GLENN EVERHART - FALL 82
THIS UIC CONTAINS A MUCH-MODIFIED SRD WHICH BUILDS UNDER RSX11M /M+ /IAS?
AND TRIES TO MERGE MANY OF THE OLD SWITCHES IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS. THIS
VERSION ALSO ADDS GREATER CONTROL OVER OUTPUT AND ATTEMPTS TO BE FORMAT
COMPATIBLE WITH OLD VERSIONS OF SRD OUTPUT. THIS MERGES VERSIONS BY
PHIL STEPHENSON, BOB TURKELSON AND GLENN EVERHART.

This UIC contains correction files for SRD V6.0, which was submitted to the
Spring 1981 Miami RSX SIG tape, in [373,4].
The modifications I made are:
o Corrected the problem with SRD.CMD which caused the generation of
incorrect initialization defaults when the <ESCAPE> feature was used.
o Changed SRD.CMD so that a different SRD.ODL file is generated when SRD
is built with FCSRES.
o Corrected a but which prevented /WB/-LI from working properly (the
directory was not sorted before the write-back).
o Changed SRD so that when the /SE switch is specified, /WI and /WD are
ignored; that is, there is no implicit wild-carding whenever the
/SE switch is used.
o Added the /ZE switch to list zero used block files.
o Added code so that if the file attributes area of the header contains a
value of 0 for the number of blocks allocated, SRD will calculate the
number of allocated blocks from the retrieval pointers.
The SLP *.COR files assume the Version 6.0 *.MAC files are in the current UIC,
and that they have file version number 1. The correction files create *.MAC;2.
Procedure: SLP @SRD.COR ! Corrects all necessary files
@SRD ! Asks configuration questions and builds SRD
I plan to make additional modifications before the next SIG tape. I will keep
Version 6.0 *.MAC files as the base, and add on to these correction files.
I would appreciate hearing from those who have made changes or plan to make
changes to this version, so we can continue to improve this useful utility.
