1. Release 5.1 of TOPS-20 and 4.2 of GALAXY must be installed
before attempting to install IBMCOM on the KL.
2. The regular distribution tapes for TOPS-20 5.1 contain LPTSPL
and CDRIVE built with the correct versions of D60JSY.
3. In IBMCOM, since communication is expensive, it is sometimes
preferred to not have SPRINT delete a recently transmitted
card deck. To help with this situation the following
unsupported patch is provided:
In order to assure that SPRINT does not delete files that do
not appear to have a correct $JOB card replace the following
lines in SPRINT:
PUSHJ P,PROCER ; Do ABORT processing
EOF.1: PUSHJ P,RELREQ ; Send "release" to QUASAR
MOVE S1,L.IFN ; Release the input file
with
PUSHJ P,PROCER ; Do ABORT processing
PUSHJ P,RELREQ ; Send "release" to QUASAR
MOVE S1,L.IFN ; Release the input file
PJRST F%REL ; and do not delete!
EOF.1: PUSHJ P,RELREQ ; Send "release" to QUASAR
MOVE S1,L.IFN ; Release the input file
Please note: with this patch, all decks without $JOB cards
will be retained. The system administrator should be aware
that this could allow a malicious user to fill up the
PS:<SPOOL> area with trash files.

4. A new system logical name, D60:, must be defined. The IBMCOM
spoolers use this logical name for looking up signon files,
signoff files, and for creating input files. Placing the
following in the system CONFIG file is a convenient method:
DEFINE D60: PS:<DN60>
This makes the default for D60: the same directory used in
release 4.0. D60: can, of course, be defined as any
directory on any structure normally mounted, if more
convenient for operations. But if the structure used is
non-PS:, the job should do a mount of the structure before
starting the spooler.
