Distribution kit for SAVRES V7.3d (31-Aug-88) Updates V7.3 to V7.3d - Fix bug in MS: streaming code (at last!) - Remove SAVRES.DOC from distribution - insufficient room! - Tidy error messages; fix bugs in error messages - Add .FETCH before rewind/unload - Fix bug (CLOSE mag tape rather than PURGE) Updates V7.1 to V7.3 - Put in /F - fast streaming - switch; if used, try using SPFUN -9 on the handler. - Put in /V - verify after save or restore without asking, if only the one volume used. - Put in facility to test whether tape is properly loaded to cope with odd MS problem. Since this uses a rewind and asks questions if this prangs, it is not able to be used with /N or /E. Put version message out if he types a blank line at "From?" rather than all the bloody time. Updates V7 to V7.1: - ability to specify disc files for save/restore/verify with tapes; - ability to control rewinding of tapes to allow easier use of multiple files on one tape. - warning if tape is not correctly loaded - bug fix in SC handler to allow this to work. SAVRES is distributed with the following files: SAVRES.RNO Documentation for SAVRES - Save & Restore Programme [SAVRES.DOC no longer in kit - make it from SAVRES.RNO] SAVRES.SRC Compressed sources for SAVRES SAVRES.COM Command file to build SAVRES and SAVREX COMPRS.SAV Compress/decompress programme for sources SCNEW.MAC Mapped SC handler for TSX-plus. Works fine for RT but cannot be used to make SB (block structured handler). SCNEW.TSX Handler for TSX. SCNEW.SYS Handler for RT, assembled with no options. TSXPRE.MAC Prefix file for TSX assembly SETLIN.MAC Programme to set serial line parameters SETLIN.SAV SETLIN.DOC PCLV11.DOC Extract from the PCLV11-J Technical manual, describing this software distribution, CUTIL, SCINIT and bootable tape creation. SCOLD.COM Command file for generating the SC.SYS handler. SCOLD.MAC Source for RT-11 SC handler (provided to make SB handler) SCBLOK.COM Command file to generate SB block structured SC handler. SCBLOK.MAC Source for block-structured SC handler SB.SYS That handler CUTIL.MAC Cartridge Tape Maintenance Programme CUTIL.SAV REGDEF.MAC SC Register Definiions SCBOOT.SAV Programme to generate bootable SC tapes. SCINIT.MAC Programme to initialize SC tapes SCINIT.SAV SYSGEN.CND A SYSGEN conditional file - adapt for your own handler XM.MAC Prefix file to generate SAVREX DEBUG.MAC Prefix file to generate debug code within SAVRES To generate SAVRES, copy SAVRES.SRC, SAVRES.COM, and COMPRS.SAV onto a working disc area. Then type .@SAVRES COMPRS will be run, expanding SAVRES.SRC into the source files. The three routines SAVRES (root segment), SAVINI (initialization) and SAVFLP (save on floppies) will be assembled. Then the three flavours of the tape routines will be assembled using prefix files with SAVTAP, providing SAVSAV (save onto tape), SAVRST (restore from tape), and SAVVER (verify). The routines will be linked as appropriate to their overlay positions, providing SAVRES.SAV, SAVRES.MAP and SAVREX.SAV and SAVREX.MAP.
