! RTPAT.RNO NAB/1738/SNL 05-AUG-80/06-AUG-80. .PAPER SIZE 60,72 .UPPER CASE .LEFT MARGIN 8 .RIGHT MARGIN 64 .CENTER RT-11 V4.0 Patches .CENTER 06 Aug 80 .PARAGRAPH Patching RT-11 V4.0 as directed by the "RT-11 Software Dispatch" is accomplished by executing the RTPAT.COM command file. Assignment of logical unit names is performed within RTPAT.COM prior to the calls to the command files which actually perform the patching functions. .BLANK .CENTER *****##CAUTION##***** .BLANK .LEFT MARGIN 16 .RIGHT MARGIN 56 A "cherry" working copy of the RT-11 binary distribution is always required when installing these patches. .LEFT MARGIN 8 .RIGHT MARGIN 64 .PARAGRAPH RTPAT.COM calls additional command files whose names match the sequence numbers in the "RT-11 Software Dispatch". For instance, sequence number 7.9.1 will have a command file name of 070901.COM. The list of sequence numbered calls in RTPAT.COM will essentially match the Cumulative Index of the "RT-11 Software Dispatch". .PARAGRAPH The sequence numbered command files then use the SLP text files and call the SIPP command files as defined within the "RT-11 Software Dispatch". .PARAGRAPH This particular implementation assumes the availability of three volumes of mass storage: SYS for the booted operating system, DST for the working copy of the RT-11 binary distribution and PAT for these patch files and scratch space. The booted operating system should be updated by the user after all patches have been installed on the working copy of the distribution media. .BLANK 2 .INDENT 16 N.#A.#Bourgeois, Jr. .INDENT 16 Sandia National Laboratories .INDENT 16 Systems Engineering Division 1738 .INDENT 16 P.#O.#Box 5800 .INDENT 16 Albuquerque, NM 87185 .INDENT 16 (505) 844-8088 .BREAK
