	THIS BACKUP TAPE CONTAINS SIX SAVE SETS WRITTEN
IN INTERCHANGE MODE. THESE SAVE SETS ARE:
	##I) DOCUMENTATION
	#II) SIXBIT LOADER
	III) EIGHT BIT LOADER
	#IV) MACRO-11 FILES
	##V) DISLIB ROUTINES
	#VI) ALL FILES

	AT ACADIA THE GT40 IS CONNECTED TO THE DECSYSTEM-10
ALONG A STANDARD TELETYPE INTERFACE AS LINE NUMBER 1 (THIS
IS A 2400 BAUD LINE). IF THE GT40 IS NOT CONNECTED ON
LINE NUMBER 1 AT YOUR INSTALLATION IT WILL BE NECESSARY
TO MODIFY THE ROUTINE IO.MAC AND THEN FUDGE IT IN TO
THE APPROPRIATE DISLIB LIBRARY. THE MODIFICATION
NEEDED IS VERY SIMPLE AND CAN BE FOUND BY READING
IO.MAC. THE FILE "DISLIB.REL" IS THE DISLIB LIBRARY
FOR JOBS USING THE F40 COMPILER (AS WE DO AT ACADIA). THE
FILE "DISF10.REL" IS DISLIB COMPILED WITH THE FORTRAN-10
COMPILER.
	THE BINARY PROGRAMS FOR THE GT40 ("SCROLL.BIN" AND
"GIDUS.BIN") WERE ASSEMBLED FROM THE CORRESPONDING P11 FILES
WITH THE MACDLX CROSS ASSEMBLER. THE TWO LOADER PROGRAMS
EXPECT THE OBJECT PROGRAMS TO BE IN THE FORMAT OUTPUT
BY MACDLX (I.E. PAPER TAPE FORMAT). FURTHERMORE THE
FILE "SYSMAC.SML" IS NECESSARY FOR ASSEMBLY SO THE
ASSEMBLER "PALX11" WILL NOT DO.
	ACADIA SUPPLIES NO MAINTENANCE FOR THE GIDUS-DISLIB
PACKAGE BUT I WOULD BE WILLING TO ATTEMPT BUG FIXES BY MAIL.
HOWEVER, I WILL BE LEAVING ACADIA ON AUGUST 31, 1977. THE
SYSTEM HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER A YEAR AT ACADIA AND SEEMS
QUITE STABLE. BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR INSTALLATION AND I HOPE
YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF GIDUS-DISLIB.
