-
- As a special treat this version of the SAM76
- language contains approximately 50 functions
- which have not yet been described anywhere.
-
- Watch for Doctor Dobbs or put yourself on
- the list to get advance preprints by sending
- me a prestamped envelope self
- adressed (to yourself of course) which
- contains one dollar. This will entitle you
- to receive the next upcoming preprint and
- then you can recurse {note the re in front
- of the preceding word}.
-
- In particular be careful of the XU function.
-
- A list of the subfunctions of XU is obtained
- by doing &xu,lf, /, and the XU subfunctions
- are performed thus %xu,mm,1000,1200,6000/
- will simply move memory starting at 1000
- through 1200 into 6000.
-
- likewise, VM - verify memory, DM duplicate (fill) memory
- etc. . .
-
- You can get a list of functions in the disk overlay
- by executing the "lff" list file function.
-
- Be careful not to use the following recklessly
- until the description has been published:
-
- %xrs,unit,track,sector/ X read sector
- %xws,unit,track,sector/ X write sector
- %xbf,filename/ X bring file
- %xuf,filename/ X update file
- %dif,filename/ Designate Input File
- %dof,filename/ Designate Output File
- %rfr,/ Read File Record
- %wfr,text/ Write File Record
- %sic,channel/ Select Input Channel
- %soc,channel/ Select Output Channel
- The "ti" time and "sti" set time functions will
- work properly if you have a COMPTEK clock, with a port
- adress of 250.
