C ETHERMON is a software implementation of an Ethernet line activity  B monitor. It uses any VAX/VMS DEC-compatible Ethernet interface to F collect the data, and reports statistics in a form similar to the VMS G MONITOR utility. It also can collect Ethernet data for post-processing  L by a user-supplied offline program (sample programs are supplied). ETHERMON I can determine symbolic identifications of remote nodes automatically, or  D have them defined manually; these symbolic identifications are used J in ETHERMON's displays and reports. ETHERMON can also recognize equipment ! other than DEC's on the Ethernet.   H ETHERMON.COM is the build file; the documentation is stored in the filesG ETHERMON.PS (PostScript), ETHERMON.LN0 (DEC LN03), ETHERMON.LPT ("dumb" I line printer or plain-text), and ETHERMON.MSS (Scribe manuscript source). G The on-line help library ETHERMON.HLB must be in the same directory as  G ETHERMON.EXE when executing the program in order for the built-in HELP  K command to work. A full file manifest is given in section 2.1 of the user's  manual.   H ETHERMON's executable can be run either by a foreign command definition I or a DCL RUN command. The unsupported utilities are to be invoked by RUN  G command only (they do not check the command line for their parameters). J A protected shareable image must be compiled and linked under your currentI version of VAX/VMS and installed by your system administrator before use; B please see section 2.2 of the user's manual before using ETHERMON.  H These files were compiled and linked using VAX FORTRAN V5.3 and VAX/VMS I V5.2-1. Naturally, the executables will not run on an earlier version of  # VMS; feel free to rebuild the code.   F If you have any questions or comments, the author's address is in the J user's manual. I welcome comments regarding bugs and possible improvementsI for ETHERMON, although I cannot promise to add every feature you ask for. " Thank you for trying this program.  + Andrew Pavlin, TCP/IP network administrator 6 General Electric Co., Aerospace Information Technology Syracuse, NY 13221 U.S.A.  email: pavlin@syr.ge.com voice: 1-315-456-6212  fax:   1-315-456-0956 + (information current as of 29 October 1992) 
