MCL is invoked with :MAXTUL;MCL and can be used to compile any
macsyma source. Of course, if you change IN-CORE sources, you'll
have to dump out a new macsyma, but for non-IN-CORE sources, you'll
get the FASL and UNFASL files in the right places, and any macros
loaded that are needed.
The original link of maxtul;.good. complr was incorrect -- it pointed
to SYS;TS COMPLR. The link is supposed to point to the dumped out
MCL image.
Also fix UTMCL. First, it is not supposed to be a link to MCL. It
is it's own dumped COMPLR image. Added source for UTMCL, and updated
macsyma.tcl to compile it and then load it into a COMPLR to dump
it to MAXTUL;TS UTMCL.
UTMCL is called by Macsyma's COMPILE_LISP_FILE function to compile
a lisp source file with the appropriate Macsyma context.
In 2017, the rules changed from a start date of the 1st Sunday in April to the 2nd Sunday in March.
The end date changed from the last Sunday in October to the 1st Sunday in November.
These entries were added, based on information from backed up LSR1
files: APPLE2, DRAGON, DRAW, GFR, GT40, MINI, PDP11, PEEK, TARAKA, and
TEACH.
In the cases where FILDI had a "@machine" part, that has been dropped.
It can interfere, e.g. with $^S DDT commands.
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.
SYSNET;TELSER 174, and SYSTEM;TTYTYP 322 were changed in a commit from
about 4 months ago, but the version numbers were not updated.
This makes it really hard for those trying to update their existing ITS
systems with changes from this repository.
Addresses #2280, #2282, #2283, #2284, and #2285.
The QUEFIL routine has been conditionalized for MIT, but the brackets
are in the wrong place. This results in the MOVEI B,DEVICE being
dropped, resulting in garbage being passed in B to RFN"PFN. XQUEUE
then writes a nonsensical file name to the .XGPR. queue file, and
XGPSPL picks this up and prints it on its console.
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.
Also increase TTYTAB block size to accommodate those systems with more
than 25 TTY channels.
Finally, update autologout code to comment out the code that checks
for the number of sockets owned by a network job, since the logic
only worked with the DM NCP-based network implementation. This logic
needs a reworking for current internet/chaosnet networking.
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.
