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 others,
these articles may be the main source of information indefinitely.
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 the functionality of
archiving, and how to use archiving.
* CFS-INFO This document describes the implementation
of the Common File System (CFS) for TOPS-20.
CI-INFO This document contains files describing the
implentation of support for the CI-20
(KLIPA) I/O port for the DECSYSTEM-20.
* CTERM-INFO This document describes the implementation
of the CTERM protcol terminal links for
TOPS-20.
DDT-INFO This document describes changes 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
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 the tables for GALAXY v4.2.
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 JSYSes:
GETOK, RCVOK, and GIVOK; and 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 TOPS-20's support of
labeled tapes. It also gives a description
of the monitor calls and support routines
that are used for labeled tapes.
* LAT-INFO This document collects software
specifications for the 10/20 host support of
LAT-based terminals, architecture and
implementation.
LP20 This functional specification describes the
interface to the LP-20 from the KL-10.

* MONITOR-ADDRESS-SPACE This document describes the changes 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
TOPS-20 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.
* NI-INFO This document describes NIA-20 Ethernet
adapter support for TOPS-20.
PARITY This document describes some of the changes
made to the way parity errors are handled
for Release 5.
* PERFORMANCE This document discusses a number of
performance issues.
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.).
* TCPIP This document describes the TCP/IP ARPAnet
software implementation for TOPS-20AN.
USEFE This document outlines how to use the FE
device and program.
* indicates new or updated material for this SWSKIT version.
