	ALL FILES WITH TYPES "CMM" SHOULD BE COPIED INTO [2,1]
WITH EXTENSION "CMD". LIKEWISE ALL TECO FILES.

	SOURCES FOR RSX 11D/11M/IAS FOCAL ARE INCLUDED. ASSEMBLE AND
TASKBUILD IN YOUR SYSTEM TO GET FOCAL RUNNING. DOCUMENT FILES ARE
INCLUDED.

	THE REVISED LIST/RSX PROVIDES NUMEROUS OPTIONS, INCLUDING THE
ABILITY TO SKIP CHARACTERS ON INPUT LINES AND COMPLETELY SUPPRESS
PAGINATION IF DESIRED. ALSO, OUTPUT IS FD.CR NOW AND SPOOLS BETTER, AND
THE PROGRAM HANDLES FUNNY RECORD FORMATS (E.G. PIP DIRECTORIES) BETTER.

	GB AND GBNEW ARE REVISED GARBAGE DEVICE (BIT BUCKET) HANDLERS
WHERE GBNEW WILL COPY DATA VIA QIO$ TO LUN 2, THEN DISCARD IT IF SWITCH
14 IS UP. GB ALWAYS DISCARDS IT. HANDY AS A /DD DUMMY SORT OF THING.

	ASDEV AND ASSIGN ARE AN ASSIGNABLE SEQUENTIAL DEVICE THAT WILL
LOOK LIKE A SEQUENTIAL I/O DEVICE (TERMINAL) TO A CALLER TASK BUT WHICH
MAY HAVE AN INPUT AND/OR OUTPUT FILE ASSIGNED ANYWHERE ON THE SYSTEM,
SO YOU CAN DO A SIMPLE QIO TO A FILE VIA AS:. THE TASK MAY BE USED AS
A PSEUDO TTY FOR FORTRAN TASKS THAT DON'T USE GCML TOO. (OR FOR ANY
OTHER PURPOSE). ASSIGN IS THE MCR COMMAND TASK TO CONTROL IT. (ANY
PROGRAM MAY ISSUE THE QIO TO AS: TO OPEN/CLOSE FILES THOUGH.)
	NOTE THAT ASDEV CAN ALSO DO INSTANT QIO$ TO A TERMINAL SO IT
CAN BE USED TO CAPTURE CO: OUTPUT ON A FILE AND ALSO EMIT THE ERROR
MESSAGES IN A TIMELY WAY.

	THE INDIRECT MCR WILL INTERPRET UNRECOGNIZED COMMANDS
BY ADDING "@[2,1]" TO THEM AND LOOKING FOR A COMMAND FILE. THE
...AT. PROCESSOR WILL COPY ANY TEXT AFTER A SPACE IN THE CALLING
MCR LINE INTO A STRING CALLED "CMDLIN" WHICH MAY BE USED BY CALLED
PROCEDURES. ALL FEATURES OF THE INDIRECT PROCESSOR FOR RSX11D HHAVE
BEEN PRESERVED OTHERWISE FROM THE CHICAGO TAPES VERSION. THE ".CMM"
FILES ARE EXAMPLES OF SUCH COMMANDS. THIS MAKES IT EASY TO ADD MCR
COMMANDS WITHOUT OVERFLOWING YOUR STD.
	INDMCR ALSO ALLOWS COMMANDS STARTING IN "LOG" AS COMMANDS
WHEN NOT LOGGED IN. ("YAK" IS TREATED AS A COMMENT NOW.) THIS ALLOWS
A LOGIN COMMAND TO SAY HOW TO LOG IN.
	ALSO, IF THE PREALLOCATED VARIABLE "LSTCMD" IS SET FALSE,
...AT. WON'T PRINT POSSIBLY SENSITIVE INFORMATION. A COMMAND FILE
CAN PREVENT USERS FROM SEEING WHAT IT'S DOING IF DESIRED. SPECIAL
STRINGS CONTAINING SINGLE AND DOUBLE QUOTE CHARACTERS (SQUOTE AND
DQUOTE) ARE ALSO PROVIDED. (NOTE: THE "EVAL" TASK ASSUMES FOCAL IS
INSTALLED).

	DSKFIX IS A DISK PATCHER THAT GOES BY ABSOLUTE BLOCKS AND IS
HANDY TO HAVE TO FIX UP OR MOVE DISK BLOCKS. IT IS RATHER POWERFUL, SO
BE CAREFUL ABOUT INSTALLING IT FOR THE GENERAL USER.

	CR11 IS A CARD READER HANDLER FOR RSX11D THAT ALLOWS THE FULL
ASCII CHARACTER SET TO BE READ IN. ALL MULTIPUNCHES ARE DOCUMENTED.

	TAPE AND TPC.CMD (WITH ASSOCIATED FILES--SEE TPC.CMD) ARE A
TAPE POSITIONING MCR TASK USABLE FOR READING/WRITING  CARD IMAGE
FILES IN ASCII OR EBCDIC. AGAIN, ALL CODES ARE SUPPORTED. THE
ASCEBC SUBROUTINE MAY BE USED FOR TRANSLATION IN ANY GENERAL
FORTRAN PROGRAM.
	THE COMMAND "TPC HELP" WILL CAUSE TPC TO PRINT ERROR MESSAGES.

	MAP IS A PARTITION MAPPER, REVISED FROM THE ONE I PUT INTO THE
DECUS LIBRARY TO ALLOW FULL 22 BIT MAPS.

	BD IS A HANDLER FOR UP TO 2 MBD-11 CAMAC BRANCH DRIVERS. THE FILE
MBDPRG (AND MBDDEF) ARE MBD RESIDENT EXECUTIVE PROGRAM CODE TO ASSEMBLE
WITH SYSTEM.MAC TO RUN WITH THE BD HANDLER UNDER RSX11D. (CODE HERE IS
FOR RSX11D WHERE PRIVILEGED, THOUGH DSKFIX AND SEVERAL OF THE OTHER
TASKS ARE NONPRIVILEGED AND OUGHT TO WORK WITH RSX11M TOO. THE BD HANDLER
IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LASL VERSION IN THAT IT DOESN'T NEED ANY SPECIAL
CAMAC HARDWARE (POSSIBLY IN THAT IT HANDLES UP TO 2 MBD'S TOO...).

	MASTRM AND BARON ARE GAME PROGRAMS FOR MASTERMIND AND BARON.
	GAMES.FCL IS A COLLECTION OF CONCATENATED FOCAL GAMES.
	NGET.MAC IS A FORTRAN CALLABLE SUBROUTINE (USING THE FPP-11 UNIT)
THAT WILL EXTRACT AN INTEGER GIVEN A START WORD AND BIT FROM THE LEFT OF
THE WORD (NUMBER OF BITS TO SKIP IN THE WORD), FOR UP TO 56 BITS. THE
RESULT IS RETURNED AS A DOUBLE PRECISION FLOATING POINT NUMBER WHICH IS
USABLE FROM FORTRAN DIRECTLY. THIS IS HANDY FOR DECOMPOSING DATA WRITTEN
BY ODD HARDWARE. MOVEUP.MAC IS A SUBROUTINE THAT WILL MOVE AN ENTIRE
ARRAY BY ANY NUMBER OF BITS (TO LOWER ADDRESSES).

	RCO.MAC IS THE "PATCH" PROGRAM OF R.B. FRENCH AS PUBLISHED IN
THE SIG NEWSLETTER, WITH THE LATER CORRECTIONS TO MAKE IT WORK BETTER.
IT IS OK FOR SINGLE HEADER FILES BUT SCREWS UP MULTI-HEADER ONES. IT IS
THERE FOR USER CONVENIENCE ONLY.

	DDT.MAC IS A PDP-10 - LIKE DDT FOR THE PDP11. IT ALLOWS I/O VIA
RSX LUNS OR VIA HARDWARE DIRECTLY (CONDITIONAL ASSEMBLY), REQUIRING ACCESS
TO AN EXTERNAL PAGE COMMON FOR THE LATTER.
