As Team Leader for a large System integration and software development project Mr. McClure assisted in designing and developing a system used to provide real-time data for correlation and analysis.  Development was based on distributed processing between IBM 4381, a DEC PDP 11/70 Network Processor, Communications Support Processors, a Message Support Processor, and Workstations on an Ethernet LAN with external gateways to communications networks such as world-wide 1822J and X.25.  He wrote communications programs using C with TCP/IP (streams and sockets), ICMP, FTP, and TELNET on UNIX Workstations.  He provided workstation/mainframe connectivity with an IBM/SNA SDLC link using 3278 emulation.  He wrote applications and system software in C, M204, FORTRAN, and MACRO-11.  Mr. McClure created high level simulation support software and graphics programs on Workstations utilizing UNIX system tools and the Graphics Kernel System.  He provided training programs on UNIX Workstations for programmers, and gave capability briefings to a variety of senior officials.

 

As Project Manager for Network management software development Mr. McClure designed and developed a hardware and software system of integrated network test tools to measure performance on both pre-operational and operational networks.  The system software was written in C under UNIX on a AT&T 3B2/400 computer.  The software performed network throughput, stress, and error testing for mutiplexors, hosts, and both LAN and remote gateways.  The tools also performed protocol testing (TCP/IP, ICMP) by allowing a user to modify standard packet leaders and then trace the packets as they moved through the network.

 

As Project Manager for Network management software development Mr. McClure worked on the design team for a Distributed Network Monitoring Center and related subsystems.  The network is a world-wide packet-switched network using X.25, 1822J, and a wide variety of network protocols (such as NCP and TCP/IP) and host computers (such as IBM 4381, IBM 370, DEC VAX, AT&T 3B, and Honeywell).  He assisted in the design of the Distributed Security Monitoring Subsystem.  He also designed the Distributed LAN Monitoring Subsystem and the Graphic Network Display Subsystem.

 

As Managing Engineer, Mr. McClure managed and operated a large organization's Computer Facility and DECNET/ SNA networks.  He advised ADP managers on VAX System Tuning and wrote programs in DCL and FORTRAN to assist them in tuning/optimizing their newly purchased computer suite of clustered VAX 8600's.  He advised them on setting up long-haul SNA application systems in FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C, and PL/1 (to run in a distributed processing environment on VAX VMS, WANG Alliance OS, IBM 370 OS, networked between various Data Centers). He was also responsible for R&D Projects such as writing programs to interface with touch screen monitors, evaluating C code controlling optical scanners, communications design and implementation using DECNET and SNA gateways;  DEC, IBM, and WANG code conversion and communication tasks; CAD system installation and software development with TEKTRONIX 4215B minicomputers in PASCAL, and designing and developing and NCR Tower UNIX.  He maintained the system software for NCR TOWERs, TEKTRONIX 4315B Graphics Processors, Hewlett-Packard Minicomputers, DEC VAX 11/730,750,780, and IBM.  He performed system engineering tasks such as systems tuning and system optimization on VMS, UNITY, MVS, VS, and UNIX based machines.  He also designed and built several software applications systems, a CAD system, and communications programs in C, FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL, and VAX DCL.  Mr. McClure assisted in the design of digital communications standards for the 34,000 offices in the United States.
