The UVBYTES package has now been released to the world, it will work on
both XXs and ITS. There is one function in this package, UV-BYTES. The
purpose of UV-BYTES is to corrupt UVECTORs into BYTES of any bytesize.
It does this by consing up a bytpointer of the requested byte size to
the UVECTOR. Note, the BYTES created UV-BYTES will shear the same
storage as the UVECTOR. The contents UVECTOR must be of primtype WORD.
The main use of UV-BYTES is to create multiple windows of different
bytesize to the same UVECTOR. The call to UV-BYTES follows.
;"UV-BYTES RETURNS BYTES FOR ANY GIVEN BYTE SIZE TO A UVECTOR
OF PRIMTYPE WORD. THE CALL TO THIS ROUTINE IS <UV-BYTES .UV .BSIZE>.
UV-BYTES RETURNS AN OBJECT OF TYPE BYTES. ARGS ARE:
.UV ........ A UVECTOR OF PRIMTYPE WORDS
.BSIZE ..... THE BYTE SIZE OF THE DESIRED BYTES, MUST BE LEES THAN 36."
