FACTOR.DOC -- Changes from V1(3) to V1A(11)
September 1983
1.0 SUMMARY
FACTOR contains all the FACT-file related code necessary for LOGIN,
and is unsupported (Category C) except to the extent necessary to make
supported products (LOGIN ) work.
FACTOR has been tested with LOGIN V61 under TOPS10 version 7.02.
2.0 EXTERNAL CHANGES
None.
3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES
None.
4.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOGIN now must be linked with FACTOR.REL. Installations using the
distributed .CTL files to build these programs should require no
changes in procedures.
5.0 INTERNAL CHANGES
Edit #
4 If a FACT file exits on a full structure and DAEMON is not
running the date of the FACT file may get changed to 5-Jan-75
or undated depending on the edit level of the monitor. SPR
10-26315.
5 Change FACTOR to search MACTEN and UUOSYM instead of C.
6 Generate symbols for Major Version, Minor Version, Edit and
Who, and use a macro to generate the title line so as to
include the version and edit numbers.
7 /BAH 29-April-80 QAR 10-03781 DETFLG is referenced without
indexing by B, destroying a random word in the low segment if
the job is detached and DAEMON is not running.
10 (SPR 10-28831)/FRS 29-April-80 check to see if job you are
FCR1A.DOC Page 3
trying to attach to is DAEMON and is [1,2]. If so, skip trying
to write fact entry.
11 29-Sep-83 /DPM .CLNAM macro has bugs. Remove it and use TITLE.
from MACTEN.
6.0 SUGGESTIONS
This section is for informational purposes only. Since FACTOR is
unsupported, the only use of it for which DEC can be responsible is
when called by field-image versions of LOGIN.
FACTOR allocates its own low segment space. It preserves all
registers except AC 6. It types all necessary error messages on the
job's controlling terminal unless the job is running detached. FACTOR
expects AC 17 to point to a stack at least 25 locations deep. The
only entry point is called .FACTR. To call it, load AC 6 with an
AOBJN pointer to the FACT file entry to be made, and call with a
PUSHJ. FACTOR first tries to write the entry by calling DAEMON with a
DAEMON UUO. If that fails, it tries writing directly to device STD:.
If FACT.SYS can't be written, FACTOR then tries FACT.X01, FACT.X02,
and so forth up through FACT.X77. If all such files cannot be written
an error message is typed on the job's controlling terminal.

FACTOR.DOC -- V1
August 1976
1.0 SUMMARY
This is a new module which contains all FACT-file related code
necessary for LOGIN. This module is being released to ease the change
to USAGE file accounting by segregating all accounting-file related
code into a single module, and to improve the maintainability of
programs which call it. This module is unsupported (Category C)
except to the extent necessary to make supported products (LOGIN )
work.
The following CUSPs or later must be used with FACTOR V1:
MACRO version 50 or 52
