Subject: Guide to IND procedures on this tape.
A number of IND command procedures have been developed in the
last year at the Ames Laboratory. We have attempted to put
them in order so the general public can make use of them. We
found serious need for them and tend to believe that others
out there have similar needs.
With the help of a talented programmer name John Beyer who
worked for the Lab last summer as a trainee, we began by
generating F77.Ind (which is released in F77IND.DSK). This
formed the template which led to more sophistication in our
FLECS.IND command procedure which helps with the development
of structured Fortran. Ed over a longer period of time
generated BAKALL.IND (which is released in BAKALL.DSK) to help
automate our weekly backup process. And in the same spirit as
the F77 procedure, Ed generated RUNOFF.IND to help with Bonner
Lab's Runoff.
The Runoff.Ind command file has been included here although it
is very new and not as well documented. As with the other
command files, online HELP is available and is sufficient to
learn how to use it. It will expect Sy:Runoff.BL and
Sy:DISPLA.IND to exist. Runoff.Ind is big because it has im-
bedded in it the definitions for the LN03 and the VT100 escape
sequences. You may want to add your particular printer sup-
port.
Displa.Ind is a simple way that we get around the
non-existence of the Display command on RT-11 so we can write
command procedures that work on both RT and TSX.
One of the nice aspects of the way these procedures work, is
that they do not require that you SET KMON IND. In fact, as
documented you will still be able to have SET KMON NOIND in
effect at all times, yet take advantage of IND when needed.
