ND-10511 — Exception Handling System

Status: IN-PROGRESS — real floppy decoded, file inventory confirms the EXCEPT-LIB identity; no install script found

Field Value
ND article number ND-10511
Product name Exception Handling System
Functional category Language Tools (runtime support library)
Related products Confirmed as the source of EXCEPT-LIB, a library already referenced (but unsourced until now) in ND-211224B01's ND LINKER install notes.

What is known — real floppy, decoded

Floppy ND-10511A00 (downloaded via NDwiki, imaged by Torfinn "Tingo" Ingolfsen) mounts cleanly and contains exactly two files:

(FLOPPY-USER)EXCEPTION-LIB-A:NRF   21432 bytes  11 pages   1983-05-03
(FLOPPY-USER)EXCEPTION-TPS-A:NRF   21513 bytes  11 pages   1983-05-03

Both are :NRF (relocatable object) modules — a runtime library, not an application. No DESCRIPTION-FILE, no :MODE/:BATC/:XCOM install script, no installer :PROG — this is a bare pair of link-time library modules, meant to be COPY-DOMAIN'd or linked into another product's build the same way the ND LINKER install notes assumed. EXCEPTION-LIB-A matches the suspected EXCEPT-LIB name closely enough (same "exception" root, same era) to treat the identification as confirmed rather than merely likely.

No PD sheet, no PI sheet located for this article number — this entry rests entirely on the decoded floppy.

Provenance

Real floppy image, downloaded via NDwiki and decoded in this session (ndfs -t/ndtool -x). No install procedure exists on the floppy to transcribe — two bare :NRF files is the entire contents.
