Adding validation function to the deploy_ftp.sh script to ensure the upload was successful. If the upload was not successful, the script will exit with status code 1 and fail the build
The INQUPD program is run in "normal" mode, such that it processes
files in the INQUIR directory with FN1 = .UPD1., and we provide such a
file with the XGP user defined. We can, of course add other users
that we wish to be "pre-loaded" in the INQUIR database.
This PR changes the way that the INQUIR database is installed into ITS.
Previously, we included a binary INQUIR;LSR1 1 database on the tape we
load. Now, we build the INQUPD program (and INQUIR;DIRS BIN) database,
which is required by INQUPD, when run in LSRINI mode. LSRINI mode,
invoked by a JNAME of LSRINI for INQUPD, generates an empty
.TEMP.;LSR1 EMPTY database for INQUIR. The build scripts generate
this empty database and copy it to the appropriate plact (INQUIR;LSR 1).
Since macos ships without a 3rd-party dependency manager, there are two systems in common use - macports and brew. Both support the dependencies required to build this, so support both. Also add guard to ensure that at least one is installed rather than just blowing up if brew is not installed.
This is a earliest known preserved version of ITS from 1967. It ran
on the AI lab PDP-6, with five teletypes and four GE consoles.
The source code was reconstructed from Gerald Sussman's paper listing.
This version actually works. You invoke the program with:
:EAK;BEAR <uname> [<item>] [<description]>
The user <uname> will receive annoying messages until they respond with:
:SEND BEAR <item>
^C
<item> and <description> are optional. <item> defaults to "cookie", and
<description> defaults to "A VERY HUNGRY BEAR".
The ROM is built with the default start address, which is 173000.
It appears PROM 50 is the old Maclisp PROM tool, and PROM 555 is a
newer version for Lisp machines.
It has been agreed that subnet 376 should be a local Chaosnetwork.
The Chaosnet bridge has been given the node address 177001, and
DB/KA/KL ITS is node 177002.
