This UIC contains the USGS submissions for the Spring 1983 SIG tape.
Included are the following programs/files:

BACBRU Utilities A Pascal program and indirect command file for M-Plus
systems to implement incremental disk backups using
Virtual Terminals. Provides neatly formatted output
from BRU, and may be executed from Batch to provide
daily backup with a log of all backed-up files.
See [307,20]BACBRU.DOC for futher details.

BUGSF82.TXT A list of known problems with the U.S.G.S Fall '82
submissions.

AST.RNO Handout accompanying the Spring '83 DECUS session
AST.DOC "Hows and Whys of ASTs," originally published in
the RSX/IAS Spring '83 DECUS Handout. If you want
to know anything about ASTs in RSX, this handout
should cover it.

NEWFIXER Replacement for FXR... task distributed with M-Plus
systems, which recovers from hard memory parity
errors. DEC's version has problems; you may want
to try using this one. See NEWFIXER.DOC
