and moved Router.Chaosnet.NET to MX12, including its address. Removed MD.Update.UU.SE which hasn't run for 15 years, and Greek which will probably never run again, and a demo LambdaDelta.
The macro condition-handlers uses the LOOP macro in a way that's no
longer allowed. The COLLECT clause is followed by two forms: the
first is a check, and the second is actual data for the list. This
was allowed up until LOOP version 809, but no longer in 818. Moving
the check do a DO clause fixes the problem.
Several files have a timestamp that are off by 5-6 hours, due to lack
of attention to time zone conversions. The solution is to regenerate
the timestamps from original data, with time zone set to EST.
CLUDMP is the compiler, and is a normal ITS executable. It has a
variety of commands documented in CLU ORDER, but normally just the
file name can be passed on the JCL. The compiler emits an
intermediate CLUMAC file which is then assembled with MIDAS, leavning
a BIN file. The BIN file is not a normal ITS binary, but has to be
loaded into the CLU runtime.
The CLUSYS directory has files needed to assemble CLUMAC files. ALPHA
and OMEGA are inserted at the top and bottom, respectively. ALPHA in
turn needs PASS1, TYPES, and COMMON. It is not known how LOAD is
used, but it's also necessary in the compilation process.
TS CLUSYS is the runtime system. The procedure "fload" accepts a
string specifying a file to be loaded.
It's an open question whether the two executables can be rebuilt from
source code found on the scattered ITS backups.
This makes a small change in how the expect script interacts with PEEK
when it's built. Instead of triggering on text written by PEEK, it
waits for the $G that comes from the purify valret. The reason is
that if ITS considers the 340 online and available, PEEK running on
the console will send its output to the 340 rather than the teletype,
so expect has nothing to trigger on.
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 *.
