Description

Same bundle shape as ND-210177J02 — compiler domain, runtime library, ISAM add-on — but this disk carries no :MODE install script, and adds a pair of :NEW/:OLD files per library that J02 doesn't have.

Confirmed by downloading the image (MD5 6a774ca2eac376a4a060d5a375d6ad2c) and reading with ndtool -t.

The :NEW/:OLD pair is not understood. No :MODE script references them, and nothing read so far explains their purpose. Given the name, a plausible guess is a before/after pair for a binary patch or version-migration step — but this is a guess, not a finding, and is not used in the procedure below.

Installation procedure — ADAPTED FROM J02, NOT CONFIRMED FOR K01

No install script exists on this specific disk. The safest starting point is J02's real, decoded procedure (see ../ND-210177J02/README.md), substituting K01's file names — but note K01 has no IS-MULTI-K00:MODE on this disk either (only IS-MULTI-K00:NRF + its :NEW/:OLD pair), so the shared-segment setup step may need to be carried over from a J02 install (if the IS-MULTI-K00 domain is already resident) or reconstructed by hand:

@ENTER-DIRECTORY 210177K01-XX-01D,FLOPPY-DISC-1,0,
@ND-500-MONITOR
N500: LINKAGE-LOADER
NLL: SET-DOMAIN "COBOL-85-K01"
NLL: SET-SEGMENT-NUMBER 21D
NLL: OPEN-SEGMENT "COBOL-85-K01",WCP
NLL: TOTAL-SEGMENT-LOAD COBOL-85-LIB-K01
NLL: TOTAL-SEGMENT-LOAD EXCEPT-LIB
NLL: CLOSE-SEGMENT 21D
NLL: END-DOMAIN
(hand-derived from J02's COBOL-LIB-J02:MODE shape, with the IS-MULTI common-segment attachment omitted since this disk has no script defining it — not verified, and likely incomplete if the multiuser ISAM facility is actually needed.)

Do not treat the above as verified.

Configuration / post-install

Provenance & open items

  • Source: floppy directory listing via ndtool -t on the downloaded image.
  • TODO (blocking): find or reconstruct the real install script for this version — the procedure above is adapted from a different version's script, not this one's.
  • TODO: determine the purpose of the :NEW/:OLD file pairs.
  • TODO: this install has not been run live in the emulator.
