe what the page or pages are supposed to look like and the skeleton
transforms the description into exactly the right MXML for the purpose. You can RTFM at http://www.mdrsesco.biz/SSGManual.htm.
CORR is
the Directory Date Corrector. Ideally,
Windows would ensure the timestamp applied to every directory would reflect the
contents of each directory. The file
inside a directory with the latest last-date/time-of-modification would be
honored to have its timestamp applied to its enclosing directory or
directories. So that is what CORR
does. Which
directories (now called Folders by marketing) get what timestamps is decided by
tournament rules. CORR makes it
possible to inspect the folder contents of a folder and decide which folders
need further inspection because of recent updates to the files inside.
KeepClockUpdated is a service app that ensures the system clock stays accurate, with
checks done for accuracy every 5 minutes.
This entails a time source query every 5 minutes. In one commercial application, KeepClockUpdated is responsible for setting the clock on 24
different computers by comparing each computer's clock with a local time
source; one that obtains its very accurate reading from GPS satellites. (The native Windows time setting mechanism
only checks the computer maybe once per day.
Its time source is a computer on the Internet.) All the magic depends on an understanding of
the Network Time Protocol (NTP) that communicates via UDP on port 123. You can set the calendar and time-of-day to
an inaccurate value and wait until some multiple of five minutes past the hour
arrives on the clock. From the time
source, KeepClockUpdated obtains the date and time
and compares them with the computer's own notion of date and time. When the two are at variance, KeepClockUpdated changes the computer's clock and calendar
to match. KeepClockUpdated
is not appropriate to every setting. For
example, you would not properly employ it where the time source is not in the
same building complex as the computers that are running the app.
WINSVCFILCPY is service app that runs 24/7. Once a day, at 0300, it copies key files from
their usual staging area to a backup staging area. This is done in order to
mitigate the risk that the usual staging area, a Microsoft software-based
mirrored pair of HDDs, may become useless as a Microsoft software-based RAID-5
cluster did in September 2013.
FileLogger monitors file changes. It displays them as they occur in
real-time. It keeps a running log of
changes and can copy the log to a file if you choose to do so.
Generator generates random passwords.
They are, by default, a mixture of numerals, upper- and lower-case
letters. You specify the length you want
up to 40 characters. You can choose to
have only upper-case or only lower-case letters. A non-alphanumeric character can be randomly
inserted if you choose to do so. The
generated password is put on the Windows Clipboard for ease of placement in a
textbox on a web page. These passwords
are hard for hackers to guess and that makes them extraordinarily secure.
File Mover Service (FMS)
FMS is responsible for
copying TRV files in folders P1 through P9 from the production computer to the
backup computer. This is in progress all
the time, with throttling imposed to limit impact on an Interactive Voice
Response application, except during the graveyard shift. However, see note, below, regarding
limitations imposed by an Interactive Voice Response application. A given file is copied under the condition
that the source file is newer than the destination file or when there is no
destination file. For example, suppose \\DIALIN1\P1\1547.TRV is to be copied to \\DIALIN2\P1\1547.TRV . It
follows that copying will occur only when \\DIALIN2\P1\1547.TRV does not already exist and when \\DIALIN2\P1\1547.TRV
time-of-last-write indicates that it is older than \\DIALIN1\P1\1547.TRV .
You can change the
direction of copying with the application NamedPipesClient. Simply connect, then type from-1-to-2 or
from-2-to-1 in the Send Message area of the dialog box and press the Send
button. When you switch the phone lines
from DIALIN1 to DIALIN2 (or the reverse), you should remember to change the
direction of copying. NamedPipesClient must be run with elevated privileges.
Individual Computer Housekeeping Service (ICHS)
ICHS is responsible for
performing three functions:
1. Midnight Movers
2. Sunday Movers
3. Richmond Download
Midnight Movers happens
at 29 minutes past midnight every night.
It prepares for the upcoming business day by clearing today's stories
out of their today's slots and moving them to yesterday's slots.
Sunday Movers happens at
28 minutes past one o'clock on Sunday morning.
It prepares for the upcoming business week by clearing files from their
daily slots and putting them into a weekly backup location.
Richmond Download
implements the File Transfer Protocol so as to acquire copies of files 1501.TRV
through 1505.TRV, which are voice files from the Richmond Times-Dispatch. This download occurs daily at five minutes
past noon.
Original P1 Daily Copy To New P5

Per the script that
formerly was launched on Sundays:

move p1 2501-2599 to p1 9601-9699",
move p1 2401-2499 to p1 9701-9799",
The indicated files
are deleted from the P1 directory, copied from the P1 directory, or relocated
away from the P1 directory, in the indicated order. The sb notation
indicates that copying is directed to the SundayBackup
Simple Backup/Restore
makes backup files from collections of directories. You choose which directories to backup. The backup file sports the filename extension
.SB. The content of each backed up file
is internally associated with its name and its time of last modification. Simple Backup/Restore was developed in
response an incident where a commercial file backup app failed when the
computer, which it was backing up, failed catastrophically. The partially readable backup file had to be
recovered through the purchase of additional commercially available software
that was capable of sifting through a complex, partially corrupted
database. The central concept of System
Backup is simplicity. A partially
completed backup file remains readable. All the work completed up to the point of
failure, if any, is fully recoverable without resort to extraordinary means.
Metropolitan Washington Ear, a radio reading service for the blind, offers
audio streaming via the Internet. They
moved to their own, dedicated building and infrastructure in 2008. Their website was not appropriately updated
to cater to different audio streaming software.
This web page was developed by MARK DANA ROCKMAN to allow listeners to
hear the audio stream: something that
was impossible before I created this page and hosted it on my corporate web
A Complete List of Rockman's
Text Editor Commands
General Principles
The Rockman
Text Editor accepts commands from the keyboard or from a file. The syntax
of the shell command is
[name-of-file-to-be-edited [name-of-command-stream]]
You can omit both command line
arguments, in which case commands can establish what is to be edited, and
commands shall originate at the keyboard. You must provide name-of-file-to-be-edited
when you want to provide name-of-command-stream.
Commands comprise three parts: 1)
the name of the command, 2) option, 3) arguments.
r,11 PAIJ
contains the r command, the option 11, and the argument PAIJ. Only the
name of the command is mandatory.
The editor maintains the file that
is being edited in area called the memory file. The content of the
memory file can be created from scratch or it may originate in a file in
a file system on a device. The primarily purpose of the Text Editor is to
support your efforts to make changes to the memory file.
Eventually, once you are done making changes, the memory file is copied to a
file in a file system on a device for long-term storage.
The editor is either in EDIT mode or
in INPUT mode. You can switch between modes by entering a blank line. In EDIT
mode, you can instruct the editor with commands. In INPUT mode, non-blank lines
are successively added to the memory file.
The editor pulls all of the file's
text into memory. In memory is where all the editing occurs. At the end of your
editing session, it is your choice whether to save any changes that you have
made or to discard the changes. Type EXIT to save the
changes. Type OMIT to discard them.
While you are editing, keep in mind
that there is always a current line, which you can see by typing PRINT.
Navigation throughout the memory file is by line number, which may be absolute
(e.g. go to line 5) or relative (e.g. go 5 lines down from here).
The text editor is one of several Rockman's Tools that you may find useful. The Symbolic
Stream Generator allows you to write programs that generate text files
based on simple, structured data. The Downdater
allows you to see the differences between text files presented in -n and
-n,m notation. SIRASM2
allows you to apply changes in -n and -n,m notation to a text file in order to obtain a
new text file.

Command Documentation
The add command brings in at the
current location additional lines from either of two sources. If you name a
text file then the full file is added at the current point in the file being
edited. If you don't name a file then lines from the most recent COPY or DCOPY
command are added at the same place.
The append command relocates the
current edit point to after the last line in the file being edited. The editor
then goes into INSERT mode.
The begin command works with the
COPY and DCOPY commands to mark the starting line of a copy operation.
The bt
command displays the operating system version, the computer name, the time of
last system reboot (also called system restart), and the duration of current
system uptime. Additional information about the computing environment is
provided in the edit file. For example, OSArchitecture
64-bit is an environmental factoid that may interest you.
The cd
command changes the current working directory to the named directory.
The change command replaces one
occurrence of a string with something else. The argument contains the pattern
/old-string/new-string/ where the slash is some convenient delimiting
character, old-string is a substring to be replaced, and new-string is what the
replacement shall be.
The changeall
command is identical to the change command except that all occurrences of
old-string on the current line are changed.
The changewholefile
command is identical to the changeall command except
that the entire file being edited is targeted for change.
The climit
command limits the range of columns affected by any of the forms of the change
command. Specify the left and right column numbers separated by a comma.
Example: cli 4,6
The close command causes the editor
to write the lines in the memory file to disk and then causes the editor to
The commands command lists the cannonical names of all the editor's commands in sorted
The copy command creates a store
that contains the lines between the begin marker and the current line.
The cpumask
command reports the configuration of central processors in the local
The deleteafter
command finds a match on the current line, erases the match, and everything to
the right of the match.
The dcopy
command is identical to the copy command except that the lines that are sent to
the store are deleted.
The delete command removes one or
more lines from the file being edited starting with the current line. You can
specify the number of lines to delete (e.g. DELETE 5). The default number is 1.
The dhold
command saves the current line to a special store (named the "hold"
buffer) and deletes the line from the file being edited. You can resurrect the
line with the dup command.
Suppose you have a folder. In that folder are several other
folders. These are top level
folders. You want to know how much space
the files in those folders occupy. The dirsize command reports that information.
The dnext
command deletes the current line and sets the current line to the line that
follows it.
The dse
command performs a Directory Structure Examination. You can detect
structural differences between similar directories. A structural difference
occurs when a directory or a file appears in one root directory but not in the
corresponding place in the other.
The dup command inserts one or more
lines at the current position. The lines inserted originate in the hold buffer.
You can specify the number of lines to duplicate (e.g. DUPLICATE 5). The
default number is 1.
The eject command causes the
operating system to flush the buffers of a removable device and, perhaps, to
physically eject the device. The format is ej
The elname
command displays the name of the file that is being edited.
erl command does a patterned extract of records from
a comma-separated values file. The idea
is to get rid of the column heading records and various interstitial records
that clutter up the file. You specify,
in order, the name of the input file, the name of the output file, the number
of records to discard at the start of the file, and the number of records to
skip following those records that are retained. The command assumes that
retained records boast of a date in MM-DD-YY format in the leftmost
column. Since Excel handles that format
inconsistently, the command reformats the date to Month Day, Year format. For example, 01-02-03 is transformed to
"January 2, 2003". If you have a text
file open when you type in the erl command then the
extracted lines end up in the file. If
not, not. The command to extract
retained lines could be: erl C:\Users\Public\TESTBED.TXT
"C:\Users\Public\Outlet.txt" "2" 1
The exit command causes the editor
to write the lines in the memory file to disk and then causes the editor to
The f1 command changes routes.rb in a Ruby on Rails application file so that the
application uses named routes.
The filecompare
commands performs a byte-for-byte comparison of the two files that you
name. The answer is YES
or NO. YES: the two files are
identical. NO: the two files are
different. Suppose some program you've
been using for years suddenly halts with an addressing exception. Suppose you have a backup copy of the .EXE
file. Suppose you compare the backup
with the production copy. Then you can
assure yourself that the problem is not due to file corruption.
The find command searches the lines
following the current line for a matching pattern. In the pattern, space
characters match any character at the same relative position on a targeted line.
You can use find to locate based on columnar position. When a tab character is
defined (see tab command), you can use them as part of the pattern. For
example, suppose LMJ appears in columns 11, 12, and 13 respectively. With the
tab character set to semi-colon and tab positions set to 11, 21, and 39, the
find ;LMJ
matches on the first line following the current line that contains
LMJ in columns 11, 12, and 13. The command option specifies the desired
number of match occurrences. The default is 1.
The flist
command creates in the current file a complete listing (with headings) of the
symbolic files of the named directory.
The getfiles
command calls System.IO.Directory.GetFiles() to obtain a list of the files in the named directory. This list does not include the names of any
directories in the named directory.
Interestingly, some files that are, in fact, in the named directory, are
omitted. You can see these files with
the shell dir command.
The goto
command relocates the current position to the line whose number is given. A
synonym for goto is simply the line number.
The head command is identical in
function to goto 1.
The hold command saves the content
of the current line to a special place inside the editor called the
"hold" buffer. You can resurrect the line with the DUP command.
The hw
command sets a horizontal window on the file being edited. The window applies
to a specified range of columns. For display purposes only, columns outside the
window do not appear. Suppose you want to see columns 11 through 21. You enter hw 11 21.
The ibefore
command is identical to the insert command except that the line is inserted
before the current line.
The insert command inserts a new
line after the current line.
The kill command terminates the
process whose name you specify.
The last command relocates the
current position to the last line in the file.
The lgoff
command causes the editor to exit without saving the current file and causes
the Windows logon session to terminate.
The locate command is similar to the
find command except that there is no columnar bias in the pattern. Searching
begins with the first line after the current line and is not case sensitive.
The ls
command lists the directories and file in the current working directory.
The mdl
command maps a drive letter to a share (i.e. a shared directory (also known as
a shared folder)). The argument is of the form <drive-letter>
<share>. Example: mdl B
The next command relocates the
current position to the next line in the file.
The o command is similar to the
print command except that printing starts with the line following the current line.
The omit command causes the editor
to exit without saving the memory file to disk.
The open command
begin a new editing session by loading the named file's lines into
memory. The named file must pre-exist.
The opennew
command is similar to the open command except that the file need not pre-exist
and, if it does, the content of the file is truncated.
The own command reports the owner of
the specified directory or file.
The print command prints the current
line and the next n minus one lines that follow it,
where n is the number stated in the command. Example:
means print the current line and the 4 lines that follow it.
The ps
command reports the names of existing processes. Any of these could be terminated using the
kill command.
The putquotesaround
command revises the lines of the current file so that each line is quoted
(surrounded by double-quotes) and preceded by the characters TAG followed by a
space. Should a line contain a double-quote character, putting quotes
around a quote character would be ambiguous. You can provide a
substitute for such characters as in PQA `. In this example, the `
character replaces all occurrences of ". The default substitution is
The pwoff
command causes the editor to exit without saving the current file and causes
Windows to power off the computer.
The rb
command causes the editor to exit without saving the current file and causes
Windows to reboot (also known as "restart") the computer.
The retype command is similar to the
insert command except that the line affected is the current line. The
option of the retype command, when present, specifies the column at which the
first character of the argument is to be placed. For example,
r,11 LMJ
leaves alone the content of columns 1 through 10 and puts the
argument into the line starting at column 11.
The reverse command reverses the
order of the lines in the file. For example, the file 1 2 3 becomes 3 2
1. Apply the command twice and 3 2 1 becomes 1 2 3.
The ro
command takes a directory argument and marks as read-only all the files the
directory (and its directories and their directories). The opposite operation
is handled by the uro command.
The scale command prints a column
scale extending from column 1 through column 80.
The sort command reorders the lines
in the memory file so that they appear alphabetically.
The tab command allows you to
establish a tab character and several column stops. This is handy when entering
columnar data. For example, if you enter the command
tab ; 11 21 39
then enter the command
;LMJ;X11,EDIT$;. Open the EDIT$ packet
you will create a new line with the various segments
left-aligned at the indicated column stops.
The td command displays the date and
time last written of the file being edited.
The toc
command erases the current file in memory and creates a new file in memory that
enumerates the directories and files in the named directory.
The top command sets the current
line to zero.
The touch command updates the
time-of-last-write of the argument file to match the current time. Should the
file not exist, it is created with zero content.
The up command sets the current line
to the line immediately above (numbered one less than) the current line.
The uro
command removes the read-only attribute from all the files in the argument
directory (and the directories it contains and the directories they contain).
The vw
command sets a vertical window in which appears a subset of lines of the file
being edited. If an n-line subset of the file is in the vertical window then
the lines are numbered 1 to n and changes that you may apply affect only the
lines in the window. You set the vertical window by stating the starting and
ending line numbers as in vw 2 4 which saves the
entire file to a hidden location and commences editing of the subset. You merge
the subset back into the main file by entering vw
without arguments.
The winplaces
command displays the folderpaths of all the system
special folders. When a text file is open it is replaced with a report similar
to this:
The wpt
command waits for a process to terminate. Just give the name of the process and wpt loops until the named process disappears from the
The write command transfers the
lines in memory to the named disk file and terminates the editor.

app is much handier than pointing and clicking around Windows' own user
interface for doing what SHUTDOWN does.
In some contexts there is no obvious way to cause Windows to reboot.
Sometimes you just want to see
exactly what a file contains.
A computer that runs 24/7 is
responsible for an IVR application. The
application maintains a large set of files inside a directory structure. There are two kinds of file: audio and database. Both kinds are possessed by the IVR
application in that they are to be instantaneously available to the IVR
application. Interference from applications
outside the IVR application is dealt with severely: the IVR application reboots the
computer. It deals with every anomaly
this way. There is no log entry
documenting the fact that the IVR application has decided to reboot the
computer. We just watch, in horror, as
the machine restarts. It would be
convenient for the manager in charge of the IVR application to become cognizant
of the situation immediately upon its occurrence. Enter MWE-DIAL-IN-CRASH-MONITOR, which pings
the computer and plays a tune in the event of no response.
Numerous reboots over the years have
been described as being due to interference from applications that are outside
the purview of the IVR application.
Somebody "locked" the file. That
is to say, some application has opened the file so it can be backed up for good
and proper administrative reasons.
Other potential problems revolve around file metadata such as who owns
the file, whether the file is compressed, whether the file is read-only,
whether the file has other strange attributes like SYSTEM and HIDDEN. Folklore tells us the IVR application is
quite strict as to what attributes a file may be blessed with. These, we learn, are N (the attribute a file
gets when it has no other attributes) and A (the attribute a file gets when it
is ripe for being backed up). All others
are forbidden. When the IVR application
finds a tainted file, it reboots the computer.
Folklore isn't necessarily an
accurate reflection of reality. In
actual fact, the IVR application probably reboots the computer only in the
event of a file access conflict and for reasons that have nothing whatever to
do with the file system, its behavior and contents.
TRT32 FILE REPAIR aims to change
file metadata to conform to the IVR application's strict attributes rules.

Interoperability: Hooking
Managed Code to Unmanaged Code
code is produced by Visual Studio for consumption at runtime by a Just-In-Time
(JIT) compiler. The JIT Compiler
transforms Intermediate Language (IL) to machine code and performs runtime
checks for type safeness and validity to ensure proper operation and
security. IL is code written for a
machine that hasn't been realized in hardware but is code that can readily be
transformed to machine code. Code that
is written in languages such as C# and Visual Basic becomes IL before it
becomes machine code.
(INTEROP) is the mechanism that enables the methods in managed code to call the
methods in unmanaged code.
code is produced by Visual Studio for languages like C++. This is direct-to-machine-code
compiling. The only validity checks are
the ones that are performed during compilation.
C++ programs are ready to load and execute. There is no JIT compiling. There is a variation of C++ that can be
compiled to IL and which uses the Common Language Runtime of the .Net
Framework, the same as C#. Why use
unmanaged code? It is because a C++
program is the place where you have access to the entirety of the Win32
API. Many operating system features are
virtually inaccessible from managed code. There is no support in CLR, for
example, that lets a programmer instruct the operating system to reboot
itself. Named pipes? There is nothing in CLR for those. But Win32 and INTEROP provide the
solution. In the case of named pipes,
there is no need for a DLL. INTEROP
takes care of the whole problem.
the case where a Win32 method must be invoked in order to complete the
requirements of a C# application program.
The Windows API, informally WinAPI,
is Microsoft's core set of application programming interfaces (APIs) available
in the Microsoft Windows operating systems. The name Windows API collectively
refers to a number of different platform implementations that are often
referred to by their own names (for example, Win32 API).
entails marshaling of arguments and of a return value. A programmer writes the Win32 method in C++,
compiles it into a Dynamic Link Library with a specific release of Visual
Studio, and chooses whether the DLL is targeted for a 32-bit or a 64-bit
environment. Another programmer writes
C# code that calls the Win32 method. In
C# the programmer must declare the external method and decorate the declaration
which names the containing DLL and its location in the file system. When deploying the solution, the end user
must be provided with the C# executable (the .EXE file), the C++ dynamic link
library (the .DLL file), and instructions on which Visual C++ Redistributable
Library must be installed to make a home convivial to INTEROP and Win32
executable code.
made-up term bitness refers to machine and operating
system architecture: 32-bit or 64-bit.
The Intel 80386 and follow-on products are 32-bit platforms. Advanced Micro Devices invented what became
the industry standard 64-bit architecture, well after Intel's introduction of
its proprietary 64-bit Intel Itanium Architecture. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-64. Intel
now also manufactures in accord with the Advanced Micro Devices' design. When 64-bit is referenced, the architecture
that springs to mind is the AMD one, not the Intel one; although they persist
and co-exist. Windows operating system
SKUs come in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors.
Either of these can be installed on 64-bit hardware platforms. On 32-bit hardware platforms only 32-bit
Windows can be installed. Visual C++
Redistributable Library comes in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. (The 64-bit flavor can be used only on
computers that are running a 64-bit version of Windows.) There are several versions of Visual C++
Redistributable Library that are individually associated with specific Visual
Studio releases. The Visual Studio
release is the one that is used to compile the unmanaged code. Some combination of Visual Studio release,
Visual C++ Redistributable Library, 32-bit/64-bit compilation choice, hardware
platform bitness, and operating system bitness can be found that will support successful INTEROP
Here is
how C# is used to declare an external C++ method for calling via INTEROP.

The Care and Feeding of Named Pipes in Services
In computing, a named pipe (also known as a FIFO for its behavior) is
an extension to the traditional pipe concept on Unix
and Unix-like systems, and is one of the methods of inter-process communication
(IPC). The concept is also found in OS/2 and Microsoft Windows, although the
semantics differ substantially. A traditional pipe is "unnamed"
because it exists anonymously and persists only for as long as the process is
running. A named pipe is system-persistent and exists beyond the life of the
process and can be deleted once it is no longer being used. Processes generally
attach to the named pipes (usually appearing as a file) to perform
inter-process communication. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe
A named pipe is a message conduit.
It bi-directionally conducts messages between processes. Program A and Program B can connect to a
named pipe and send messages to each other without involving rotating magnetic
memory devices. All the magic happens in
software and in main memory.
Named pipes are especially handy when it becomes necessary to
communicate with daemons, also-known-as Windows NT Services. The term daemon is popular in Unix and is almost unknown in Windows, but the concept is
the same. A daemon is a program that generally
starts automatically after a reboot and runs constantly. It runs independently of a shell or graphical
user interface, which makes it hard to communicate with them. Enter named pipes. With named pipes, an application that
possesses a user interface is able to send and receive messages to and from a
The daemon implements a named pipes Server that is constantly watchful
for Clients that wish to connect to the Server.
Independent Client sessions are thereby established and lines of
communication opened.
* The Server
* The purpose of The Server is to maintain and
service a collection of clients who connect via a mechanism known as Named
* There is no .NET API for Named Pipes. So The Server uses System.Runtime.InteropServices
to call the necessary Win32 APIs.
* Fortunately, the APIs are not
too complicated nor demanding.
The Named Pipes methods are CreateNamedPipe
and ConnectNamedPipe.
* These are defined by the Windows Dynamic
Link Library file kernel32.dll. The
trick is in parameterizing the calls correctly.
* Named Pipes is the perfect mechanism for
communicating with a Windows Service. A
Windows Service is a process that Windows
* starts at boot time. There is no conventional user interface. For example, a Windows Service has no shell
and no GUI.
* The Server maintains a non-generic List (a
collection) of Client objects. The
Client object is a non-behaving structure that
* represents an individual
connected client by Named Pipes handle and Filestream,
if any.
* The Server sends messages to users via an
event mechanism. Users register a method
that is called when
* The Server sends a message that it has
received from a client.
* Users of The Server are able to send
messages. When this happens, each of the
connected clients is destined to receive the message.
* Said users send messages to The Server via
the SendMessage() method of The Server.
* The Start() method of The Server gets things
going by forking a thread to field messages that clients send to The Server.
* The aforementioned thread is called The
Listener because it "listens" for clients to "speak." The Listener is a
* perpetual loop that
exits only when a Named Pipes error occurs or because somebody calls the Stop()
method of The Server.
* On each pass of the loop The Server calls CreateNamedPipe to obtain what is called a Client
Handle. This call blocks
* until a client
connects or until Named Pipes (the complex of software) decides that blocking
forever would be futile.
* For example, the process may be
exiting. In that case, CreateNamedPipe returns an invalid handle, which is
detected and
* handled by The Server by terminating The
Listener thread. Normally, CreateNamedPipe returns a valid handle and this
* represents a connecting
client that usually may be found running in a separate process. The method ConnectNamedPipe
* called to complete the connection between
client and server. Should this error, The
Server terminates The Listener.
* In the usual case of "no error,"
The Server creates a new Client object and puts the handle in it. Then The Server
* locks the client list and adds the Client
object to it in one atomic action.
Finally, The Server forks a thread to handle
* the arrival of
messages from the client. The Reader (as
represented by the Read() method of The Server) is
passed a
* reference to the
aforementioned Client object.
* The Read() method
of The Server creates a FileStream object based on
the handle in the Client object that The Listener passes.
* Then The Reader enters a perpetual loop that
terminates upon the occurrence of an error condition or the Stop()
method is called.
* A reference to the FileStream
is put in the Client object next to the handle and the FileStream
Read() method is called.
* This call blocks until a message arrives or
an error condition arises. A zero length
message is an error condition that may
* occur after the client disconnects. In the normal case, bytes arrive and must be
dispatched via an event to the user of
* The Server.
The bytes are first converted to a string. In the error case, the handle is closed, the
stream is closed,
* and the client
object is removed under lock from the client list. The Reader thread is then terminated.
* The user of The Server is responsible to
provide the name for a Named Pipe that matches the name that clients will use.
* For example, if X is a reference to The
Server object then X.PipeName can appear to the left
of the assignment operator to
* receive a string of the form
\\.\pipe\<name-of-pipe>. The user
then must register a method to handle message arrival events.
* As before, X is a reference to The Server
object. So X.MessageReceived
can appear to the left of the delegate add operator.
* The assignment is of a delegate instance
that points to a method that shall be invoked by The Server when a message
* The method receives two arguments in the
following order: 1) a reference to the
client object, and 2) the message as a string.
* The user of The Server is in full control of
the life of The Server. Life begins with
initialization and Start() and ends
* with Stop().
Solving Mysterious System Crashes
Suppose your
computer performs some vital function and it reboots during peak usage periods
for unknown reasons. You'd like to know
why, wouldn't you? Enter the system dump
and dump analyzer. To enable Windows to
take a dump you must configure Windows to do so. Ideally you will collect as much data
possible in order to allow the dump analyzer the greatest opportunity to spell
it out for you. Microsoft provides some
guidance on how to size the page file since that file receives the memory dump
during the crash. See https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2860880
According to that
document you should configure the page file by following to the formula A+B,
where A is the amount of main memory in the computer's hardware and B is
257,000,000 bytes. B is space required
to accommodate symbol tables and headers for the various portions of the
dump. Ideally your computer will take a
full system dump when a crash occurs.
The other options are "no dump at all," and "a minidump."
If your system is
crashing and you cannot find a dump file (filename extension .dmp) then likely your page file is too small. On a Windows XP machine with 2GB of main
memory 4GB (the maximum allowed) of page file should be plenty.
Usually that
which causes system crashes is third-party device drivers that contain faults
and issues. Imagine a linked list that
contains an invalid address in one of its pointers.

You get a switch to throw that picks the kind of dump to be
produced. You get a number to specify
that establishes the size of the Windows Page File. To produce a full memory dump after an
unfortunate computing event (i.e. a crash), the page file will have to be
larger than the number of bytes that physical memory will hold. Naturally, a memory dump has metadata
alongside a clump of bytes. If you have
2GB of physical main memory then 4GB of page file should be more than
adequate. You can leave page size
management up to Windows to perform, but the question remains whether Windows
is up to the task, especially when the object of the game to is to guarantee
that a panic dump is available in the event of a crash.
In order for dump analysis to work correctly, WinDbg
requires the symbol table that is created by Microsoft when it does the RTM
build of Windows. You require a specific
symbol table for the specific Windows build that produced the dump.
Naturally, this issue progresses to questions such as 1) Where do I get WinDbg and 2) Where do I get the symbol table? Also, if I get the symbol table, where does
the symbol table get put by the symbol table installer? The installer makes a Federal case out of
copying a file, a set of files, and/or database and neglects to mention where
it is located. _NT_SYMBOL_PATH is an environment variable (you
may want to create it) that translates to a string that names the location of
the symbol table if you knew where that might be.
It can be reliably
reported that WinDbg comes with the Windows Driver
Kit, which you can download at no cost to you.
And symbols are readily available at
Download Windows
Symbol Packages
According to PROCMON,
a delightful tattletale, the place where the symbols installer puts all those
PDB files is C:\Symbols. So you should
go to Advanced Settings and equate _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to C:\Symbols.
You might also try
setting _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to the following
This last one
takes the prize cake. It turns out that
symbol tables for the exact build you are running are almost impossible to
find. To fix that little conundrum there
exists a way for your favorite debugger (I love WinDbg)
to satiate its craving for symbol tables by drinking from the online fountain
in The Cloud. That "DownStreamStore," above? That's The Cloud. So my recommendation is that you set
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH to the aforementioned value.
You get far less complaint from WinDbg about
undefined symbols.
Do Not Block the
Message Pump
The message pump
drives the "app." Without messages
flowing, the program stops behaving.
That is to say, there is no behavior.
You, the end user, see a Not Responding message. That means the "app" is not processing what
may well be a lengthy queue of messages.
That's because the "app" is busy doing things other than processing
messages. Solution? While you think the purpose of your program
is to solve a business problem, Windows knows better. The real purpose of your program is to
process messages. So you must create a
thread to handle the business problem.
The initial thread thus is dedicated to handling messages.
