VAX-26 PAGESWAPPER - September 1986 - Volume 8 Number 2 General material for publication in the Pageswapper should be sent (US mail only -- no "express" services please) to: Larry Kilgallen, PAGESWAPPER Editor Box 81, MIT Station Cambridge, MA 02139-0901 USA Preference is given to material submitted as machine-readable text (best is Runoff source). Line length should not exceed 64 characters and the number oftext lines per page should not exceed 48 (these limits are particularly important for sample commands, etc. where simple text justification will not produce a meaningful result). Please do not submit program source, as that is better distributed on the VAX SIG tape. Please do not submit "slides" from DECUS Symposia presentations (or other meetings) as they are generally a very incomplete treatment for those readers of the Pageswapper who are not so fortunate as to be able to travel to Symposia. Please DO write articles based on such slides to get the content across to a wider audience than is able to attend. For information about on-line submission to the Pageswapper dial: (617) 262-6830 (in the United States) using a 1200 baud modem and log in with the username PAGESWAPPER. Change of address, reports of non-receipt, and other circulation correspondence should be sent to: DECUS U.S. Chapter Attention: Publications Department 249 Northboro Road (BPO2) Marlborough, MA 01752 USA Only if discrepancies of the mailing system are reported can they be analyzed and corrected. VAX-2 PAGESWAPPER - September 1986 - Volume 8 Number 2 Editor's Workfile Editor's Workfile by Larry Kilgallen, Pageswapper Editor European newsletter delivery may have improved - I/O submission 506 from Switzerland arrived in the US mail dated July 9 and was written on a form from the June Pageswapper. That indicates a delay of no more than 5-6 weeks after US publication. The paper was of a different size than we use in the US, presumably meaning it was a reprint by DECUS in Europe. Deadline moved to September 25 - The DECUS staff has announced that they must have copy for the November newsletters by September 25 (rather than the expected September 30). Pageswapper contributions should be submitted to me sufficiently early, as appropriate for their conformance to format, spelling and grammar standards. Thanks to Gary Grebus - for the fine work he has done over the years as SIR coordinator for the US Chapter VAX Systems SIG. Unfortunately for the SIG, Gary has taken a position with DEC in Massachusetts, and SIG leadership positions are not open to DEC employees. The result of Gary's move may be beneficial to us all, however, as the persistance he has put into the SIR process will presumably be applied to the quality of products DEC produces. VAX-3 PAGESWAPPER - September 1986 - Volume 8 Number 2 Letters Letters July 18, 1986 Digital Review 160 State Street Sixth Floor Boston, MA 02109 Dear Sirs: In your Regular Rumor Roundup column for May 1986, you reported that Ford Motor Company is discontinuing the use of RA81 disk drives on VAX computer systems. To the best of my knowledge, this is far from the truth. At the site where I am system manager, we have just purchased 9 RA81 disk drives to augment the 3 that have been providing faithful service for the past three years. A quick count indicates that there are over 70 RA Series drives in use in the Dearborn, MI area alone. There are no serious plans, that I know of, for any sites to "dump" RA's in favor of anything else. An informal poll of system managers indicates plans to acquire 20 to 30 additional RA Series drives in the next 18 months. Although we experienced the "glue problem" with some of our drives, quick response by our Digital Field Service Engineer, Stuart Fuller, meant minimal downtime with many being replaced before any failures occured. All in all, my VAX system and RA81 disk drives have proven to be the most reliable pieces of equipment I have worked on in my 10 years of computing experience. Jack Patteeuw Software Specialist Electrical and Electronics Div. Ford Motor Company VAX-4 PAGESWAPPER - September 1986 - Volume 8 Number 2 Letters Pageswapper Editor's Comment Jack also sent us a copy of a similar letter he sent to Hardcopy which had printed the same rumor. How come the *Pageswapper* never gets any exciting rumors? INPUT/OUTPUT A SIG Information Interchange A form for INPUT/OUTPUT submissions is available at the back of the issue.

Look at [VAX79A.RK05DRV] and [VAX80A.DRIVERS]. Most likely would need updating to work well under VMS V4. If you get it working we would be interested too...

Reference: Image MOUNTSHR module VMOUNT routine MOUNT_VOLUME line 1901.

I then purchased a VT100 Line Drawing "Dot Pattren Set" (DPS) (LA10X-JN) in the hopes of being able to print doucments created by WPS+'s Two Dimensional Editor (TDE). Although the file created by WPS+ seems to contain all the proper escape and control characters (according to the LA100 manuals) the terminal does not enter "graphics" mode. Further investigation show that even when the terminal is in Loacl Mode and the commands to enter "graphics" mode ()0^N) are typed at the keyboard, nothing happens. DEC says "call Field Service" !!

It is called "String Terminator" and is used to mark the end of a sequence that begins with the DCS (or P ) Device Control String control character. Most likely it is being sent to be sure the terminal is not in the middle of a device control string.

As usual you should be able to get it from your LUG Librarian or order it from the DECUS Library. It consists of two 2400 foot, 1600 bpi tapes, [VAX000...] and [VAX86A...] on one reel and [VAX86B...] on the other. The index is back, however, it only goes through the Fall 1985 tape. The composite index is in a compressed format. Instructions for decompressing it are in [VAX000.INDEX]. Glenn Everhart, RCA, did most of the construction of the tape. I put in some late submissions and did some rearranging. However, I failed to update the file [VAX000]VAX86ABBRIEF.SUMMARY (dated 2 Jun 1986) prior to putting the tape in distribution. A corrected copy appears below.
