DUMP and itstar

Saving ITS files and extract them using itstar

  • Mount a tape image in the emulator. For KLH10, type Control-\, and then

     devmount mta0 files.tape create
     continue
    

    For SIMH, type Control-E, and then

     attach tu0 files.tape
     continue
    
  • In ITS, type :dump. At the _ prompt, type dump. The FILE= prompt will accept directory and file names. * can be used as a wild card. Finish with an empty line. When DUMP has finished writing the files, type quit to exit.

  • Unmount the tape image. For KLH10, type Control-\, and

     devunmount mta0
     continue
    

    For SIMH, type Control-E, and then

     detach tu0
     continue
    
  • In the host, run itstar to extract the files:

     itstar -xf files.tape
    

Moving host files to ITS

  • Create one or more directories, and put the files in them. There can not be directories inside directories. For example, let's say you created the directores foo and bar.

  • Run itstar to make a tape image:

     itstar -cf files.tape foo bar
    
  • Mount the tape image in the emulator. For KLH10, type Control-\ and

     devmount mta0 files.tape
     continue
    

    For SIMH, type Control-E, and then

     attach tu0 files.tape
     continue
    
  • In ITS, type :dump. At the _ prompt, type load. The FILE= prompt will accept file names as above. Finish with an empty line. When DUMP has finished reading the files, type quit to exit.

  • Unmount the tape image as above.
