It's not an ECB.  I said it was a masking table!

This is a DYNAMIC LINK (with an offset).  Useful for folding
compile time constant offsets into a dymanically linked IP.
This is the support I had to add to SEG for T3.0-23.0 since SPL
was generating them.

Since everyone is starting their musings about old rev's,
here's a kicker nobody mentioned yet:

Prior to rev 18 (or was that 17), your system console had
to be attached to CMDNC0 for the external commands there
to work.  In effect, wherever the console was attached was
a defacto one-line COMMAND$.SR!  And how about that nasty
bug where the system would halt if the console used ED!!

I've been on a Prime system since 1983, at one site or another, and when I came to
work here I asked the same. Having my curiosity satisfied, I quickly forgot the
answer... But I believe the following is correct:

CMD - Command or Command Directory
NC  - Non-Chare-able 
0   - #0, meaning the first, I believe there was going to be CMDNC1, CMDNC2, etc
      at some time in the past, but for one reason or another didn't happen.

I think the above breakdown is correct, if not the great Gods of Prime will surely
correct me.....

Reply-To: Info-Prime@Blx-A.Prime.COM
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1992 23:14:40 GMT

    After reading a past issue of the NPUG Proceedings, I finally
understand how to call a GCI that is looking for a structure or a
pointer to some structure.  The only thing that is not clear is what
type of pointer gets sent?  I am specifically looking to call some
of the CUS$ routines.  They specify that it must be a SHORT pointer.
Will GCI deal with this, or can it only work with non-SHORT
pointers?  Will there be a problem if I just give it a try?

    I've played around with the CUS$ routines in PLP and they are
great for generating reports.  Unfortunately, I ran into a bizarre
problem with access violations and "error in stack crawlout,
re-initializing command environment" the other day and since PLP is
not "supported", I thought maybe I'd try it from INFO/BASIC, which
is.

PS.  Speaking of supported languages, will the flushing of Prime
have any affect on whether or not we can get our hands on some of
Prime's compilers? (PLP or SPL, preferred).  I have brought this up
before and was told that it was under consideration, but nothing has
happened.  I find it rather irritating that the only distributed
SYSCOM files for CUS$ seem to be for PL1, yet PL1 is ridiculously
expensive (as are all of the other compilers, except for good old
FTN).

Shame on you!  Backward compatibility in SPL is not support for customers!
(You forgot to mention that your library is using SPL!)  If you are not using SPL
directly, then you are using a Prime supplied T3.0 library that is using SPL.
These libraries were not intended to be run on pre-23.0 versions of PRIMOS.
(Mostly because of registered EPF issues).  As I recall, support for dynamic
linking to these tables is not supported well with versions of SEG previous
to T3.0 (though old BINDs should do the right thing with them).

Use a rev 22 or T2.0 SPL compiler (or version of the libraries you are binding
with).  This routine (and many others like it) is a part of PRIMOS at rev 23.0
and beyond.  The T3.0 SPL compiler was enhanced to provide better bit handling
for PRIMOS.  Part of this support was a set of tables to do bit masking and
rotating that could be dynamically linked to by non-OS ring3 programs.  If you
have access to the T3.0 SPL compiler, get the OS sources for rev 23.0.  You can
find those routines (in PRI23>PS?) and build your own binary library to provide
backward compatibility.

This is to let y'all know that I've finally returned from my holiday...
I'm glad to see that the distribution of Info-Prime has been functioning
reasonably well during that period, without any manual intervention.
Some minor thingies though:
- the uucp@att problem has not yet been resolved, but Info-Prime subscribers
  should no longer see the duplicate messages. They will be dumped in my mbox
  only :(
- the mail to the .ac.uk sites will be routed via nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
  again.

If I've overlooked any other problem while deleting the backlog of 725
new mails, then please let me know.

Hasta luego.

  Okay, I'll give it a try.

  Are you thinking of RTS ?  (my mnemonic might not be correct)

  This was a "Real Time" operating system that got dumped in 1978.
  It only ran on P-100's and P-200's.  (and I don't mean terminals).

  This may have been the first product cancellation in Prime's history.

  It was this system that first supported the SOC & GPIB boards.  Now,
  THERE'S an interface for you ... Talk about programming in OCTAL !!!

  Okay, I'll give it a try.

  Are you thinking of RTS ?  (my mnemonic might not be correct)

  This was a "Real Time" operating system that got dumped in 1978.
  It only ran on P-100's and P-200's.  (and I don't mean terminals).

  This may have been the first product cancellation in Prime's history.

  It was this system that first supported the SOC & GPIB boards.  Now,
  THERE'S an interface for you ... Talk about programming in OCTAL !!!

As long as I'm still here, there will be someone to support PLP and SPL.
And I'm still here.  Look for some SPL improvements in T3.2 due out
this month (or so says the sign the Support Center!).

And go ahead and use those .INS.PL1 files with PLP or SPL.  That`s what
they're there for.

My best guess so far is that att.att.com has a bad version of mail software
that does not correctly parse nested comments in from address. (If so we should see
this twice also...)

Thanks to all who replied regarding LOUTQM.  I guess I'll have to
write an "assasin" process to watch users after-hours.  Oh well.

Actually 'if' is the most important word in the universe :-)
