THIS TAPE CONTAINS THE MODULES FOR TWO TASKS.
	
	1.  TASKER	IS COMPOSED OF
	
		TASKER.CMD (TASKBUILD COMMAND FILE, MCR MODE)
		TASKER.FTN
		OP.FTN
		DOIT.FTN
		REG.FTN
		OCTL.FTN
		BAD.FTN
		FILL.FTN
		INIT.FTN
		BRA.FTN
		CHANGE.FTN
		SRCH.FTN
		OTHER.FTN
		HDR.FTN
	
	2.  SEE		IS COMPOSED OF
	
		SEE.CMD (TASKBUILD COMMAND FILE, MCR MODE)
		SEE.FTN
		GETSYS.MAC
		HOLE.MAC
	
***  THESE TWO TASKS ARE USABLE ONLY ON AN IAS VERSION 3.0 SYSTEM  ***
	
------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
TASKER IS A UTILITY FOR EXAMINING AND MODIFYING TASK IMAGE FILES ON DISK.
IT HAS FOUR FUNCTIONS:
	
	UPDATE
	REPORT
	SEARCH
	HEADER
	
UPDATE MODE ALLOWS THE USER TO DISPLAY ANY WORD OF THE TASK (AS AN OCTAL
NUMBER) BY VIRTUAL ADDRESS, AND ENTER NEW CONTENTS IN IT.  THE NEW CON-
TENTS CAN BE TYPED IN AS OCTAL, ASCII, OR ASCII TO BE CONVERTED TO RAD50.
	
REPORT MODE ALLOWS THE USER TO DISPLAY (OR PRINT) ANY WORD OR SECTION OF
WORDS OF THE TASK AS OCTAL, ASCII, RAD50 CONVERTED TO ASCII, OR AS MACRO
SOURCE CODE.
	
SEARCH MODE ALLOWS THE USER TO ENTER ONE OR TWO WORDS AS OCTAL, ASCII, OR
ASCII TO BE CONVERTED TO RAD50.  THEN TASKER REPORTS THE VIRTUAL OF EVERY
OCCURENCE OF THIS WORD (OR WORDS) WITHIN A SPECIFIED ADDRESS RANGE.
	
HEADER MODE DISPLAYS (OR PRINTS) INFORMATION FROM THE TASK HEADER IN AN
EASILY READABLE FORMAT.
	
RELATIVELY SIMPLE CHANGES CAN BE MADE IN PLACE TO LARGE OR INSTALLED 
TASKS BY USING THIS UTILITY.  DATA AND/OR CODE CAN EASILY BE CHANGED IN
FORTRAN-WRITTEN TASKS BY USING TASKER IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN F4P LI:3
LISTING AND A TASKBUILD MAP.
	
------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
SEE DISPLAYS THE SYSTEM STATUS ON A VT52 OR VT100.  IT TELLS THE TIME,
THE NUMBER OF FREE NODES, THE SIZE OF THE LARGEST HOLE, AND THE CON-
TENTS OF THE ATL AND MRL.  PARAMETERS CAN BE SET PRIOR TO COMPILE TO
DETERMINE SEPARATELY THE UPDATE INTERVALS OF TIME-NODES-HOLE, AND
ATL-MRL.  ALSO, PARAMETERS DETERMINE HOW MANY TIMES THE SCREEN UPDATES
BEFORE THE PROGRAM TIMES OUT, AND HOW LOW SYSTEM RESOURECES CAN GO
BEFORE THE PROGRAM BEGINS TO SOUND WARNING BELLS.  SEE CAN BE TERMINATED
AT ANY TIME BY TYPING ANY PRINTABLE CHARACTER.
	
SEE HAS SOME ADVANTAGES OVER POOL, SYS, AND DEMO.  POOL DOESN'T GIVE THE
ATL AND MRL.  SYS DOESN'T GIVE THE NODES OR HOLE.  IF THE DEMO SCREEN IS
ADJUSTED TO DISPLAY ALL OF MEMORY, THEN SOME SMALL TASKS MAY NOT BE DIS-
PLAYED.  ALSO, SYS AND DEMO NEVER SHOW TIMESHARING TASKS AS BEING IN THE
MRL.  SEE SHOWS ANY TASK WITH A STATUS OF 'MRL', 'MRE', OR 'MRR' AS BE-
ING IN THE MRL, WHETHER THE TASK IS TIMESHARING OR REALTIME.
