1.0##<SUMMARY

CERTAIN ERRORS WHICH CAN OCCUR ON AN <RP04/RP06.

2.0##<EXTERNAL <CHANGES
.B1
^PAPER-TAPE <BOOTS (OR THE VERSION GOTTEN BY LOADING IT FROM THE
FRONT-END OF A <KL10) NOW STARTS BY TYPING ITS VERSION NUMBER. ^BEFORE
EVERY COMMAND LINE IS ASKED FOR <BOOTS NOW TYPES A PROMPT 
"_<<BTS>", WHICH INDICATES THAT IT IS READY FOR A COMMAND. ^PAPER-TAPE
<BOOTS CAN NOW BE ASSEMBLED SO THAT IT WILL WORK ON EITHER AN <RH10 OR AN
<RH20. ^THE <BOOTS WHICH IS DISTRIBUTED ON THE <KL10 FRONT-END TAPE
HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED TO WORK ON EITHER. ^THE NAMES OF THE BOOTSTRAPS ARE
NOW <BT128K AND <BT256K, FOR USE ON A 128^K OR 256^K <KL10.
.B1
^NOTE THAT THE <BOOTS WHICH IS WRITTEN ON BLOCKS 4-7 OF A DISK PACK DOES
NOT HAVE THESE CHANGES, IT STILL MUST BE ASSEMBLED FOR EITHER AN
<RH10 OR <RH20, AND WILL NOT WORK ON THE "WRONG" ONE. ^NEITHER DOES
IT TYPE ITS VERSION NUMBER NOR PROMPT BEFORE EACH COMMAND.

LOOP WHENEVER THE MONITOR READS IT TO DO AN AUTO DUMP/RELOAD SEQUENCE

1.0##^^SUMMARY\\

^A NUMBER OF FEATURE TEST SWITCHES HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO ^^BOOTS\\
IN ORDER THAT IT MAY SUPPORT BOOTSTRAPING FROM AND DUMPING TO SEVERAL
DEVICES FROM FILES IN ^^SAV\\ AND/OR ^^EXE\\ FORMAT ON ^^KA10, KI10\\,
OR ^^KL10\\ PROCESSORS. ^IN PARTICULAR, WITH VERSION 20 IT IS POSSIBLE
TO MAKE A PAPER TAPE ^^BOOTS\\ WHICH IN ADDITION TO SUPPORTING THE ^^KL10\\ PROCESSOR,
CAN READ/WRITE ^^SAV\\ OR ^^EXE\\ FILES FROM/TO ^^RM10B\\'S, ^^RD10\\S, 
^^RP02\\S, ^^RP03\\S AND ^^RP04\\S. ^IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO MAKE A ^^BOOTS\\
TO BE WRITTEN ONTO DISK PACKS BY ^^WTBOOT\\ WHICH IS CAPABLE OF DUMPING
UP TO 4096^K OF CORE ON ^^KI10\\ OR ^^KL10\\ BASED SYSTEMS (THE 6.02
MONITOR IS REQUIRED FOR THIS FEATURE). ^ALSO, ^^BOOTS\\ HAS BEEN CHANGED TO DISPLAY A FIXED ERROR CODE
BETWEEN 1 AND 16 IN THE LIGHTS (TYPE THE LETTERS ^B THROUGH ^O ON THE
OPERATOR CONSOLE OF THE ^^KL10\\) WHENEVER IT ENCOUNTERS AN ERROR WHILE
IT IS LOADING OR DUMPING.
.B 3

^^BOOTS\\ MUST BE ASSEMBLED WITH THE APPROPRIATE FEATURE TEST SWITCH
SETTINGS TO PRODUCE A ^^BOOTS.REL\\ FILE TO BE LOADED WITH ^^WTBOOT\\ TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF FEATURES WHICH ARE AVAILABLE IN ^^BOOTS\\ BUT WHICH ARE NOT
NORMALLY TURNED ON. ^THE PAPER TAPE VERSION OF ^^BOOTS\\ IS NOW THREE PAGES
(PAGE=512 WORDS) LONG (2 CODE PAGES AND A DATA PAGE) SO DUMPING CRASHES
WITH PAPER TAPE ^^BOOTS\\ IS NOT RECOMMENDED IF IT CAN BE AVOIDED
SINCE AN ADDITIONAL PAGE OF INFORMATION WHICH WOULD BE DUMPED
BY THE ^^BOOTS\\ READ FROM A DISK PACK WILL BE LOST. ^^BOOTS\\ DISPLAYS THE
FOLLOWING ERROR CODES IN THE LIGHTS (OR TYPES THE SPECIFIED

^THERE ARE NOW 10 FEATURE TEST SWITCHES IN ^^BOOTS\\. ^FOR THE PURPOSE
OF MAKING A PAPER TAPE VERSION OF ^^BOOTS\\, THESE FEATURE TEST SWITCHES
CAN BE IGNORED. ^HOWEVER, TO MAKE A ^^BOOTS.REL\\ WHICH IS TO BE LOADED
WITH ^^WTBOOT\\ TO WRITE ^^BOOTS\\ ON BLOCKS 4-7 OF DISK PACKS, IT IS NECESSARY
TO TURN OFF SOME OF THE SWITCHES. ^THE FEATURE TEST SWITCHES
WHICH ARE CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED IN ^^BOOTS\\ ARE:

.B 1;.LM 0;.F;.J;.TP 5
^IN THE PAPER TAPE VERSION OF ^^BOOTS\\, ALL OF THE ABOVE FEATURE
TEST SWITCHES (EXCEPT ^^FT22BIT\\) ARE NORMALLY TURNED ON SO PAPER

PROCESSOR. ^SEE ^^BOOTS.MEM\\ FOR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRODUCING
A PAPER TAPE VERSION OF ^^BOOTS\\.
.B 1
^IN GENERAL, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ASSEMBLE ^^BOOTS\\ TO LOAD WITH
^^WTBOOT\\ SUCH THAT IT WILL SUPPORT ^^EXE\\ FILES AND MORE THAN ONE
TYPE OF DEVICE AND STILL HAVE IT BE SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT ON
BLOCKS 4-7 OF A DISK PACK. ^THEREFORE, THE ^^BOOTS\\ CONFIGURATION
WHICH WILL MOST COMMONLY BE USED SHOULD BE ASSEMBLED AND LOADED WITH
^^WTBOOT\\ AND WRITTEN ON ALL DISK PACKS, E.G., ^^RP02/RP03\\ ^^BOOTS\\
SHOULD BE WRITTEN ON ALL PACKS IF THE MONITOR IS NORMALLY ON AN 
^^RP02/RP03\\ PACK AND CRASHES ARE NORMALLY DUMPED ON ^^CRASH.SAV\\ OR ^^CRASH.EXE\\
ON AN ^^RP02/RP03\\ PACK.
