1.0##<SUMMARY
.B1
<FEFILE IS A PROGRAM WHICH CREATES A FILE IN THE <TOPS10 FILE SYSTEM
(<FE.SYS[1,2]). <FEFILE ALLOCATES THIS FILE CONTIGUOUSLY, VERIFYS
THAT IT CONTAINS NO BAD BLOCKS, AND THEN WRITES THE LOCATION AND SIZE
OF THE FILE IN THE HOME BLOCKS. ^THE SPACE REPRESENTED BY THIS FILE CAN
NOW BE USED FOR THE CONSOLE PROCESSOR <RSX20F SYSTEM <FILES-11 FILE SYSTEM.
^IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT <FEFILE ALWAYS BE RUN ON A RECENTLY
REFORMATTED/REFRESHED FILE STRUCTURE.

<FEFILE MUST BE RUN BEFORE THE <RSX20F FILE SYSTEM CAN BE INSTALLED, ^TO
RUN <FEFILE, LOGIN UNDER 1,2 AND TYPE:
.B1.I5
^^.R FEFILE\\

<FEFILE WILL RESPOND WITH 
.B1.I5
^^DISK UNIT NAME\\:

^TYPE THE UNIT NAME OF THE UNIT WHERE THE FILE STRUCTURE THAT THE -11
FILE SYSTEM IS BEING CREATED ON IS MOUNTED, E.G., <RPA0. <FEFILE WILL
THEN TYPE:
.B1.I5
^^SIZE OF FILE IN BLOCKS (_<CRFL> GIVES DEFAULT OF 2000)\\
.B1
<_<CRLF> WOULD BE THE NORMAL RESPONSE UNLESS IT IS
ANTICIPATED THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF DIAGNOSTICS WILL BE STORED
IN THE -11 FILE SYSTEM. <FEFILE NOW ALLOCATES THE FILE, VERIFYS THAT IT
CONTAINS NO BAD BLOCKS BY WRITING THE FILE AND READING IT BACK
AND IF SUCCESSFUL, WRITES THE ADDRESS OF THE FILE IN THE HOME BLOCKS.
<FEFILE INDICATES SUCCESS BY TYPING:
.B1.I5
