ND-10337F — Backup-System, version F¶
Status: STUB — no PD sheet, procedure inferred by pattern, NOT verified · Install source: [INF]
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Part number | 10337F (as printed on the floppy volume label) |
| Base product | ND-10337 |
| Version | F |
| Release date | unknown |
| CPU target | ND-100 (assumed, consistent with sibling versions) |
| OS requirement | unknown |
Description¶
A later revision than B, but no PD or PI sheet has been located for F specifically. Unlike
B (ships as a :BPUN file needing a separate @DUMP-REENTRANT step) and I04/I05 (ship as a
:PROG installer with a 3-question dialogue), F ships as a single already-linked :PROG
file with no installer program at all — the simplest of the three shapes seen for this product.

Installation procedure — INFERRED, NOT CONFIRMED¶
No install text exists on this floppy to read (there is no :MODE script and no PD sheet). The
following is inferred by pattern from the two sibling versions and should be treated as a
starting point to verify live, not a confirmed procedure:
- Enter the floppy directory and copy
BACKUP-F00:PROGto the user where you want the program to live (mirroring B's "copy to the user where you keep your files" step):@ENTER-DIRECTORY ND-10337F,FLOPPY-DISK-1,0 @COPY-FILE "BACKUP-F00:PROG" (ND-10337F:FLOPPY-USER)BACKUP-SYSTEM:PROG - Dump it reentrant so it is shared/callable by name, using
DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT(the:PROG-file form, since this file is already linked — notDUMP-REENTRANT, which is for raw:BPUNbinaries like version B). This mirrors the I04/I05 installer's own final action (@DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT BACKUP-SYSTEM-I, (UTILITY)BACKUP-SYS-I02:PROG):@DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANT BACKUP-SYSTEM-F,(BPUN-FILES)BACKUP-SYSTEM:PROG - Persist across a cold start by appending the
DUMP-PROGRAM-REENTRANTline to theDUMP-REENTRANT:MODEfile called fromHENT-MODE, per the generic pattern in ../../INSTALL-METHODOLOGY.md §4 step 5 and ../../../OS/SINTRAN-BOOT-AND-MODE-FILES-GUIDE.md §12.
Do not treat the above as verified. It has not been run, and no source document confirms the exact command names/addresses for this specific revision.
Configuration / post-install¶
Unknown — inferred to be none beyond the reentrant dump, consistent with the rest of this product's version history.
Documentation¶
- PD-sheet: not located
- PI-sheet: not located for this version (a later, general PI sheet exists under
ND-210337) - Manual(s): presumed
ND-60.151.xxSINTRAN III Utilities Manual, unconfirmed for this version - NDWIKI: not checked yet
Provenance & open items¶
- Source: floppy directory listing only.
- TODO (blocking): mount
ND-10337Fand confirm whetherBACKUP-F00:PROGneeds any companion install steps not visible from the directory listing (e.g. an embedded self-install routine) before trusting the inferred procedure above. - TODO: this install has not been run live in the emulator.
