THE SWSKIT DOCUMENTATION FILES
------------------------------
Following is a brief synopsis of each article/file that
appears in the SWSKIT documentation. Please note that many of
these articles are preliminary functional specs and discussions,
and may contain some information that is completely false.
However, the material is provided to be used with proper caution
because it does provide information not otherwise available in
useful form at this time. Over time, many of these documents will
be replaced by SDC-type materials. For other items, these articles
may be the main source of information for quite a while.
TITLE DESCRIPTION
HANDBOOK This document is the latest revision of
the TOPS-20 Trouble-Shooting Handbook.
ACCOUNTING This article describes the changes made to
allow the billing rates for system usage
to change during the day. It also
explains a feature called disk accounting.
ACCOUNTING-TABLES This file documents the formats of
SYSTEM-DATA.BIN and CHECKPOINT.BIN in
tabular format.
ARCHIVE This document describes some of the
functionality of archiving, and how to use
archiving.
BUGS This documents describes the TOPS20 BUGxxx
macro changes.
CI-INFO This document contains files describing
the implentation of support for the CI-20
(KLIPA) I/O port for the DECSYSTEM-20.
CFS-INFO This document contains descriptions of the
implementation of the Common File System
(CFS) for TOPS-20.
DDT-INFO This document describes the changes that
have been made to DDT for versions 41,
41A, and 43.
DDP This document discusses some aspects of
DDP (Distributed Data Processing) on
TOPS-20. (Very early paper.)

DEBUGGING-GALAXY This document describes how to build a
private GALAXY system for debugging, and
gives hints on debugging various
components.
DX20 This document gives a brief description of
the configuration requirements for tapes
controlled by the DX20.
EAPGMG This document describes Extended
Addressing on the DECSYSTEM-20 and
programming in non-zero sections.
EXECUTE-ONLY This document describes the changes,
restrictions, and implementation of an
execute-only file capability on TOPS-20.
GALAXY-TABLES This document is a collection of tables
for GALAXY version 4.2.
GALAXY-V5 This document contains discussions of the
changes to GALAXY for version 5 and
specifications of the QUEUE% JSYS.
GETOK This document describes three new JSYSes:
GETOK, RCVOK, and GIVOK. It also
describes the SMON function.
HSC-INFO This document describes the programming
and use of the HSC-50 storage controller
by release 6.0 of TOPS-20.
IO This document describes some of the
aspects of how IO is done by TOPS-20.
KFS This document explains the functional
specification of the RSX-20F KLINK link.
KLCOM This document describes the KL10/PDP-11
DTE20 protocol. It explains such things
as the protocol messages, error messages,
and bootstrap procedures.
KL873 This document describes the functionality
of all the revisions of the BM873
Bootstrap ROM for KL10 based on PDP-11
Front-Ends.
LABELED-TAPES This document describes TOPS20's support
of labeled tapes. It also gives a
description of the monitor calls and
support routines that are used for labeled
tapes.

LP20 This functional specification describes
the interface to the LP-20 from the KL-10.
MONITOR-ADDRESS-SPACE This document describes the changes made
to BOOT and DDT to enable more address
space. It also explains about PSECTS, and
overlapping BGSTR to build monitors and
the write-protecting of the resident
monitor and the parts of the Release 6.0
address space project, moving things out
of section 0/1.
MONITOR-TABLES This document displays most of the tables
in the monitor. This is a best effort
based on the ED SERVICES materials and
will doubtless be not as complete as the
eventual ED SERVICES document.
MOS This document describes MOS memory and the
TOPS20 monitor support of TGHA.
MSCP-INFO This document contains the design and
functional specifications for the TOPS-20
implementation of the Mass Storage Control
Protocol (MSCP) server and driver.
PARITY This document describes some of the
changes made to the way parity errors are
handled for Release 5.
PERFORMANCE This document talks about the
interpretation of some of the WATCH
statistics.
RSX-STOP-CODES This documents a list of RSX-20F stop
codes, stating their meaning, and the
module that contains the stop code.
SCA-INFO This document describes SCA, the Systems
Communication Architecture protocol used
over the CI bus.
SCHEDULER This document describes Working Set
Swapping, and Release 4 and 6 Scheduler
changes (Class Scheduler, SKED%, etc.).
SPEAR This document discusses how to run the
SPEAR program.
USEFE This document outlines how to use FE
device and program.
