HPX is a utility to transfer files between local devices or the screen display
of a Hewlett-Packard HP2648a terminal and a PDP-11 running RSX-11M/M-PLUS. It
also runs on a VAX under the VAX-11 RSX Applications Migration Executive.

The distribution kit contains the following files:

HPX.MAC		MACRO-11 source for HPX.
WLDCRD.MAC	MACRO-11 source for wildcard filename lookup inteface.

VAXRSXMC.MAC	Dummy RSXMC.MAC for assembling to run under the VAX AME.

HPXASM.CMD	Command file to assemble the above for PDP-11.
HPXASM.COM	Command file to assemble for VAX RSX-11.
HPXBLD.CMD	Command file to task-build without a resident library.
HPXRESBLD.CMD	Command file to task-build with FCSRES.
HPXFSLBLD.CMD	Command file to task-build with FCSFSL (RSX-11M-PLUS ONLY).
HPXDEBBLD.CMD	Task-build command file for debugging.

HPXTEST.CMD	Command file to test HPX.
DISPLAY.TXT	Text files for use with above -- shows the special character
DISPLAY.BIN	enhancement modes of the terminal.

HPX.HLP		Help file -- include in RSX system MCR.HLP and/or DCL.HLP.
HPX.RNH		Help file RUNOFF source for VAX/VMS.

HPXBUILD.MEM	Build and installation instructions for System Manager.
HPXUSER.MEM	User manual.
HPXBUILD.RNO	RUNOFF source of HPXBUILD.MEM.
HPXUSER.RNO	RUNOFF source of HPXUSER.MEM.

Read HPXBUILD.MEM for further instructions.


			CAUTIONARY TALE FOR VMS USERS

HPX had suffered horribly at the hands of the VAX-11 RSX developers. It tests
all the terminal QIO emulations they don't test. I have generated more tears
and SPRs from HPX than any other program I have ever written. It has so far
unfailingly ceased to work with every new release of VAX-11 RSX. The code is
overloaded with conditionals on the value of V$$AX1, which tells which release
to bodge it for. Currently, it has conditionals up to V2.3. If you get a later
version, it will probably stop working again. Contact me if desperate (but I
don't guarantee I won't be too).
