The TYPe command offers the following features: It has uses an 'attach w/ ast' QIO to catch characters typed while it is outputting. All are ignored except ^C & ^Z, both of which cause typeout to terminate quietly at the end of the current line. Thus long files may be inspected quickly, and easily terminated without the usual ^C followed by 'ABO PIP' followed by the usual task termination notification stuff. It supplies a banner indicating the full file specification, including device, UIC, & version #, as well as date & time of last file update. This banner may be suppressed with a /-TItle switch. The lines of the file may be truncated to fit on your terminal without wraparound, thus allowing quick searches for error-flagged lines, etc. This feature is invoked w/ a /TRuncate switch. The default width to truncate to is one less than your terminal buffer size, for those terminals (many) which automatically insert a pair after receiving the last character of its print line (e.g. ADM-3's and ADDS's). The default may be overridden with an optional argument, vis. /TR:40 (assumed decimal). If you can't remember the switches, you can type TYP /HElp to get a prompt. You can also specify more than one filename on a command line. Questions or bugs to: Jim Neeland Hughes Research Labs 3011 Malibu Canyon Rd. Malibu, CA 90265 (213) 456-6411, ext. 333 Installation Notes ================== The TYPE.OBJ file is probably usable as-is. The TYPE.TKB file will have to be modified to reference either your resident FCS library (our latest version is called FCSLIB) or deleted if you have none.
