  [357,1] Contains an assortment of changes to RSX-11M V3.2.
Each  change  should  be evaluated on its merits for a given
site.  All changes have been in use but of  course  are  not
guaranteed.  A good system manager takes a hard look at each
possibility and either uses it directly or  as  a  hint  for
another change.  The following are included:


     PAT.CMD is an indirect file which helps to make  object
changes from the Dispatch articles.

     CORAL.COR,     INITL.COR,     IOSUB.COR,     SYSCM.COR,
SPROVFDT.COR,  and MCRDEF.COR are correction files which im-
plement  pre-allocated  I/O  packets  and  only  retain  the
pre-allocated  ones on I/O termination.  Most of this is due
to Steinberg's submissions on the last DECUS tape.

     HELLO.COR is a minor change to the same file  from  the
Spring tape.  There was a problem with 'matchall' characters
in lower level help sections.

     INDNP1.COR removes some unused messages  from  the  11M
version of Indirect.

     INDOPN.COR makes Indirect  non-privileged  during  file
opens (so users can't write/append files that would normally
be inaccessible.)

     INDSU2.COR prints  MCR  lines  if  quiet  and  tracing.
Double tracing is also eliminated for .WAIT, .IFINS, .IFACT,
...

     TKTN.COR is changed to not print task  registers  if  a
load failure occurred.

     LBRLI.PAT modifies the listing format to allow for  the
SYSLIB date routine which was changed from 3.1 to 3.2.

     P5CEL.PAT modifies TKB CREF output when a symbol is de-
fined  in  the root and referenced by up-tree elements.  The
value was formerly not relocated if the task was privileged.

     SLPR11.PAT modifies the SLP page format to  center  the






listing thereby making it easier to bind the output.

     SLPSB.PAT corrects a problem with the placement of  the
delete  audit  trail  (;**-n) in lines which are longer than
the audit position and have tabs in the last 'n' characters.

     HELP.ULB is a complete copy of my help files.  Many  of
these originally came from J.  Downward's contribution a few
SIG tapes ago.  Many new ones have been added and  many  er-
rors  have  been corrected.  Since we run a single user sys-
tem, some of the multi-user comments have been deleted.

     Several BRU patches:

     BRUREAD.PAT corrects the error  recovery  procedure  on
TU10/TE10 drives (originally tried to do a read reverse fol-
lowed by a skip record).

     COMLIB.PAT prints the tape label as part of the  direc-
tory listing.

     TAPEIO.PAT  corrects  a  line   in   dispatch   article
5.1.17.16 which caused BRU initialized discs to appear to be
created on the date of the backup but the time  of  the  re-
store.
