VMSCOMLIB DOCUMENT The VMSCOMLIB.PAL file is an edited disassembly of the COMLIB module from the BRU of RSX11M+ V2. It has been edited to permit it to be assembled and replaced in the BRU object library and to allow BRU to write to mounted Files-11 disks under VMS. Use at your own risk, but it'll probably work OK, even on ODS-2 volumes. Note that you need to use the RSX device names; if you use a name like DRA1: it stops on the A and assumes you mean DR0:. You'll possibly need some privs to use BRU on VMS. Be very careful of LOG_IO; you shouldn't have that. However you may need SYSPRV to allow BRU to create directories or files with file owner UICs other than yours. As long as you lack log_io, BRU can't screw up your disk though. Obviously, one uses BRU to read RSX tapes (e.g. the huge SIG tape collection). Don't make a habit of using it for anything else; on a VAX you should use the VMS BACKUP utility which is more capable at error recovery. Glenn Everhart This version HAS been tested and will, assembled the default way, give a BRU that can read BRU tapes onto mounted VMS (yes, even ODS-2) disks. I don't know if it will create UFDs or not; I have my doubts. You will probably need SYSPRV or BYPASS to allow BRU to create files in original accounts. Note: use the unpatched version to initialize complete disks (in ODS-1). BRU can only write tape from ODS1 volumes, NOT ODS2. To use, get a BRU object kit from your favorite RSX site and then: 1. MCR MAC COMLIB=VMSCOMLIB.PAL ;ignore one Z error 2. MCR LBR BRU/RP=COMLIB 3. build BRU using the command files from the RSX site after possibly removing UIC dependencies.
