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.
This is for consistency with the EMACS info file, and also backup
records from AI show this renaming was done in 1979. Curiously, the
old file name remained on MC and was later copied to the KS10 ITS
machines.
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.
Don't fail to compile H3TEXT if a NET corresponding to a HOST address
is missing, just whine. (As a comment in SYSHST;HOSTS3 says, the
network table is almost useless anyway.)
This version includes one new function to test graphs,
<MK&DSP>$ which compiles all the MCELLs in the SENE1 image and then displays
the complete SENE1 cell. It takes about 15 to 20 seconds to compile the
display. That's pretty amazing for source code, much faster then DM, or USC-ISI's pdp10s.
Just think what a difference the compiler will make...
