[357,1] Contains an assortment of changes to RSX-11M V3.2.
Each change should be evaluated on its merits for a given
site. All changes have been in use but of course are not
guaranteed. A good system manager takes a hard look at each
possibility and either uses it directly or as a hint for
another change. The following are included:


PAT.CMD is an indirect file which helps to make object
changes from the Dispatch articles.

CORAL.COR, INITL.COR, IOSUB.COR, SYSCM.COR,
SPROVFDT.COR, and MCRDEF.COR are correction files which im-
plement pre-allocated I/O packets and only retain the
pre-allocated ones on I/O termination. Most of this is due
to Steinberg's submissions on the last DECUS tape.

HELLO.COR is a minor change to the same file from the
Spring tape. There was a problem with 'matchall' characters
in lower level help sections.

INDNP1.COR removes some unused messages from the 11M
version of Indirect.

INDOPN.COR makes Indirect non-privileged during file
opens (so users can't write/append files that would normally
be inaccessible.)

INDSU2.COR prints MCR lines if quiet and tracing.
Double tracing is also eliminated for .WAIT, .IFINS, .IFACT,
...

TKTN.COR is changed to not print task registers if a
load failure occurred.

LBRLI.PAT modifies the listing format to allow for the
SYSLIB date routine which was changed from 3.1 to 3.2.

P5CEL.PAT modifies TKB CREF output when a symbol is de-
fined in the root and referenced by up-tree elements. The
value was formerly not relocated if the task was privileged.

SLPR11.PAT modifies the SLP page format to center the






listing thereby making it easier to bind the output.

SLPSB.PAT corrects a problem with the placement of the
delete audit trail (;**-n) in lines which are longer than
the audit position and have tabs in the last 'n' characters.

HELP.ULB is a complete copy of my help files. Many of
these originally came from J. Downward's contribution a few
SIG tapes ago. Many new ones have been added and many er-
rors have been corrected. Since we run a single user sys-
tem, some of the multi-user comments have been deleted.

Several BRU patches:

BRUREAD.PAT corrects the error recovery procedure on
TU10/TE10 drives (originally tried to do a read reverse fol-
lowed by a skip record).

COMLIB.PAT prints the tape label as part of the direc-
tory listing.

TAPEIO.PAT corrects a line in dispatch article
5.1.17.16 which caused BRU initialized discs to appear to be
created on the date of the backup but the time of the re-
store.
