More RT-11 questions

Aha... found the problem with the boot command I gave earlier... it should have been .R PIP *DX1:A=DX1:MONITR.SYS/U *This* writes the bootstrap... /O actually does a boot. Just for completeness, the options for V2C PIP (and I would suspect V2B as well) are: /A Ascii file transfer /B Formatted binary /C Only include files with current date /D delete specified file /E list directory, include empty space /F list directory, short form (filenames only) /G Ignore input errors during file transfer /I Image mode (default) /K For bad block scan, list absolute block numbers /L list directory /M:n File position for magtape or cassette tape /N:n Number of segments (used with /Z) /O Bootstrap the specified device /R Rename file (new=old) /S Compress (squeeze) device - not the same as a file compress, which encodes the file, this simply moves the files to the beginning of a volume, and all the empty space toward the end (remember, RT-11 file structure uses contiguous files) /T Extend number of blocks allocated for a file /U Write bootstrap to volume /V Print version number of PIP /W Include absolute starting block number for directory listings /X copy files individually without combining... /Y Must be used to perform operations on .SYS and .BAD files /Z[:n] Zero directory (with 'n' extra words per directory entry) Megan Gentry Former RT-11 Developer +--------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Megan Gentry, EMT/B, PP-ASEL | Internet (work): gentry!zk3.dec.com | | Unix Support Engineering Group | (home): mbg!world.std.com | | Compaq Computer Corporation | addresses need '@' in place of '!' | | 110 Spitbrook Rd.
