I wonder if it's documented in some obscure spot, or if we neglected to do so. The answer is: the word "CCL" passes the string that follows to RSTS as a command to execute. So any CCL command (anything added with define/command/system) will work. Normally "switch" is such a command, so you would do "ccl switch" (or the equivalent "ccl switch dcl").
Awesome, it works!
I suspect there's a reason that FORTH.RTS is sitting in UNSUPP$: (unsupported utilities)...Actually, it's because I ported it to RSTS as an internal tool, and managed to get it shipped so long as DEC wouldn't have to support it. There are two FORTH programs that should be included: one is ODT which is like the Basic ODT tool except that it handles large files, and the other is SDA which is an interactive crashdump analyzer inspired by (but not derived from) the VMS tool by that name. I don't remember if the sources are distributed; if not, SDA does have a HELP command that should give you some ideas. This Forth implementation is a port of Fig-FORTH by John S. James, with some RSTS-specific magic added. I just realized the file header says that it is in the public domain, so I suppose I should post the source... paul
That would be fantastic. Thanks, Will _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
