**** Changes to Monitor Command Manual, 3rd edition, SAILON 54.5, Jan. 1976 ****

3/4/76 -- ME
The COOKIE option in LOGIN doesn't work if you have LOGRUN, INIT, or
PORNO option.  Precedence of these four mutually exclusive options is
(highest first): LOGRUN, INIT, PORNO, COOKIE.

3/5/76 -- ME
ESC Z or TTY BEEP will now cause your TTY to be beeped when your job
has finished doing something that took more than 15 seconds.  BREAK Z
or TTY-BEEP disable this feature.  MAIL comments and complaints to ME.
More precisely, if you are enabled for this automatic beeping, then
you will be beeped ("bell"ed on a non-display) when your job enters
STOPQ, or IOWQ for TTY input, or INTWQ for TTY interrupts only,
provided that your job's incremental wait time is 15 seconds (real
time) or greater.  A job's incremental wait time is the amount of
time spent waiting for the system since the last command was given
that caused the program to leave TTY input IOWQ or STOPQ.  This wait
time corresponds precisely to the incremental run time displayed on
the wholine--both incremental times are reset at the same instant.
Also, if you type BREAK X or TTY NO UPDATE or a similar command which
causes the incremental times never to be reset, then you will never
be beeped automatically (until you type ESC X or TTY UPDATE or other
similar command to restore the resettability of the incremental
times).  Non-ARPA PTYs are never beeped.

3/5/76 -- ME
In the line editor, CONTROL-K followed by RETURN will kill characters
from the cursor to the end of the line.  Similarly, CONTROL-S RETURN
will skip to the end of the line.

3/5/76 -- ME
In the line editor, CLEAR followed by CONTROL-RETURN will reload your
line editor with the text that was in it when CLEAR was typed, unless
the CONTROL-RETURN reloading feature is disabled by the program (e.g., E).
There is one special side effect of this feature: If you type RETURN
after doing a CLEAR and a CONTROL-RETURN, the line will be activated
and ended with a carriage return and a linefeed, EVEN IF THE LINE
ALREADY CONTAINED AN ACTIVATOR (altmode or linefeed).  This may
occasionally be useful if, for instance you or your program reloads
the line editor with a line ended with a null.  In this case, typing
RETURN would normally not cause a CR and LF to follow the text into
the TTY input buffer, but CLEAR, CONTROL-RETURN, RETURN will cause
the CR and LF to be transmitted to the input buffer!

3/9/76 -- REG
BEEP option in LOGIN causes the beep after waiting (ESC Z) feature to
be enabled.

Additional documentation about LOGIN:

If the command L or LOGIN with no argument is typed, LOGIN will prompt,
with #, for the PPN.

If LOGIN asks for a password and a blank one is supplied (by typing
return), then LOGIN assumes that the user typed the wrong PPN and now
wants to correct that error.  LOGIN prompts for a new PPN by typing #.

3/31/76 -- ME
The new /UFDPRO switch in COPY causes the DIRECTORY command (or
/SEARCH switch) to type out the UFD protection and the UFD's default
file protection for each PPN for which a header is listed.  These two
protection codes are output on the PPN's header line in the following
form:

   [PRJ,PRG]	UFD PRO=405; DEF PRO=000

The /UFDPRO switch (which currently can be abbreviated /U) is implied
by /FULL and by /PROTECTION (in a DIRECTORY command).  The /FULL
switch now prints this header line in addition to listing each file's
PPN on its own line.

To get just these protections typed out (without listing any files),
use /Q/F/U, e.g.,

DI/Q/F/U

Like the other directory switches (/PROTECTION, /WRITER, /DUMPED,
etc.), the /UFDPRO switch is sticky no matter where it occurs.  For
instance, to see the UFD protection and the dump date of files named
FOO and BAZ, use:

DI FOO,BAZ/DUMP/UFD

Note that if none of the files named exists, then the PPN header is
not printed and so the UFD protection will not be listed.

4/2/76 -- ME
MAIL now does not generate the warning "nonstandard page printer
geometry may obscure message" if either the current PP or PP 0 has
default dimensions.  Also, MAIL #LOGOUT will assume default /-E
unless /E given explicitly (this creates file LOGOUT.MSG which is
typed and deleted when you log out).

6/15/76 -- ME
The COPY switch /FULL now implies /DUMPED on non-displays as well as
on displays.  Also, DIRECTORY now implies /TIME on non-displays as
well as on displays.

6/18/76 -- REG
START, CSTART, REENTER and DDT commands will clear PCPUBL on the KL10.

6/25/76 -- REG
DART system-class dumps will not dump files with the extension SND.

6/27/76 -- MJC (by ME)
SNAIL: RER and RERUN now interpret any core size arg as number of pages.
Slash may end PPN (i.e., right square bracket may be omitted).
Starting SNAIL at starting address minus one causes it to read and
process the ED commmand file.
"PROCESS @" loads the contents of the CM command file into the line editor.

7/23/76 -- ME
DM lines are now displays with full display capabilities.  HELP DMKEY works.
DD screen no longer redraw on RESET/DPYCLR unless necessary.
DM line becomes "available" 5 seconds after logout.
DM high-speed phone line count on system wholine.
Default DM page printer parameters are 3 lines/glitch and 7 glitches/screen.

8/16/76 -- ME
ESC CALL puts you in DD channel wait queue if no channels available.
BRK CALL removes you from queue.
You get beeped when added to or removed from queue;
these beeps are not disabled by BREAK B (which disables normal beeps).
DD count on system wholine includes size of queue of waiters.

On DMs:
- - - -
User part of wholine is only output if it has changed in any respect;
however, if ESC C (or other escape command that erases whole screen) has
been typed, user part is forced to be output again.  ESC and META are
beeping no-ops if the line is not initialized.  TTY TABS command causes
terminal's tab stops to be set immediately; TTY NO TABS causes conversion
of tabs to equivalent numbers of spaces--TTY TABS is default.  When output
is being held, the line editor appears on the HOLDING message line.

8/22/76 -- ME
COPY has been modified to know about DMs.  In particular, it displays the
number of the current page of the input file in the upper right corner when
reading a file in ASCII mode, like on DD and III.  Also, the "ANDYSW" mode of
putting out ?<char> for certain non-printable characters has been flushed.

11/28/76 -- BH
The super duper all-system filename scanner in FTP has been modified so that
the filenames < and > are ignored for local purposes iff the server at the
other end is an ITS.  Otherwise they are the beginning of a TENEX user name
and a syntax error, respectively, as before.  Note that the string "> FUBAR"
will use FUBAR as the local filename, not FUB as the local extension.  Also,
in RPPN mode, any number of tokens separated by commas may appear within
square brackets, not just two as before.  This is for TOPS-10 SFDs.  This
change has been added to the MONCOM source file.

4/8/77 -- ME
New commands TTY ESCAPE and TTY BREAK allow all users, especially those
on non-displays, to enter ESCAPE/BREAK commands.  The format is
	TTY ESCAPE n x   or   TTY BREAK n x
where n is an optional unsigned number and x is the escape/break command
character.  The only commands currently significant on non-displays are
ESC/BRK I,F,X,Z; of these, the only one not previously available through
some other command is ESC I to interrupt a program.

4/11/77 -- ME 
New line editor commands:
αT  Transposes previous two characters in the line (if two or more to left)
αB  searches Backwards for the next character typed (like αS but backwards)
αL  kills backwards up to the next character typed (like αK but backwards)
The SUPCT bit (0,,40000) in the fourth word of the special activation
table (SETACT UUO) suppresses all of these commands; with SUPCT bit on,
these commands become normal user typein.

Also, the αR line editor command repeats the last-given forward or backward
search or kill command (αS, αK, αB, αL).

11/19/77 -- MRC
You may now use the /REPEAT and /HOLD switches with XSPOOL and may
queue to the XGP spooler when it is down, as has always been allowed with
the lineprinter spooler.  The reason for this is that these semi-
administrative controls do not prevent people from being losers with
leaving their listings around the XGP, but do prevent legitimate usage of
these features.  Also, according to Les it is actually cheaper to make
multiple copies on the XGP than to Xerox them!

PPN parsing is now intelligent; null fields now default to the
appropriate field in the ALIAS PPN (not the login PPN, by popular
request).  Almost any construct with PPN's that are meaningful but used to
be barfed at now work.

You can now unspool any job (ie, use the "privileged unspool") if you
use the /ALL switch in the UNSPOOL command.

SPOOL now defaults to .LPT if no extension is specified and no file
exists with the null extension.

XSPOOL now defaults to .XGP if no extension is specified and no file
exists with the null extension.

11/24/77 -- BH
Yet another change to FTP's universal file name parser.  If you are
talking to an ITS and your pathname contains a dot (.) not preceded
by a token, and if the dot is immediately (no space) followed by a
token, then the dot is ignored, and if the token is immediately
followed by a dot that one is ignored too.  Thus, the command
	GET .INFO.;TECO ORDER
is equivalent to
	GET INFO;TECO ORDER

11/26/77 -- BH

The BATCH command now has a time limit feature, to ameliorate the
problem of runaway batch jobs.  The feature is controlled by the
/LIMIT or /TLIMIT switch (the two names are equivalent) in the form
	/TLIMIT=mins	or	/TLIMIT=hrs:mins
The switch is given with other batch switches, right after the
command name.  The form /TLIMIT=∞ may be used for an infinite limit.
THE DEFAULT TIME LIMIT IS ONE HOUR for jobs submitted for later
execution, and is INFINITE for jobs run immediately with the /NOW
switch.  (Presumably the latter case implies that the user is watching
the job run and can interrupt it himself if necessary.)

The limit applies to the job's runtime (CPU time), not realtime.
The BATCH controller takes clock interrupts every two (real) minutes
to check the controlled job's runtime, so the time limit may in fact
be slightly exceeded before the job is stopped.  If the job runs over
its time limit, it is logged out immediately; the log file will end
with a line saying
	? BATCH: time limit exceeded.

11/27/77 -- BH

If you only want to do one file transfer command it is now possible to
do the whole thing in just one monitor command line, without hassle.
Just give a monitor command of the form

	FTP local ← {host}remote
	FTP local → {host}remote
	FTP {host}remote ← local
	FTP {host}remote → local

(Those are real braces--you type them!)  The direction of the arrow
indicates the direction of the transfer.  People on non-SAIL terminals
without right arrow can always use left arrow, since the remote file
pathname may be given first in this format.  (The rules for doing
things the old way are unchanged.)  Therefore, an equal sign may not
be used as the delimiter; it must be an arrow to indicate the direction
of the transfer.

Although there must be an arrow, either of the pathnames may be null,
in which case the other one will be used for both ends as in the old
system when only one pathname is given.

Normally FTP will attempt to do the transfer in image mode, 36 bit.
If you want ASCII mode transfer, give the command as above, but with
"FTP/A" instead of just "FTP".  If the remote host will not accept
the specified mode, the transfer is aborted and you can try negotiating
manually.

After doing the transfer successfully, FTP will close the connection
and exit.  So if you want to do several transfer commands, it pays
to do it the old way rather than several of these new commands.

11/27/77 -- MRC
The UFD monitor command allows users to create a directory on DSK or
a UDP.  This is the only a new account can be created remotely.
"UFD ?" gives details, but briefly the command format is
UFD device:project-name,programmer-name <CR>
and then you are asked password and file protection questions.  Alternatively,
if the directory exists and is empty you are asked if you want to
delete it.  UFD tries to lead you by the hand as much as possible.

11/27/77 -- MRC
While we are at it, the SUPDUP or SD monitor command starts up a SUPDUP
(SUPer DUPer image telnet).  The command form is SUPDUP host-name.  Only
A{I}, D{M}, ML, and MC are recognized so far as only they currently
provide SUPDUP service.  SUPDUP is a display TELNET protocol that allows
a user to be a display on the server's host independent of what are the
actual display codes.  Since SUPDUP supports bucky bits and the full ITS
character set, a user on a Data Disc can be effectivly a TV user at MIT.
Besides display service, it is (or should be) much faster than TELNET.

11/27/77 -- MRC
LOGIN now has the following new options:

The XMAIL option says do not type out a "Message from ..." mail
notification if you were the last person to write your mail file.  This
includes writes by MAIL; if enough people want that changed, it will be.

The XDIGEST option says always type out the AP news digest if you
have not seen it, whether or not NOMAIL is set.  It doesn't require DIGEST
to be set (ie, it turns on DIGEST).

The NONOTE option says never type out notices.  This is useful for
people who log in on multiple accounts but only want to see notices on
one (but still want their OPTION.TXT executed).

The SYSTAT option types out the number of logged-in jobs and the
number of jobs running at the current time (this is the old message that
guest users used to get).

LOGIN xxx where xxx is a programmer name logs you in as if you typed
LOGIN 1/xxx.  This is LOGIN's end of the master PPN feature.

LOGIN xxx pppppp where xxx is a programmer name and pppppp is a
password logs you in as 1/xxx, password pppppp.  This is a Tenex-style
of LOGIN.  Note that your password IS echoed with this style of login.
This is just for people who want to log in this way; you don't have to
use it if you don't want it.  It is slightly more efficient to use this
way (in the order of a few microseconds).

11/30/77 - BH

The one-line FTP command format now allows you to specify a particular
USER and PASSword to be sent to the remote host instead of the default
USER ANONYMOUS and PASS SAIL.  The format is to use
	{host/user}
instead of simply {host} in the command line.  If a password is
required, you will be asked to provide it later, with echoing turned off.
Example:
	FTP ←{SRI/NICGUEST}LIAISONS.TXT
will connect to SRI-KL, send USER NICGUEST and the password you supply
later, and copy their file <NICGUEST>LIAISONS.TXT into your local file
LIAISO.TXT all in one swell foop.

12/2/77 - BH

For people who want to store files on TENEXes, you have to be able
to send an ACCT command.  Therefore, the one-line format will now
accept a host specification in the form
	{host/user/acct}

That's rather a lot of typing.  Therefore, it is now possible to
keep all this information in your OPTION.TXT file.  Here's how:
in the FTP monitor command, use a host specification of the form
	{name↑}
(actually the right brace is optional, but it looks nice).  FTP
will then read your LOGIN PPN's OPTION.TXT file (not alias PPN)
looking for one or more lines starting "FTP:".  These lines should
contain one or more host definitions in any of these forms:
	{name:host/user}
	{name:host/user/acct}
	{name:host/user/acct/password}
	{name/user}
	{name/user/acct}
	{name/user/acct/password}
In the latter three cases, "name" also serves to identify the host.
ACCT can be empty to avoid sending an account number, e.g., {SRI/USER//PASSW}
Note that passwords are stored online at your own risk.  If you don't
include a password and one is needed, FTP will ask you and turn off
echoing as usual.  Note that the "name" you type must match the "name"
in OPTION.TXT exactly (except for case of letters); if you habitually
use an abbreviated version of a host name, that's what you should put
in OPTION.TXT too.

Example: (fictitious accounts, John, don't bother trying it)
In your OPTION.TXT you have
	FTP:{SUM/SU-AI/STAFF/FOO},{NET:SRI/NETPROG/NIC}
The command
	FTP →{SUM↑}FOO.BAR
will copy local file FOO.BAR to <SU-AI>FOO.BAR at SUMEX without
asking any more questions.  The command
	FTP ←{NET↑}FOO.BAR
will ask you for a password and copy <NETPROG>FOO.BAR at SRI-KL into
local file FOO.BAR.

An additional INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE to FTP is that LPPN is now the default
mode instead of RPPN.  This means that the one-line command
	FTP ←{SRI}<NETINFO>LIAISON.TXT[NET,DOC]
or the old-style
	RETR <NETINFO>LIAISON.TXT[NET,DOC]
will use local file LIAISO.TXT[NET,DOC] and remote file <NETINFO>LIAISON.TXT
instead of using local file LIAISO.TXT[your alias] and trying for remote
file <NETINFO>LIAISON.TXT[NET,DOC] as it previously did.  This is probably
just what you wanted unless you are using CMU, in which case I'm not sure
whether it is or not.  In a one-line FTP command, use the /R switch (i.e.,
start the command FTP/R) to get RPPN mode.

In the past, to retrieve a file and direct it to your terminal, you
had to give a command like
	RETR TTY:FOO←REMOTE.FILE
because if you left out the FOO the transfer was considered a multiple
(wildcard) operation for lack of a local filename.  There is now a TTY
command to do this; the format is
	TTY REMOTE.FILE
or, for a one-line FTP operation,
	FTP/T {HOST}REMOTE.FILE
Note that this is the only form of one-liner which does not require (or
in fact permit) a ← or → delimiter.  Also, /T implies /A.

12/6/77 - MRC

LOGIN now allows slash as a delimiter in OPTION.TXT like comma.

The RUN=filespec option allows an arbitrary program to be run.  The device
defaults to SYS:; there is no filename or PPN default.  RUN is another
mutually exclusive option, and has highest priority (ie, it is selected
before LOGRUN, etc...).

The INIT and LOGRUN options are now considered "obsolete", since
RUN=DSK:INIT and RUN=LOGRUN are equivalent and more general.  However,
these options will remain so OPTION.TXT files will not be broken.

You never have to specify project 1 now.  If you wish to do other than
a "/" login, just prefix the programmer name with the delimiter of your
choice.  For example:  LOGIN MRC and L /MRC are now equivalent, and of
course L .MRC does the obvious thing.

LOGIN now tells you if you have an illegal option in your OPTION.TXT.

LOGIN allows multi-line OPTION.TXT entries; carriage return is now treated
like space, so:

LOGIN:foo,bar,
 garply;

is the same as LOGIN:foo,bar,garply;
12/9/77 -- EREAD and READ monitor commands run E.

EREAD edits the given file in /R mode.
READ tries to find a documentation file with the given name
   and then edits it in /R mode.

12/25/77 -- BH

Ending a MAIL (or SEND etc) command line with ALT goes to E, like αβE
on a non-command message line.

12/26/77 - MRC

The mail notification is always reported if J=MAIL wrote the mail file,
regardless of the setting of XMAIL.

12/28/77 - MRC
DIAL, PTYJOB, OTELNET and NT now use ↑↑ as the buckyifier instead of
↑E.
The TELNET monitor command no longer runs T but instead runs a (for the
present) largely compatible program documented in TELNET.MRC[UP,DOC].

1/9/78 - BH

TTY [NO] GAG sets/clears a bit which prevents the TALK command and the
TTYMES UUO to your terminal (except TTYMES to SIXBIT /TTY/ from your
own job).

TTY [NO] CONVERT clears/sets a bit which prevents SAIL/ASCII conversion
of right brace, tilde, altmode, and not-equal.  The bit is used only
for physical terminals (not PTYs) which are not displays.  The problem
doesn't arise for DD and III displays; DMs and ARPAnet PTYs always
convert; non-ARPAnet PTYs never convert.  Conversion based on this
bit applies only to characters physically typed at the terminal, not to
characters written by PTYUUO.  Note that the sense of the bit is opposite
from the sense of the command; TTY CONVERT clears the bit and is the
default.  If you have a model 33 whose altmode key does not generate
33 octal, you need TTY NO CONVERT.

Note by ME -- The CONVERT bit applies on both input and output.

The TALK command types out ";; Link from FOO " on the terminals linked
to, where FOO is the programmer name if the linking TTY is logged in,
or the TTY name otherwise.  Typing CALL (or ↑C) to leave the link
types ";; Bye from FOO" on all TTYs remaining in the link, unless
only one other TTY was in the link, in which case ";; Link broken"
is typed.  TALK is always allowed, even if the target terminal is in
user mode, unless it is holding or has said TTY GAG.  The TLK privilege
no longer exists.

LOGIN with % now acts like / rather than , for message typeout.  There
is a new delimiter ! which is like / but requires a password even if
it is a remote-only password and you are loggin in locally; this is
because LOGIN will not grant privileges (except LUP and LIV) without
a password.

1/11/78 - ME

The monitor commands ATTACH, KILL, FINISH, and RESET (new command) now
all accept an optional job number and PPN for the job to affect.  If a
job number is given without PPN, your own PPN is assumed.  If no job
number or PPN is given, FINISH and RESET affect your own job, ATTACH
attaches the first detached job of yours, and KILL gives an error
message.  In all cases where you are doing one of these commands to
another job, that job's terminal gets a message saying what is
happening and who is doing it.  If you use any of these commands on a
job with a different PPN from your own, then a similar message is
logged on the CTY.  None of these commands requires any privileges,
except that the ATTACH command requires the ATT privilege to attach a
phantom -- normal users shouldn't ever need to do that.  Anyone
maliciously using any of these commands on another user will be dealt
with severely.

When you KILL a job, any files that job has open for writing are
discarded, as would happen if a RESET were done for that job.  If you
want to close (and keep) any files the job has open for writing, then
you should FINISH the job before you KILL it.

If you try to ATTACH a job that is already attached (elsewhere), then
the job is detached from its attached terminal and attached to yours.

The RESET command executes a RESET UUO (to flush files, etc.) without
otherwise changing core or core size.

The FLUSH command requires the UPG privilege to flush a terminal
that is in use (has a job logged in).  However, ENABLE UPG will work
for anyone (must be done once per FLUSH command given).

TALK <programmer name> now works if the given person is logged in
on exactly one terminal.

The only privileges that can now be enabled by the ENABLE monitor
command are UPG (for FLUSHing a terminal in use), LUP (if you're
really on a local terminal), and LIV (for suppressing autologout).
Anyone can enable UPG and LIV, but only jobs on local terminals
can enable LUP.

See also NEWPRV.JBR[S,DOC] for details about changes in the privilege
system.

1/12/78 -- ME
The spoolers now notify *,<programmer> about anything spooled
by <any project>,<programmer>.

1/13/78 -- JBR
New command DSKSIZ.

DSKSIZ PRG tells you how much space programmer PRG is allocated and using
on the disk.  It can also tell you what files the purger would delete to
get programmer PRG under allocation.  DSKSIZ accepts the switch /Q to
suppress asking questions about output files.

Each line of DSKSIZ output is in the following format:
[PRJ,PRG]  n Files.  t T.  w DW.  p%  Date
This means that disk area PRJ,PRG has n files occupying t disk tracks and
w disk words (each track is 2334. words) with a storage efficiency of p%.
Date is the date of the most recently written file in the area.

1/13/78 -- JBR
New command UNDELE.

UNDELE A←B tries to find deleted file B and undelete it, writing it out
as a new file, A.

1/16/78 -- ME
ESC Q to see another of the same programmer's jobs on the wholine
sets things up so that ESC * will redraw that same wholine rather
than do another ESC Q.

The char "!" appearing after the tty number in the wholine means that the
wholine is for the job attached to the terminal where the wholine appears
and that that terminal is marked as private.  Thus only the owner of a
private terminal will see a "!", which is for informing him and him only
that his terminal is private.

?/?/77 -- ME
αβ<space> and αβ<bs> are repeating line editor cursor movement commands

1/24/78 - bh

ESC|BRK n B does temporary select of audio channel 0 with|without beeps
allowed, for n minutes.

BRK U (no arg) terminates paging interruption if any, else resets temporary
audio map to permanent.

MAIL will send to any PTY which isn't GAGged.

1/25/78 - bh

The temporary selection made by ESC|BRK n B survives resets of the job.
An explicit ADSMAP UUO with argument -1 can reset it, however.

The FINISH command is allowed to a phantom job (JLOG off) without ATTPRV
if the job giving the command has the same PPN as the phantom, and the
programmer name is not SYS.

The PTTY command types out the responsible TV for a DD line.

RCV, when creating a new output file, will create it in non-E format
iff it is not on [2,2] and the source file is also non-E format.

1/28/78 - mrc

there is no longer a buckifier in TELNET.  Read TELNET.MRC[UP,DOC].

1/30/78 - bh

MAIL will send prg mail to MSG.MSG[1,prg] if it exists.  If it exists but
is protected against the mailer, the message will be queued and the remind
phantom will override the protection.

2/7/78 -- ME

The ATTACH command is allowed to a phantom job (JLOG off) without ATTPRV
if the job giving the command has the same PPN as the phantom, and the
programmer name is not SYS.  (Just like FINISH above.)

2/18/78 - bh

The GRIPE command with a single word on the command line after the word
GRIPE (e.g., GRIPE FOO) will try to find an entry of the form BUG-FOO
in the forwarding file, and send the gripe there instead of to GRIPES.TXT.

3/28/78 -- ME

The XEROX command has been flushed.

?/?/77 

The default font for the XGP is now GACS25.
The WHEN command now runs WHEN.  See WHEN.DON[UP,DOC].

3/31/78 -- ME

The LOGIN option FTABS tells the system that your terminal has hardware
tab-stops if you are on a Fast phone line (TTY0-5, TTY15, TTY17).  The
FNOTABS login option tells the system that your terminal does not have
hardware tab-stops if you are on a Fast phone line.  Both of these options
are ignored when you log in on any TTY line except the fast phone lines.

4/2/78 -- ME

The Q command (quick typeout) in the WHO program is now available from
displays as well as non-displays.  Note that Q doesn't list phantoms.

4/10/78 -- ME

The GLASS and NOGLASS login options now set and clear the TTY GLASS bit.
Also, the FDM login option, when encountered for TTY15 or TTY17, marks the
Imlac as a DM128 with 30 lines (any explicit height given will be used).
The FNOTABS login option is ignored for TTY15 and TTY17 since the DM
simulator running in the Imlacs has tabs.

↑← <n> L <ch> does on TTYs what α<n> αL <ch> does in lined.

RPGSAV option in LOGOUT writes a file QSVCM.TMP with all your CM[*,*]
TMPCOR files, in the format of one line per file with
PRJ,PRG	text
(that's a tab after PRG, and the CRLF is both part of the text and the
delimiter between entries).  Likewise ED files into QSVED.TMP.  The
RPGSAV option in LOGIN does the inverse operation.

*** All changes before this point are in SAILON 54.6 and online in
    MONCOM.BH[S,DOC]. ***

When updating the manual, don't forget to include any documentation from
NOTICE[UP,DOC] that is newer than the printed manual edition.

The command TTY WIDTH ddd, where 128≤ddd≤255, completely suppresses the
monitor's normal insertion of CRLFs for long lines on the TTY.

LOGIN option BBOARD and E/COPY filehack \BBOARD just like GRIPE but
for file BBOARD.TXT[2,2]  Also MAIL BBOARD forwards there.  For
allowing users to flame off harmlessly.

FTP/Q in one-liner means don't ask for confirmation when overwriting file.

Replace all occurances of "SAIL" refering to the name of the monitor in
the network section (TELNET, SUPDUP) with "WAITS".

Monitor error messages are all wrong for the IMP.  Also still contains
some DAC devices.

TTY BLINK (or BOLD) only affects the line editor display, and causes
the boldness (blinking) of characters to be inverted.

Manual should make clear that monitor commands can't be bigger than
a TTY input buffer.  This comes up specifically with MAIL commands.

MAIL accepts a dot (.) as part of the name of a user at a remote host
without quoting.  I.e., MAIL STAN.K%AI works but MAIL S1.DIS still
gives the message about using @ or # as desired.

Include ACCESS[3,2] and blather about how it works (source is on [S,MRC]).

Typo, A4.1 "a <bs> is seem in a ..." → "seen"
Also, table of contents, A8.2 needs more tab stops.
Also, sec. 6, ATT priv only allows attaching phantoms, not all jobs.
A5, PUMPKIN, "10/4/78" should be "/10/4/78"

∂04-Sep-78  0417	DON  	Monitor manual
A few errors of commission/omission in the manual...
On page 100 (xspool switches), it says that in /FONT#n n can be
from 0 to 127.  But then it says only 16 such switches can be
given.  I think the latter statement is incorrect.

Also, when you mention partial font loading, you should probably
include a sentence referring to XPART.

On page 50, it says the NOGAG login option is "Like TTY GAG"!

WHO login option must be after DM and friends to work on a DM.
HIDE and UNHIDE options refer to "DD channel" should just be "TTY"

MAIL accepts USER@HOST iff no space before the atsign.  Also, there
is a bug in the table of contents macros for appendices. (fixed in source)
DISABLE ALL tuns off all but LUP and LIV.

SEND to a user who is logged in at a gagged tty and an ungagged tty
returns a reassuring message to offset the TTY gagged message.  If the
recipient is logged in only at a gagged tty (or the TTYMES fails for
some other reason), the user is given the opton of mailing the message,
as if the recipient were not logged in at all.  Note that none of this
applies to the nonstandard page printer warning.


The TTY CONVERT bit is ignored for PTYs.  Conversion is always done for
IMP PTYs when written by the owning job, i.e. the telnet server, and is
never done for other PTYs.  For real TTYs, conversion applies only to
characters physically typed by a non-display TTY, e.g., not by PTY-write
to a physical TTY number.

When you delete a reminder or queued mail with CANCEL, the text of the
message is now mailed back to the message's originator.

Non-dpy buckification by ↑←C etc quotes a character which is quoted by
↑←, e.g., ↑← C ↑C means control-beta, like ↑← C ↑← ↑C.  However this
doesn't apply to buckification of ↑← itself.

The "DET DDn!" command makes DD channel n unavailable nohow, unlike the
non-! version which just makes it unpreferred.  ATT DDn undoes both kinds
of detach.

Audio switch command changes: ESC/BRK n B gets n mins silence with/without
paging allowed.  Beep disposition same as before the command.  BREAK U to
flush a single page works even if ESC U in effect, selecting channel 16.

∂3 Oct 78 -- ME
The WHO option in LOGIN is no longer a no-op, but turns on the wholine only if
you don't already have a wholine.  NOWHO is still required to suppress wholine.

∂23 Oct 78 -- ME
BREAK CLEAR now disavows responsibility and homeness for the line you
are tied to (i.e., viewing) rather than the one you are mapped to.

∂8 Nov 78  MRC
HOST command runs HOST program.

PLIST, UNPUMPKIN commands to list and delete PUMPKIN requests.  See NOTICE.

WHO uses @ for a host name, & for a filename like FINGER.  See NOTICE/265P.
Actually @ runs "smart algorithm" (5/28/79).

∂29 Nov 78 -- ME
The switch /UIGNORE tells COPY to ignore UFDs that are read-protected from
the user; that is, for such UFDs no message is typed out and no
confirmation is required to continue.  This applies to all commands, such
as DIR *.ZXC[*,*]/UIGNORE and COPY FOO←*.ZXC[*,*]/UIGNORE.


Blather about P2LOAD.

CKMAIL command.

Channel 12 is KYUU now.  17 is KSAN.

∂24 Jan 79 -- ME
EDIT-CLEAR on a DM (actually CONTROL-≡) flushes all the output queues
(wholine, user program, piece of paper, line editor, and special) and
generates the INTFOP interrupt for the job controlling the PTY which
the DM is, if any.

∂9 Feb 79 -- ME
XPART is now a monitor command that runs SYS:XPART.
Include XPART documentation.

∂11 Feb 79 -- ME
PDETACH monitor command is just like DETACH, except that it also makes the
detached job a phantom (JLOG off) so that it will go away if it encounters
an error.  There is no CPDETACH (nor PCDETACH) so if you want to continue
the job, you should do a CCONTINUE command first and then the PDETACH.

∂15 Feb 79 -- ME
The command TTY NO DELETE, given from a non-display, will make the system
interchange the two input characters 177 and 010 (WAITS and ASCII
backspaces, respectively).  TTY DELETE is the default.  The purpose of NO
DELETE is to allow the user to enter backspaces by using an ASCII
backspace key instead of a DELETE key (since on some terminals the DELETE
or RUBOUT key is not conveniently located).

In NO DELETE mode, to enter a DELETE (177) (e.g., to backspace over a
character in the input line), type a ↑H (i.e., ASCII backspace--010), and
to input the character ↑H (lambda on WAITS--010) type a real DELETE
character (i.e., RUBOUT--177).

NO-DELETE mode does not affect non-ARPA PTYs or displays.

The LOGIN options DELETE and NODELETE are also available to set the mode
automatically upon logging in.  DELETE is the default.

∂23 Feb 79 -- ME
RPPN being once again the default mode for FTP, you can now get LPPN mode in a
one-line FTP command by using the /L switch (e.g., start command with FTP/L).
For details of LPPN and RPPN modes, READ NOTICE/213P.

∂2 Mar 79 -- ME
WHO now runs only for 10 minutes after getting the "∞" command.  Also, the
"TV" column in the per-job display contains the number of the Data Disc
TV, if any, where the given job is being controlled.  Also, "@" command
now once again references following indirect file. [5/28/79 MRC - @ is now
smart about file and host, so everybody should be happy.  NOTICE/265P]

∂5 Mar 79 -- ME
The XGP spooler now checks every 40 pages (instead of 50) to see if there
is a higher-priority spooler listing to do.

∂10 Mar 79 -- MRC
VERIFY and PROVE commands

∂15-Mar-79  1331	DON
[1] Something about CKSUM program, since CKMAIL command may run it.
    See CKSUM.DON[UP,DOC].
[2] Note that /Q switch in COPY/DELETE/RENAME... commands now suppresses
    the "Type Y to go on" questions after most non-fatal errors, but the
    error messages themselves are still printed.  Thus DEL/Q FOO,BAR,BAZ
    can be used in BATCH and DO files to make sure the three files do
    not exist (formerly would hang if FOO or BAR were missing).

∂16 Mar 79 -- ME	DM width parameter
The command TTY DM n m<cr> tells the system that you are on a DM that
has n rows and m columns.  Similarly for TTY DM128 n m<cr>.  If m is not
between 16 and 96 inclusive (current limits), it will be ignored.  And
if n is not between 8 and 62 inclusive (current limits), it will be
ignored.  Thus to change only the number of columns the system thinks your
DM has, you can type TTY DM 0 96 (say).

Also, the LOGIN options DM, DM128, FDM and FDM128 all now accept both
a DM height and a DM width, in the form DM=n=m where n is the decimal
height (ignored if not in range) and m is the decimal width (ignored
if not in range).

NOTE: For now, the DM width MUST be a multiple of 8.  If it isn't, then
it is trunctated to the next lower multiple of 8.

∂20 Mar 79 -- ME	LOGIN
Message typed out when no such UFD (really want to create?) clarified
and shortened.  Also, when a new UFD is being created during login,
the user gets the NOMAIL and NONOTE options free.

∂27 Mar 79 -- ME
FINISH cmd can no longer be abbreviated F; note: beware of using FI to
abbreviate FINISH, because FI is really the FILES command.
TTY ENB cmd renamed TTY ENABLE, and legal with DEV priv as well as from CTY.
TTY EXIST nnn allows TTYnnn to exist; legal only from CTY or with DEV priv.

∂30 Mar 79 -- ME	DSKSIZ
New /A switch added to force listing of all of the user's files in PURDAT,
in order in which they would be purged.  For details, READ DSKSIZ.

∂31 Mar 79 -- DON	FIND
Program replaced by faster, more versatile version.  Entire section should be
replaced by all or part of new documentation file (READ FIND).  Also, DFIND
and OFIND commands added.

∂7 Apr 79 -- ME		Spooler priorities
The spoolers now keep track of the amount of time recently spent printing
listings for each of up to (currently) 11 different users.  In calculating
the priority for any file spooled by one of those users, the time spent
printing that user's recent listings is subtracted from the time the files
has spent waiting to be printed.  The intended effect of this is not to
credit any user's spooler request for time spent waiting for another
listing made for the same user.  The print time for any user is zeroed
when that user no longer has anything in the spooler's queue.  The QSPOOL
command lists the recent print times following the list of files in the
queue; the print times appear in order by size except that the current
user's print time is shown first.

∂8 Apr 79 -- MRC
ESC I B in SUPDUP toggles blinking.

∂12 Apr 79 -- ROB	Spacewar mode
Spacewar isn't run on P2 anymore.  P1 and P2 are KL10 and KA10.
Flush all references to PDP-6 (except to mention as P3).

∂29 Apr 79 -- ME
TALK command is no longer legal when not logged in; use SEND instead.

∂30 Apr 79 -- MLB	New DO
Lots of peculiar new features added to DO.  Details in DO.RPH[UP,DOC]/3P
et seq.  The only downwards incompatibility is that ?\ can no longer be
called as a "macro", as it is now used to enable the new features.

∂2 May 79 -- ME  	WHO
Four new commands have been added to the WHO program.  They are:
	D	Devices -- display only the Devices (e.g., files) open
	J	Jobs -- display Jobs (undoes D command) as well as devices
	O	Omit statistics (uptime, null time, etc.) from display
	I	Include stats (undoes O command)
Both D and J restore the position of the window back to the top of the
currently selected text.  All of these commands are orthogonal to the
commands that select which jobs to display.  For example, if you want
to see only files open for volleyball players, you can say WHO VD.

∂18 May 79 -- ME 	/END switch for .XGP file headers
The switch /END is allowed to occur in the header page of a .XGP file
along with other XGP spooler switches.  The /END switch means there
are no more switches in the header page and the rest of that page is
to be ignored (as comments) (up to the first formfeed following).

*18 May 1979	SNAIL changes	MJC

SNAIL no longer allows ambiguous option abbreviations.  For instance,
/SA used to be accepted for /SAIL, though it also abbreviates /SAVE.
An abbreviation which matches two or more options will now be rejected
with the error message "Ambiguous option."

SNAIL now accepts the NULREL option, which sends compiler output to
the NUL device.

The NOSAISEG option has been flushed, and replaced by the SAISEG option.
SAIL programs will now, by default, be executed in a single segment.
You may negate the SAISEG option; thus
	EX/SAISEG FOO
	  ...
	EX/-SAISEG
will load FOO completely into a lower segment before execution.  Note
that /SAIS is the shortest acceptable abbreviation of this option.
Note also that bugs have been noted with LOADER in connection with 
using library routines and not using an upper segment (viz. the gripes
file); I think you can win by using LINK, i.e. by saying /LINK.

Incidentally, you may negate any SNAIL option.  I'm not sure everyone
knew about this (or cared).
