^THERE IS A BUG IN <PIP WHICH BECAME APPARENT WHEN A MONITOR
BUG WAS FIXED IN 6.03 WHICH CAUSES A <?FILE <NOT <FOUND ERROR WHEN
TRYING TO COPY MULTIPLE FILES, SOME OR ALL OF WHICH ARE IN A <LIB:,
AND <DSK: WAS SPECIFIED AS THE INPUT DEVICE.
.PG
^A BUG IN <LINK 3^A'S ^POLISH FIXUP PROCESSING HAS BEEN
DISCOVERED THAT MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE ANY MONITOR THAT HAS BEEN
ASSEMBLED WITH <MACRO 52 CAN BE LOADED. ^THE MAJOR SYMPTOM OF THIS BUG
IS THAT MANY LOCATIONS IN THE LOADED MONITOR WILL BE OFF BY ABOUT
340000, ALTHOUGH OTHER ERRORS ARE POSSIBLE.
.B1
^THE CORRECTION FOR THIS PROBLEM IS EDIT 572 TO <LINK. ^THIS
EDIT WAS FIRST DISTRIBUTED IN <LNK3A.BWR, THE BEWARE FILE SHIPPED
WITH THE <LINK 3^A RELEASE. ^THE SAME EDIT WAS ALSO SHIPPED IN A

IS MADE TO LOAD MONITORS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH <MACRO 52.
^NOTE THAT THIS EDIT IS NOT NEEDED IF THE MONITOR IS ASSEMBLED WITH

^THE 6.03 MONITOR IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH <RSX20F AS THE FRONT END
OPERATING SYSTEM. ^BOOTING <RSX20F FROM DISK REQUIRES THAT A
<BM873YH ^ROM MODULE BE INSTALLED IN THE CONSOLE FRONT END. (BOOTING FROM
<DEC<TAPES WORKS WITH THE EXISTING ^ROM). ^THIS IS AN <ECO
TO BE INSTALLED IN ALL <KL10 SYSTEMS. <RSX20F ALSO IGNORES THAT THE
<DTE INTERRUPT AT PRIORITY LEVEL 6. ^SOME 1080'S HAVE THE <DTE CONNECTED
TO LEVEL 4. <RSX20F WILL NOTICE THIS CONDITION AND PRINT AN ERROR MESSAGE.
^TO CORRECT THIS, YOU MUST HAVE FIELD SERVICE MODIFY THE JUMPER WHICH
SELECTS THE <DTE INTERRUPT PRIORITY. ^FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT
YOUR LOCAL ^FIELD ^SERVICE.
.PG
^ON <KL10 BASED SYSTEMS, IT MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
BE DESIRABLE TO RUN THE MONITOR WITH <KLDCP AND/OR <RSX10F RATHER
THAN <RSX20F. ^SINCE THE MONITOR EXPECTS TO BE RUNNING WITH <RSX20F
AS THE FRONT END SOFTWARE, IT STARTS UP THE SO CALLED "PRIMARY COMMUNICATIONS
PROTOCOL" WHICH <KLDCP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. ^TO DISABLE THIS THE
FOLLOWING PATCH SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE MONITOR:
.B1;.TS 8,16,24,32,40
^^PPCPAT/ PUSHJ P,STMPPC JFCL\\
.B1.TS5,10
^NOTE THAT IF THE MONITOR IS PATCHED IN THIS FASHION, IT WILL STILL
WORK WITH <RSX20F BUT <RSX WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY ATTEMPT TO CAUSE
THE MONITOR TO RELOAD ITSELF WHENEVER IT DETECTS THAT THE <KL10 HAS
STOPPED. ^ALSO, THE FRONT END DEVICE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE.
.B1
^IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE <RSX20F PARSER NOT BE USED WHILE
THE SYSTEM IS TIME-SHARING.
.B1
^UNTIL 6.03 THERE WAS A MONITOR BUG WHICH ALLOWED JOBS
WHICH HAD AT SOME POINT DONE A ^^HIBER UUO\\ WITH THE WAKE
ENABLE BITS SET TO DO A ^^SLEEP UUO\\ AND BE AWAKENED BY THE
OCCURRENCE OF ONE OF THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE
^^HIBER UUO\\. ^THIS HAS BEEN FIXED SO THAT NOW THE ONLY
EVENT WHICH WILL CAUSE A RETURN FROM THE ^^SLEEP UUO\\ IS
THE EXPIRATION OF THE SPECIFIED SLEEP TIME. ^THIS MAY
BREAK PROGRAMS THAT RELIED ON THIS "FEATURE OF THE ^^SLEEP UUO\\".
.B1
^IN SUPPORT OF THE MAJORITY OF TERMINALS MANUFACTURED TODAY,
THE DEFAULT INITIAL SETTING FOR TERMINALS ASSUMES THAT <ASCII
CODES 175 AND 176 ARE GENERATED BY TYPING LEFT AND RIGHT CURLEY
BRACES RATHER THAN BY DEPRESSING A KEY LABELED <ALTMODE OR ^^ESC\\(APE).
^THUS, THE DEFAULT ACTION IS TO PASS 175 AND 176 ON TO THE PROGRAM
RATHER THAN CONVERTING THEM TO 33. ^THIS DEFAULT MAY INCONVENIENCE
USERS OF MODEL 33 AND 35 TELETYPES AND POSSIBLY OTHER TERMINALS
WHICH GENERATE THESE CODES WHEN THE <ALTMODE OR <ESCAPE KEY IS DEPRESSSED.
^THE MONITOR DEFAULT MAY BE OVERRIDDEN BY DEFINING THE PARAMETER <TTYALT,1
IN THE "^^DEFINE SYMBOL,VALUE\\" PORTION OF THE <MONGEN DIALOG.
^SPECIFIC HARD WIRED TERMINAL DEFAULTS MAY BE SPECIFIED BY RUNNING
<INITIA ON EACH LINE TERMINATED BY SUCH A TERMINAL AND INCLUDING
IN <TTY.INI "<ALTMODE" FOR THAT LINE.
.B1
^IF THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION INCLUDES BOTH DISKS AND MAGTAPES ON
<RH20 CHANNELS, THE DISKS MUST BE ON LOWER NUMBERED ^^RH20\\S
THAN THE MAGTAPES; E.G., IF THE SYSTEM HAS 2 ^^RH\\20S FOR DISKS
AND 1 ^^RH20\\ FOR MAGTAPES, THE DISKS SHOULD BE ON ^^RH\\20S NUMBER
0 AND 1 AND THE MAGTAPES SHOULD BE ON ^R^H20 NUMBER 2. ^THERE IS A BUG
IN 6.03 WHICH LIMITS THE SYSTEM TO A MAXIMUM OF 5 <RH20 CHANNELS IN
SLOTS 0,1,2,3,5 (FIVE).
.B1
^SITES WHO DO NOT WISH TO USE THE CLASS SCHEDULER, MAY TURN
IT OFF BY DEFINING THE SYMBOL <M.CLSS,0 IN THE "^^DEFINE SYMBOL,VALUE\\"
PORTION OF THE <MONGEN DIALOGUE.
.B1
^THE 6.03 MONITOR SUPPORTS TWO CHANNELS/CONTROLLERS, EACH CONNECTED
TO ONE OF THE DUAL PORTS ON A STRING OF <RP04 AND/OR <RP06 DISK PACK
DRIVES. ^THIS CAN SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE DISK <I/O THROUGHPUT SINCE
IF ONE CHANNEL/CONTROLLER IS BUSY TRANSFERING ON ONE DRIVE, <I/O
CAN BE STARTED ON ANOTHER DRIVE ON THE SECOND CHANNEL/CONTROLLER.
^HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED THAT HARDWARE DIFFICULTIES ARISE
IF AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FEATURE USING ^^RP\\04S
EQUIPPED WITH DUAL PORT KITS CONTAINING THE ^M7775 BOARD. ^CONSULT
FIELD SERVICE ABOUT UPGRADING YOUR <RP04 DUAL PORT KITS TO THE ^M7787 BOARD.
.B1
^THE 6.03 MONITOR CONTAINS SUPPORT FOR A ^MACRO ^INTERPRETED ^COMMAND
FACILITY. ^DISTRIBUTED WITH THE 6.03 MONITOR IS A PROGRAM CALLED <MIC
WHICH IMPLEMENTS A POWERFUL MACRO COMMAND LANGUAGE. ^THIS PROGRAM WAS
DEVELOPED BY ^HATFIELD ^POLYTECHNIC ^INSTITUTE AND IS BEING DISTRIBUTED
BY ^DIGITAL AS A CONVENIENCE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. ^THE SUPPORT LEVEL FOR
<MIC WILL BE CATEGORY ^C. ^HOWEVER, IF ^^SPR\\S ARE SUBMITTED TO
^DIGITAL THEY WILL BE FORWARDED TO THOSE PERSONS INTERESTED IN <MIC
MAINTENENCE AND DEVELOPMENT. ^THE DOCUMENTATION INCLUDED ON THE DISTRIBUTION
TAPE DESCRIBING <MIC AND ITS FEATURES IS BELIEVED TO BE ESSENTIALLY
CORRECT EXCEPT THAT THE MONITOR COMMAND TO EXECUTE A <MIC MACRO IS
"<DO" RATHER THAN "/" AS STATED. ^TO SUMMARIZE, THE ^^TRMOP\\.'S
WHICH HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN THE MONITOR TO SUPPORT <MIC (AND
SIMILAR APPLICATIONS) WILL RECEIVE CATEGORY ^A SUPPORT BUT THE <MIC
PROGRAM WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED BY ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT,
SUPPORT, OR MAINTENENCE PERSONEL.
.B1
^THE 6.03 MONITOR REQUIRES VERSION 4 OF THE <DX10 MICROCODE
FOR THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF <TU70/TU71 MAGTAPE DRIVES.
.B1
^WHEN <BACKUP IS DOING A SAVE IT REQUESTS THE MONITOR NOT TO DO ANY ERROR
RECOVERY, JUST TO INFORM IT WHENEVER A TAPE ERROR IS DETECTED. ^THERE
WAS A BUG IN 602/602^A WHICH IGNORED THIS REQUEST BY <BACKUP, SO THAT ERROR RETRY
WAS ATTEMPTED. ^THIS BUG HAS BEEN FIXED IN 603, SO THAT ANY SOFT ERROR WILL
IMMEDIATELY BE PASSED ON TO <BACKUP. <BACKUP THEN TYPES OUT A MESSAGE ABOUT
PARITY ERROR ON TAPE, AND REWRITES THE SAME DATA IN THE NEXT BLOCK ON
TAPE, WITH 1 BIT ON INDICATING THAT IT IS A RETRY RECORD. ^THIS DOES NOT MEAN
THAT THE TAPE DRIVE IS BAD, SINCE SOFT ERRORS ARE TO BE EXPECTED ON MAG TAPES.
.B1
^WHEN LISTING MAGTAPE STATISTICS FOR A <TU70 <SYSERR MAY PRINT
INCORRECT NUMBERS FOR TAPE POSITION BEFORE ERROR, AND NUMBER OF
CHARACTERS IN THE BAD RECORD. ^THIS IS DUE TO A MONITOR BUG WHICH CAUSES
THESE NUMBERS NOT TO BE STORED ON AN ERROR WHICH IS DETECTED AS HARD
WITHOUT ANY RETRY ATTEMPTED. ^THE PROBLEM IS FIXED BY <MCO 7158 WHICH
WILL BE IN THE 603^A ^SOUP RELEASE.
.B1
^FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR OWN DEVICE SERVICE
ROUTINES, TWO NEW WORDS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE SHORT DEVICE DATA BLOCK (<DDB).
^THESE NEW WORDS ARE CALLED <DEVESE AND <DEVHCW. ^ALSO, A NEW ENTRY POINT
HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE DEVICE DISPATCH VECTOR (<DDVO=-4). ^THESE WORDS
AND THE NEW ENTRY POINT MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE ^^DDB\\'S AND DISPATCH
VECTOR FOR ALL DEVICE SERVICE ROUTINES. ^THUS, SUCH SITES SHOULD
MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES TO THEIR DEVICE SERVICE ROUTINES BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INCORPORATE THEM IN THE 6.03 MONITOR.
.B1
^AS WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS, <SYSCHK HALTS IF IT DETECTS
NON-CONTIGUOUS MEMORY MODULES EVEN THOUGH THE MONITOR DOES NOT REQUIRE
CONTIGUOUS MEMORY. ^HOWEVER, THIS VERSION ACTUALLY CHECKS UP TO 4096^K.
^IF THIS OCCURS, EITHER FIX THE MEMORY OR SAY NO TO THE <SYSCHK QUESTION.
.B1.I5
<DAEMON MUST BE RUN WITHOUT <DSKFUL <PAUSE SET.
.B1
^THE FILE <MACROS WHICH HAD BEEN USED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF <INITIA
HAS BEEN MERGED INTO <MACTEN. <INITIA CONTAINS A "<SEARCH <MACTEN" LINE.
^THE CORRECT VERSION OF <MACTEN.MAC AND <MACTEN.UNV IS 2(25).
.B2
4.2 ^DIFFERENCES ^OBSERVABLE TO THE ^USER
.B1
^BECAUSE A NUMBER OF COMMANDS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE 6.03
MONITOR, THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF CHARACTERS REQUIRED FOR A UNIQUE
ABBREVIATION OF A COMMAND HAS CHANGED FOR SOME COMMANDS. ^FOR EXAMPLE,
THE <GET COMMAND REQUIRES THAT AT LEAST "<GE" BE TYPED FOR IT TO BE UNIQUE
RATHER THAN JUST "<G" AS IN 6.02.
.B1
^THE INTERPRETATION OF THE OWNER PROTECTION FIELD IN THE HIGH
ORDER OCTAL DIGIT OF THE 3 DIGIT OCTAL PROTECTION CODE HAS BEEN CHANGED
IN THE 6.03 MONITOR. ^SEE <FILDAE.DOC FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THE NEW
ACTIONS WHICH THE MONITOR TAKES IF THE OWNER PROTECTION FIELD IS 4 OR
GREATER.
.B1
^IF A $ (DOLLAR SIGN) IS NOT ECHOED WHEN THE <ALTMODE OR <ESCAPE
KEY IS DEPRESSED ON A USER'S TERMINAL, THE USER SHOULD TYPE THE FOLLOWING
MONITOR COMMAND:
.B1;.I 10
_.<SET <TTY <ALTMODE

4.3 ^DIFFERENCES ^OBSERVABLE TO THE ^OPERATOR
.B1
^THERE ARE THREE NEW MONITOR SUPPORT PROGRAMS DISTRIBUTED WITH
THE 6.03 MONITOR. ^THESE ARE <DTELDR, <FILDAE AND <MIC. ^THE OPERATOR MAY WISH
TO INCLUDE THESE IN THE <OPR.ATO FILE SO THAT THEY ARE STARTED
AUTOMATICALLY ON A SYSTEM RELOAD. ^SEE THE <DOC FILES FOR <DTELDR, <FILDAE

7.6.3##^^WARNINGS OF KNOWN DEFICIENCIES IN NETWORK SUPPORT\\
.B1
<N.B. ^MANY PROBLEMS DESCRIBED REFER TO <TOPS-10 MODULES, NOT JUST <DN87 MODULES.
.B1.LM9.I-4
1)##^WHENEVER A <UUO IS EXECUTED THAT CHANGES A <TTY PARAMETER, CHARACTERISTICS
MESSAGES HAVE TO BE EXCHANGED BETWEEN <TOPS-10 AND THE <PDP-11 CONTROLLING THAT
TERMINAL. ^UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS A RACE CONDITION IN THE TERMINAL PROTOCOL THAT
IS EXERCISED WHEN SEVERAL PARAMETERS ARE CHANGED IN A SHORT TIME BY <TRMOP<S
OR OTHER <UUO<S. ^THE FIX TO THIS IS COMPLEX AND PROBABLY WILL NOT BE IN
<6.03A. ^ONE WAY AROUND THE PROBLEM IS TO PAUSE A SHORT TIME BETWEEN <TRMOP<S TO LET
THE MESSAGE EXCHANGE OCCUR.
.PG.I-4
2)##^LATE IN TESTING WE DISCOVERED THAT <COMMON WILL NOT ASSEMBLE FOR
A SYSTEM HAVING <DN87S<'S AND NO <DC75NP<'S OR <DN87<'S. ^THE SIMPLEST
WAY AROUND THIS IS TO TELL <MONGEN DURING THE NETWORK DIALOGUE THAT YOU HAVE
ONE <DN87 ON <DL10 PORT 0.

^REQUIRED ^PATCHES (^SEE FILE <NETWRK.DDT):
