o For terminals that care about Data Set
  Ready (pin six), tie pin six to pin
  four (Request to Send).
^
o Protect terminal lines from thunder-
  storms!

o Understand the meaning of a non-zero
  HUNG TTY count!

o Make as many monitor options memory
  resident as feasible.

~    V8:  Sysgen options into the monitor.
~         ------
~
~    V9:  LOAD/OVERLAY xxxx
~         ------------
^
o Select overlapped seek for multiple
  disk drives.
^
o In V8, sysgen directory (FIP buffer-
  ing) and data caching (Extended data
  buffering) into your monitor.
^
o Allocate 10% - 15% of memory to XBUF.
^
o Change the cache replacement time to
  eight - sixteen seconds.

~    V8:  Patch Seq 3.1.2 F
~         -----
~
~    V9:  SET CACHE/KEEP=12
~                  --------
^
o Use a data caching cluster size of
  four.

~    V8:  System start-up question
~         ------------------------
~
~    V9:  SET CACHE/CLUSTERSIZE=4
~                  --------------
^
o Sysgen monitor stats and watch the
  system.  Control stats gathering via
  the switch register or by switching to
  another RSTS monitor SIL that does not
  contain stats.
^
o In V8, sysgen disappearing RSX into
  the monitor.
^
o Run REORDR at least once a week.
^
o In V8, use a large PIP buffer for
  "big" file transfers.

~    PIP/SI:28 [123,8]*.* = [210,10]*.*/W
~       ------
~
@ or with enough main memory, modify
@ your V8 startup files so that PIP
@ always runs in 28K (like in V9).

~    UT CCL PI-P=$PIP.SAV;8220
~                         ----
^
o Use PIP for directory listings, not
  DIRECT.TSK/DIRECT.BAC.

~    V8:  PIP/L
~         -----
~
~    V9:  DIR                                                   -DCL command
~         ---
^
o In V9, relocate files using PIP's
  /RETAIN switch so that incremental
  backups will not tape files that have
  not changed.

~    PIP DU1:[1,23]*.*/RETAIN = DU0:[2,10]*.TUE/W
~                     -------
^
o In V9, use PBS for printer spooling
  and running batch jobs instead of
  OPSER.
^
o Use batch jobs at night to do general
  housekeeping.
^
o Use DCL (V8: ATPK) command files for
  routine operations.
^
o Put as little as possible in any one
  account, especially in account [1,2].
^
o Use a Dynamic Priority (DYNPRI)
  program to help schedule users.

@  re:  BIGBRO.TSK
^
o Make changes to files stored in
  account [0,1] (such as START.COM)
  using the following steps:
~
~    1.   COPY [0,1]START.COM *.*
~
~    2.   EDIT START.COM
~
~    3.   DIR/FULL START.*
~
~    4.   If START.COM and START.BAK occupy the same number of disk blocks,
~
~                 COPY/OVERLAY START.COM [0,1]*.*
~         else        --------
~                 COPY/CONTIGUOUS START.COM [0,1]*.*
~              or
~                 PIP [0,1]*.*/MO:1552 = START.COM/W
^
o Discover the unsupported Commonly Used
  System Program (CUSP):  CONNEC.BAS.
^
o Protect the hardware!
^
o Avoid BASIC-PLUS programs that cause
  garbage collection.
^
o Use the shared version of EDT.
  (Requires disappearing RSX in V8).
^
o TREKIE?
^
o Thanks go to members of the Carolinas
  LUG for their RSTS Hints suggestions.
