HELPER.DOC -- Changes from version 4 to 5
October, 1973
Copyright 1973, Digital Equipment Corp., Maynard, Mass.
1.0 SUMMARY
1.1 This release extends HELPER to look at device HLP:, to
read sequence numbered files, and to improve its error
messages. It also adds an entry point so that it can
be invoked from FORTRAN-10 and COBOL programs. HELPER
version 5 corrects all SPRs received through October
10, 1973 (10-11567).
1.2 HELPER version 5 runs on all monitors. It has been
tested on 5.06. There are no known deficiencies. This
version fully supports the DATE75 project.
1.3 HELPER version 5 is documented in a program
specification in the Software Notebooks.

2.0 CHANGES
36 (SPR 10-9713) Handle sequenced files. Also add an
error message in case of I/O errors. This message is
"%HLRIOE I/O ERROR READING HELP FILE; I'M SORRY, I
CAN'T HELP YOU".
37 (SPR 10-11567) Look on device HLP: before looking on
SYS:. This allows all help files to be removed from
SYS: which should speed up LOOKUPs.
40 Add an alternate entry point "HELPER" which can be
called from FORTRAN-10 or from COBOL with one argument,
the name of the program in SIXBIT.
41 Improve the error message issued when the help file can
not be found. It now reads "%HLRNHF NO HELP FILE ON
SYS:; I'M SORRY, I CAN'T HELP YOU".
3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES
