This submission contains three corrections/updates to previous submissions to the VAX tape. 1) ASK.MAR is a utility to "inquire" for an answer from a command procedure and timeout if there is no reply within some time frame. It is on the Fall 82 VAX tape. There is a comment that this is very useful for booting the system (if no operator is present, optional features will default in). However, you need to add the line $ASSIGN OPA0: SYS$COMMAND to SYSTARTUP so the ASK knows where the answer is coming from... Hopefully this will lessen the number of calls from people getting invalid I/O messages. 2) USS.MAR is an example of a user written system service submitted on the Fall 83 VAX tape. It is used to read the microsecond clock. Unfortunately the version copied out to tape was not the version I was using; there is one small error. The DIFFTIME routine should save all the registers it uses in the entry mask. There haven't been any questions about this one yet, but my face is red anyway. 3) SNOBOL was submitted on the Fall 82 VAX tape. The source for the macros on the tape was accidentally truncated, however, so people wishing to modify and reassemble had a problem. The full source for the SNOBOL interpreter is included in this submission. Librarian's note: Note that items 1 and 2 are comments regarding the Fall 1984 tape - ASK.MAR and USS.MAR are not repeated on this tape.
