GENERAL NEWS

Weekend Service

The main network, including links to SERCnetand PSS, normally runs throughout the weekend,although Sunday is treated as 'vulnerable' byboth SERC and the Computing Service for repairand testing purposes. The Phoenix service onthe IBM 3081 normally runs until 22.00 onSaturday, but Saturday is treated as'vulnerable' if engineering work needs to becarried out. Weekend services are thereforeliable to be curtailed or cancelled; we try togive as much notice as possible of weekend workbut it is not always possible to predict whatthe requirements will be far in advance.Users who have particular needs for a weekendservice (such as a seminar or conference)should inform Judy Bailey (JABl) as early as.,possible.

Of Interest to Partially-Sighted Users

Partially-sighted users may be interested toknow that a ROM is available for the BBCmicrocomputer containing a terminal emulatorprogram producing large size characters. Lineturning is carried out at word boundaries tomake the output more readable. The program isalso suitable for courses when the BBC micro isused to drive television monitor screens. Formore information contact John Matthewson(MJM3).

Text Archives

Text archives are maintained at a number ofinstitutions, the ones of most interest beingat the Literary and Linguistic ComputingCentre and at Oxford (Computing Service).Anyone interested in obtaining or depositing amachine readable text should contact JohnDawson (JLDl) of the Literary and LinguisticComputing Centre in the first instance.

Kurzweil Data Entry Machine (KDEM)

The Kutzweil Data Entry Machine (KDEM) is anoptical character reader that enables printedand typewritten text in different fonts andalphabets to be read and converted tocomputer-readable format without the need forkeyboarding. Certain types of material arenot suitable e.g. photocopies (unless very goodquality), line-printer output, newspapers,faint/uneven print etc. Also, it is notusually worth reading short documents (lessthan about 10 pages).

In general, users are expected to do their ownscanning (after being shown how to use themachine). However, staff permitting, a limitedscanning service can be provided which ischarged for (see rates below).

It should be noted that stringent COPYRIGHTregulations apply and only authorised work maybe done. A special application form must becompleted for each document to be read, and aletter of authority may be required.

For further information, please see the Phoenixdataset INFO.KDEM and/or contact Maggie Oakley,User Services (MZOl, room P34, ext. 643).

BBC Micro Workstation in the User Area

There is now available a BBC micro workstationin the data preparation area of the User Area.It comprises a BBC Model B with Disc FilingSystem, a monochrome (green) monitor for textwork, a colour monitor, an Epson MX-80F/T IIImatrix printer, a BBC single-sided single-density disc unit and cassette recorder. Thework-station's primary purpose is fordemonstrations and these will have priorityover other uses for short periods. Howeverusers may access the terminal for its VIEWingand screen dumping facilities, and also for itsfile transfer facilities as it enables filesto be transferred between Phoenix and BBCcassettes and single-sided single-densitydiscs. Further documentation may be found inthe file MICROLIB.BBCMICRO.TERMINAL anddemonstrations etc. may be arranged throughRichard Stibbs (RJSl, room P34, ext. 643).

'MVS; What is it? Why are we changing to it?Why is it taking so long?'

TECHNICAL NEWS

The Editor

The ZED editor was introduced in 1978 as areplacement for EDIT and since then users havebeen encouraged to change (and no courses havebeen run to teach the old editor to new users).In spite of this campaign, 10% of editing stilluses EDIT rather than ZED; users are remindedthat only ZED is being transferred to MVS.

The following list of differences is reprintedfrom Newsletter 6 2 (December 1978). A ZEDreference card is available from the ComputingService Bookshop, price lOp.

Limited backward movement and in-store lineshuffling.

Enhanced search facilities (e.g. Find blankline. Find not).

Flexible control structure (IF-THEN-ELSE,WHILE, UNTIL).

Generalised global commands.

Hexadecimal mode.

The following are the major incompatibilitieswith EDIT, which new users of ZED should bearin mind:

ZED is initialised with line 1 rather thanline 0 as the current line

The delimiter set is restricted to . , ; ! ?•"+-*/. In particular space cannot beused as a delimiter.

The L command does not exist (the F commandhas options for finding at the start and endof line, etc.).

Q at the highest command level behaves as W(STOP does what Q at top level does in EDIT).

The < command moves the pointer back onecharacter only; PR (pointer reset) resets tothe start of line.

File names in addition to ddnames may be usedas arguments (in delimited strings) of the C,R and I commands.

Alphabetic command names must be terminatedby a non-letter; for example, NNN is illegaland should be replaced by 3n or N;N;N.

The G command is replaced by GA, GB or GE.

Justification is done in parallel with otherediting.

When run interactively ZED prompts for eachline of commands unless it has just verifieda line.

File handling operations are donedifferently.

PL360

PL360 is to be withdrawn from service. It hasonly been used for certain maintenancepurposes recently and these are no longerrequired. It was formerly in the 'forexperienced users only' category (seeNewsletter 94, April/May 1982). Anyoneseriously inconvenienced by the withdrawalshould contact Nick Maclaren (NMMl, room P31,ext. 640) as soon as possible.

New version of Macro Spitbol

As advertised in the Easter Newsletter, a newversion of Macro Spitbol has been put intoservice. Most users should notice no change,except that a number of minor bugs have beenfixed. The error recovery in the run-timesystem has been modified considerably, but thespecification remains unchanged.

The only major change is that the defaultmaximum record length on input is now 200,instead of essentially infinite; this is anunavoidable restriction to prevent an obscureconcatenation bug. Longer records can be readby setting options in the third argument of theINPUT procedure; see the manual for furtherdetails.

For further details, or in case of difficulty,users should contact Charles Jardine (CJIO,room P21, ext. 630) or Nick Haclaren (NMMl,room P31, ext. 640).

Graphics .

Fortran Unit Number 8

DO you get this message on your plotter output(or from the V option in VIEW)? If so you areusing the old graphics library which is nolonger recommended and will not be availableunder MVS (see Newsletter 97, September 1982for the reasons).

Programs which are to be used after thechangeover to MVS, in the summer of 1984, willneed to be converted to CAMPLOT (or one of theother packages mentioned inINFO.GRAPHICS.SUMMARY). Conversion of highlevel programs (using GR- routines) to CAMPLOTis usually quite straightforward: seeINFO.CAHPLOT.HIGHSPBC:$CHANGES, c. 80 lines.Conversion of low level programs is lessstraightforward, but there is a guide inINFO.CAMPLOT.CONVERT, C. 200 lines.

CAMPLOT offers many extra facilites, including;

dotted and dashed lines

routines for drawing arcs of circles andellipses

a wide choice of text founts, includingGreek

Enquiries to do with conversion from the oldlibrary should be directed to Brian Kelk(BCKl), Steve Kearsey (SK17) or Dave Harrison(DJHl), room P32, ext. 641.

ASPEX

The ASPEX graphics package is now available.ASPEX produces three-dimensional surfacerepresentations of data consisting of 'heights'on a rectangular grid. The actions performedby ASPEX are controlled by a series of commandssupplied by the user, the result being a plotsuitable for VIEWing or plotting out in theusual manner. Details of the ASPEX packageare given in the ASPEX User's Reference Manual,a copy of which is in the User Library. Seealso INFO.ASPEX for details of the proceduresand notes on use.

Please contact Steve Kearsey (SK171 if youhave any problems.

New Version of ALGOL68C Plotter Package

A new version of the ALGOL68C graphics packageis now in service. The main change is theaddition of routines for drawing hidden-lineviews of surfaces (heights on a rectangulargrid). The other major changes are:

the ddname for output is PLOT instead of PLOTOUT

the default paper length is 300mm instead of 500mm

The modified specification is inINFO.SPEC.A68PLOT; there is a summary of thechanges at the beginning of the document. Thenew version may be tried out now by using theload modules in A68LIB.PLOT.NLIB and theenvironments in A68LIB.PLOT.NENV.

Enquiries should be directed to Brian Kelk(BCKl, room P32, ext. 641).

Extra Founts for CAMPLOT

A number of additional founts are nowavailable for use with CAMPLOT. These are:

GSFll - ComplexGSF12 - ComplexGSF13 - ComplexGSF14 - TriplexGSF15 - TriplexGSF16 - German

GSF18 - Italian

ScriptGreek

CyrillicRoman

ItalicGothic

Gothic

The relevant fount load-modules have beenplaced in CAMPLOT.FOUNTLIB. Details of theindividual founts may be obtained by viewing(or plotting) the relevant picture file inCAMPLOT.FOUNT.PLOTS. A plot displaying samplesof the text founts available is provided in thefile CAMPLOT.FGUNT.PLOTS (SAMPLE).

Italicised numerals have now been provided forfount GSFIO.

Character Code in MVS

The encoding of characters into bits that isused in IBM operating systems (EBCDIC) is notas completely defined by IBM as might bedesired and IBM's definition has changed sincewe originally invented the extra codes thatwere required at Cambridge (in 1972). As aresult, a number of the codes we use differfrom those used at other installations.

We plan to alter the codes we use for thefollowing characters when we convert to theMVS operating system so as to become morecompatible with current IBM EBCDIC and otherinstallations (planned for the summer of 1984);

ASCII Current Proposed(IA5) EBCDIC EBCDIC

code code in code inMVT MVS

Left square bracket 5B 42 AD

Right square bracket 5D 43 BD

Left curly bracket 7B 44 CORight curly bracket 7D 45 DOBackslash 5C 62 EOCircumflex accent 5E 6A 71Pound sign

— 4A 72

All codes are shown in hexadecimal. Textfiles that contain any of these characterswill have to be translated when they are movedto MVS. Details of how to do this will be

available in due course. For those who wish toexperiment with the new encoding now, there aretables MVTMVS and MVSMVT in SYS2.C0DE that can

be used with the TRANS command.

Programs maintained by the Computing Servicethat accept input or produce output in whichthese characters occur will be updated to usethe new encoding in MVS. Users may haveprograms they have to convert themselves.

Users may wish to know that the proposed newencoding is compatible with File TransferProtocol EBCDIC (on the IA5 subset), and withthat used at ULCC on the Amdahl 470/V8. It isalso much closer than the present Cambridgeencoding to those used at NUMAC and atRutherford.

We also propose to phase out support for thefollowing characters that can be produced onthe central printers:

Current EBCDIC

code in MVT

Logical ORLogical ANDUpward arrowLeftward arrow

6364

65

66

Our aim is that on the same timescale as themove to MVS, the central printers will becomecapable of printing all 94 printable ASCIIcharacters (including curly brackets,circumflex and grave accents) but notnecessarily the above four characters.

Fortran 77

Fortran programmers interested in the featuresof Fortran 77 language should printout (700lines) the file INFO.FORT77. For informationon IBM's VS Fortran see Newsletter 102 or thefile INFO.NEW.

Terminal Interface

All terminal connections now have the newinterface (Newsletter 100, Christmas 1982) andso can access many systems throughout theworld in addition to phoenix/MVT. For detailssee the file INFO.NEW andINFO.TERMINAL. INTERFAC.

RELABEL Program

A new version of this utility for replacing thestatement labels of a Fortran program with anascending sequence is now available. Althoughthe facilities and defaults remain the same,there are some incompatibilities. The fulllist of changes is as follows:

a) The LJL, START and INC symbolic parametershave been replaced by a single OPT parameter.

b) The options consicommas.

START=numberlNC=number

LJL

t of a list separated by

start value for labels /increment for labels ^left justify labels

S and I are alternative to START and INCrespectively. The equals sign is optional.

c) RELABEL now deals with IBM VS Fortranstatements such as OPEN, CLOSE, AT etc. It doecontinue to accept IBM Fortran-IV.

d) Text appearing in columns 1-5 of acontinuation line gives rise to a warning(return code 4) rather than an error (returncode 8). The text is not preserved by RELABEL

Of Interest to SERCnet users

7500 Line Limit on Transferred Documents

Large amounts of data are routed via SERCnet,between Phoenix and systems at Daresbury andRutherford Labs, and in London. Much of thistraffic is constrained by the various hostsystems to use HASP protocols, and has torestart from the beginning in the event offailure. Large documents can thus causeconsiderable congestion, and a limit of 7500lines per document is now being imposed on theICF machine through which the connection ismade. This limit represents a sensiblemaximum for a reasonable chance of completionat first attempt, and is believed to cater forthe majority of existing traffic. Any queriesmay be addressed to Ken Warner at ControlEngineering (Phoenix identifier KNWl).

Output from Remote Systems

Users transferring output to Cambridge fromremote systems are requested to register theirremote usernames with Roger Stratford or KenWarner (Phoenix identifiers RS12 and KNWlrespectively) if they have not already done so.Without this information we cannot undertaketo rescue stray output.

ICF.NOTES:RALPRINT (NEWS.RALPRINT on CAGA) hasbeen updated to show how Rutherford MVT userscan override the 88 line pagination whenprinting at Cambridge.

ICF.TRANSTAB now contains the definitiveSERCnet/Phoenix EBCDIC translations. Nofurther changes are anticipated beforePhoenix/MVS. See ICF.NOTES:CHARSET(NEWS.CHARSET on CAGA).

Hosts connected to SERCnet and supporting FileTransfer protocol can send printer output tophoenix printers, including those atoutstations.

The destination site must be specified as CAGA,and the device name as below:

Syntax: PHPR:outstation(label)or; PHPR(station)

Example: PHPR:CHEMISTRY(CVOUTPUT)PHPR;RECEPTION{P=ABC1)PHPR(ENGINEER)

'outstation' represents a Phoenix routename ofup to 16 characters.'label' represents identifying information ofup to 8 characters. If the first twocharacters of the label are 'P=', they may befollowed by a 4 character Phoenix POSTidentifier, which will be used in sortingoutput.'station' represents a Phoenix routename of upto 3 characters. This form should be used onlywhere there are difficulties in using the fullform.

All output is printed with Phoenix banners, foruserid PHXl. It may be identified by the'label' information, which is included in thebanner. For this reason, the 'PHPR (station)'form should be used only by arrangement withstaff responsible for the destination printer.

The microprocessor advisory service has provedto be both very necessary and very popular - so

<uf< much so that the staff involved have been•• ..oyerwhelmed by the number of enquiries. Toj)g^eSX«^3ke time for the work necessary to deal with

the more substantial enquiries and alsobecause of staff leave during the Eastervacation, it has become necessary to restrictthe hours during which the advisory service isopen to users for a temporary period. For the

•^<^) 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., Monday to Friday

and users are requested to observe these timesboth for visits to Pl4 and for telephoneenquiries on 7-41-623. Users are encouragedto book appointments with reception (7-41-600)for other than trivial enquiries.

We hope that users will respect the above timesas it will make for more efficient use of ourscarce staff resources and will enable thebacklog of substantial enquiries to be cleared.We shall be reviewing the situation in theEaster term with the hope that we will be ableto revert to less restricted advisory hours.

IBM 3081 PERFORMANCE

Hardware Reliability Report

There were no major breakdowns in the periodJanuary to March 1983. The faulty STL disccontroller port mentioned in the last reportwas repaired during January. Towards the endof March some loss of service time was causedby faults in the high-frequency power supplywhich have since been traced to a faulty remotesensing cable.

DOCUMENTATION

Documentation in Phoenix/HVT

The fileowner INFO is used to keepdocumentation material in Phoenix/MVT. Thecommand EXAMINE INFO may be used to obtain alist of file titles which normally give a goodindication of the file contents.

The file INFO.NEW contains recent materialsince thS last update to manuals (fullinformation is in INPO.FULLNEW) and the fileINFO.SOMMARY.NEW contains the titles of thesefiles. This is so that INFO.SUMMARY.NEW may betyped at a console to see whether any newmaterial is available on a particular subject.

The HELP command may also be used to obtaininformation. It is most useful at a Phoenixterminal when interaction with the user ispossible, but it may also be used in jobs.
