This area contains four packages which we have found useful.
Virtual Disks: This is a composite of previous VD (and VE) software,
with a few additions. It has worked flawlessly for
us for some time. M+ V2.1 and V3.0 and maybe M as well.
Virtual disks are especially nice on single disk Micro-PDP
systems. We have put together files that will help
unfamiliar people overcome their hesitancy about
putting in VDs.
See README.VD.
Clunk Conversion: We pulled a CLUNK time routine from an old article,
then discovered it told time like a 2 dollar watch!
This is the fixed up version. Any M or M+ version.
See README.CLU.
EFN: Everyone sooner or later writes or borrows an
event flag manipulator. This is ours. Works from
indirect command file or TI:, can set or clear
ranges of flags with a single command. Does Group
Globals as well as Globals. Any M or M+ version.
See README.EFN.
KEY: Time to put those VT220 programmable keys to work!
This is our program to setup the programmable keys
(shifted function keys) on the VT220 terminals.
It can do programming on the fly, or do it from
commands in an existing setup file. Task image
should run on any M or M+ system. Need OMSI Pascal
to recompile sources, but the main source is
supplied should you wish to do it in some other
language. See README.KEY.
Most of this is in MACRO, with a bit of FORTRAN and PASCAL thrown in.
See individual README files for addresses or tel numbers of people
who can answer questions or receive comments about each submission.
