OMSI Pascal interface to RMS-11(K) for the PDP-11 Users

This account contains all the necessary files, documentation and example
programs for interface to RMS-11(K) from OMSI Pascal Version 1 or 2.
Since PRM was developed on the (more advanced) RSX system, the installation
will be much easier for you RSX users. PRM has never been tested on RSTS/E
but using the RSX Run-Time-System, there shouldn't be any problems.

ALL USERS:
o Get a hardcopy of the PrmPas.Doc file for reference.
o Transfer files to your system and build the PrmPas library.
o Compile and build the example programs to check your installation.

IF RSX-11M/M+:
o Use PrmXfr.Cmd to transfer all necessary files to your system.
o Use the PrmPasLib.Cmd file to build the PRM library.

IF RSTS:
o Modify the contents of the PrmXfr.Cmd file to RSTS transfer file commands.
o Modify the PrmPasLib.Cmd file to build a library on RSTS.


PRM has been working for us at 3M Engineering System & Technology Labs and
has saved us a lot of development time. We plan on switching to VAX Pascal
when the new version supporting RMS-32 Indexed files is released. It seems
that OMSI doesn't feel that there is any need to interface to RMS from
Pascal based on the number of requests from their customers. OMSI also
seems to be dragging their heels on development of a VAX native mode
compiler. Hopefully VAX Pascal will fulfill our needs.

Good Luck with PRM. - Ken Tibesar - 3M Engineering
