Release 1.1 - PDFs, MEDIT. Latest
Latest

Highlights:

  • Twenty-three newly available manuals, making a total of forty-five. Many thanks to Al Kossow of bitsavers. I also added a handy index.html to the bookmarked PDF collection.

  • SPL/32 has been enabled, and the PR: device is spooled to PR1:. We now have a working PRINT (or PUNCH) command, complete with banner pages.

  • MTM terminals renamed TT1 to TT8.

  • MTM SYSGEN'd with two extra processes for batch streams. Your overnight jobs can now be SUBMIT'ed to the queue.

  • MTM SYSGEN'd with higher NCSBFS to allow two concurrent EOU sessions, or three if they don't compile at the same time.

  • MTM SYSGEN'd with an extra global variable G16 for MEDIT.

  • The MTM shutdown script now runs .MTM STATUS WAIT before it goes down, so you can check your CURRENT, PEAK and WAITS counts.

  • MEDIT -- Perkin-Elmer's full-screen editor. I have written some config files for xterm (XTERM.ME and EASY.ME) to get started.

Bugs:

  • MEDIT is a bit messed-up, and could use some help from someone who can diagnose termcap-type problems.

  • The Ratfor-based DIFF command does not work when SPL/32 is running. I may try replacing it with the one from busybox.

Release 1

This release adds lots of new features and bugfixes to what I originally announced on the simh listserv back in 2020.

  • Kit now supports Bob Supnik's SimH V3, and FTP server automates boot sequence when using V3.
  • RATFOR.
  • HLAL2 high level assembler macros.
  • Workaround: Throttle CPU to avoid console clogging when sending/receiving large files.
  • Workaround: Add username check to EOUINIT.CSS to reduce risk of MTM deadlocking.
  • Add FTP ADDUSER operator command to simplify password hashing and editing shadow.config.
  • Add non-deadlocking compile-link-and-go scripts for CAL, MACRO, FORTRAN, Pascal, C and RATFOR.
  • Add WHOAMI.CSS.
  • Add HEX.CSS.
  • Add CD.CSS to combine SET PRIVATE and SET VOLUME into one easy command.
  • Add LIB.CSS and C program to make object libraries easier to create, edit, list.
  • Add ACTUTY.CSS/255 handy syntax reminder on startup.
  • Add AUFLIST.CSS/255 and C program to list users, passwords, privileges.
  • Add DIFF command from Software Tools.
  • Add makedisk.sim, mountdisk.sim and iug.sim files for SimH V4 users.
  • Add jpdfbookmarks files so the PDF manuals can be rebuilt from bitsavers orginals.
  • Bookmarked a load more bitsavers PDFs.
  • EOU is now configured at build by launching xterm and telnet, rather than restoring from a (large) tape file.
  • Removed EOU COBOL and RPG because those languages are not available.
  • Installed Whitesmiths' EOU commands for C.
  • Fix some clobbered 80 char line endings in MicroEMACS sources.
  • Increased MTM account limit to 1023 to accommodate high-numbered IUG tapes.
  • Printer now supports lowercase.
  • Lots of information gleaned from sources and hex dumps. Read between-the-lines.txt and git log for details.
  • Various bugfixes to my CSS files.
