Instead, use ITSNMS table.
- MAGFRM doesn't need to check machine name.
- But still knows about MC's config...
- Look up hosts in ITSNMS table instead of a hardwired one, and use all of the ITSNMS for *.
Use bits in .RYEAR/.RLPDTM result to return a local time zone,
TZONE (definable in SYSTEM;CONFIG).
TZONE should be the integer timezone offset (hours West of UTC)
Bit 4.4 => timezone known (otherwise, assume EST/EDT = 5)
Bit 4.3 => sign bit of timezone offset
Bits 3.5-3.1 => absolute value of timezone offset
If DSTEU is defined and != 0, calculate daylight savings time
according to European Union rules:
- starts at 2:00 (standard time) on the last Sunday in March,
- ends at 2:00 (standard time) on the last Sunday in October.
DUMP will scramble ACT and DUNG files written to the LCF directory.
This is no longer useful in protecting Zork files, so the code is
limited to the DM machine.
MACDMP MOBY1 has 340 support, but only works with the old PDP-6
microtape device. MACDMP 6U32 has both microtape and TD10 support,
but no 340 code. Both programs can be adjusted for core size.
The PDP-6 must be attached. Type L and a file name to load it. Start
the PDP-6 from 0. Toggle switch 1 on. Set address switches to 0 to
play from the memory indicator lights.
disk parameters to separate file (system;rp04 >) from system;rh10 >.
Made build default to RP04 when RH10 is specified, but switches
can select RP06 for relevant components. Resolves#1648.
This is the real source for DEVICE; OARCDV BIN, which uses the old
"ARC!!!" archive format. The previously reconstructed ARCDEV 66 can
be removed, and it was also the wrong version.
At the * prompt, type a file name and then Enter to load that file.
(Terminate with Altmode to first load the GT40LL "loader loader".
That file is currently missing.)
TVFIX stuffs the TV-11 and then tells ITS to start using it. 6FIX
tells ITS to start using the PDP-6.
They are intended to be used by linking CHANNA; RAHASH TVFIX or 6FIX
to SYS; TS LOCK.

This is a very old source file -- AI: SYSENG; MONIT 114 is listed in
MAPS in 1971-04. Development happened on DM; "Scenarios for Using
Arpanet at the International Conference on Computer Communication" has a
1972-09 transcript showing MONIT 192 on DM.
The binary SYS; TS MONIT is listed on AI, MC and ML from 1971 to 1983 in
MAPS, although it doesn't survive in the AI/MC KS10 dumps. A 1981
message to BUG-ITS from ED@MIT-ML suggests it was an old version:
