SEATTLE IAS CONTRIBUTIONS This tape consists of 4 contributions from the IAS community of the Seattle Area LUG. Two of these are modifications to DEC software (CDA and BRU) and only the modified objects are included. For those with source licenses, SLIPER (.SLP) files are included that will make the necessary changes to the respective DEC source modules, if desired. The 4 contributions and their UIC's are: 1. IAS C ( [5,3], [5,4] and [5,5] ): This is the earlier DECUS C submission with "IAS incompatible RSX bugs" removed. There is one outstanding problem with DECUS C (all versions) - the library DOES NOT support doubles. As long as you don't use doubles, everything appears to work OK. If anyone out there has some free time on their hands . . . . . [ed - moved to [330,5] through [330,7] ] 2. CDA ( [302,204] ): DEC's Crash Dump Analyzer package modified to create and run from a disk image of the crash tape. These disk images can be copied or transfered via DECNET, if desired. 3. BRU ( [302,205] ): DEC's infamous backup/restore utility made user friendly. changes include: 1. Disks can be mounted normally. 2. UIC's can be changed between disk and tape and vice versa. 3. DIR/DIS info can be written to a disk file instead of just to the terminal. 4. INIT switch has been removed. This prevents users restoring a single file from wiping out an entire disk. It also allows backup of disk types outside of the standard DEC family, e.g., virtual disks such as DV. 4. Virtual disk handler ( [302,206] ): Resubmission of the virtual disk package submitted to the Spring 1980 tape on [377,40]. Most of the changes are cosmetic in nature. The package is well documented in the handler source code. This version has one serious drawback in that it is a single volume handler. That is, only one virtual disk can be mounted at a given time. Multiple users can each mount the same virtual disk separately, but different virtual disks cannot be mounted at the same time. Again, if anyone out there has some free time . . . .
