Product Information¶

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
	SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022Q,R,S

If a terminal different from device 300 is to be used as console device, one may set the T-register on level 15 (dec.) to any legal terminal device number (310, 320 etc.) prior to typing 156Q&. The text IF HERE TYPE ANY CHARACTER will then be printed on both device 300 and on the 'alternative' console device. The first device that sends a character to the computer will be taken as console device.

If the discette contains only one :BPUN file and the X-register on level 15 (dec.) is different from 0, this file will be automatically loaded without entering the floppy monitor.

The following program stops are defined (last instruction was WAIT)

WAIT 77 : not possible to read bootstrap from floppy (hardware err)

WAIT 0 : always when PLACE-FILE command is used (legal wait)

Any other error situation will give an error message. If the error occurs after the loading of a program has started, an error message will be given and the floppy monitor will be reloaded.

CHANGES¶

If the discette contains only one :BPUN file and the X-register on level 15 (dec.) is different from 0, this file will be automatically loaded without entering the floppy monitor.

Carriage Return may now be entered as default for console device in the LIST-FILE command.

The monitor now accepts lower case characters on input.

Certain error conditions will now give error messages in stead of going into WAIT.

The PLACE-FILE command will type the message 'PLACED' when the place is finished.

The floppy monitor will automatically be reloaded if an error occurred during loading of a program.

The necessary code has been added to be able to support the floppy-disc DMA controller.

ERRORS CORRECTED¶

Corrected abbreviation uplook routine.

Sometimes if the file name specified would be ambiguous, one of the programs would still be loaded. This is corrected.

A more complete description of MCOPY and how to use it is given on the next pages. In the examples, user input is underlined.

1. DESCRIPTION OF MCOPY¶

MCOPY means Mag-tape - Disk Copy.

Page 13¶

NORSK DATA A/S NORD SOFTWARE LIBRARY¶

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
	SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022R,S
	(MCOPY-TANB)

1.1 Purpose of the program¶

MCOPY is a program for backup of disks to tape. It can be used to copy one or more directories from disk to tape, or from tape to disk. It can also compare one or more directories on disk and tape. MCOPY runs under the Test-program Monitor. (But it is not a test program!)

1.2 Necessary equipment¶

The current version of MCOPY (MCOPY-TANB-1649J) may be used with the following equipment:

Computers: ND-10, ND-10/S, ND-100
Disk drives: 10 MB (Hawk), 30/60/90 MB (Phoenix), 33/66/38/75/160/288 MB
Tape drives: Tandberg, Pertec, STC

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
	SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022R,S
	(MCOPY-TANB)

1.5. General Information¶

The main commands of the program are:

COPY-TO-MAG-TAPE
used to copy from disk to tape
COPY-FROM-MAG-TAPE
used to copy from tape to disk
COMPARE-DISK-TAPE
used to compare disk and tape

The commands:

SINTRAN-BLOCK-SIZE
1600-BPI
SYSTEM-COPY
AUTOMATIC-COMPARE

are used to turn on/off (set/reset) special features (modes) of the program, i.e. each time one of these commands is given, the relevant feature is either turned on or off, depending on what state it was in previously.

The commands:

SET-MAG-TAPE-DEVICE-NUMBER
SET-DISK-TYPE

are used to change the values of mag-tape device number or disk type.

Several of the MCOPY commands expect numbers as parameters. When the numbers are asked for, the program also indicates the range of legal values, and the radix (decimal or octal), e.g.:

DISK UNIT (DECIMAL, 0-3) : 1

MAG-TAPE DEVICE NUMBER (OCTAL, 520-530) : 530

1.6. How to copy/compare one or more directories¶

One or more directories may be copied from disk to tape by giving the command:

COPY-TO-MAG-TAPE

One or more directories may be copied from tape to disk by giving the command:

COPY-FROM-MAG-TAPE

Page 15¶

NORSK DATA A/S¶

NORD SOFTWARE LIBRARY¶

PRODUCT¶

NAME	ND-NUMBER
SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022R,S
(MCOPY-TANB)

One or more directories may be compared by giving the command:

>COMPARE-DISK-TAPE

After each of these commands the user is asked a number of questions, some of them dependent on disk type, whether system copy is turned on etc.

If disk type has not been given previously, the user is asked about disk type. The disk type is given by standard Sintran disk names, e.g.

DISK NAME: DISC-75MB-1
For some of the disk types (38/75/288/30/60/90 MB) the user is then asked about old or new directory size:

DIRECTORIES CREATED BY SINTRAN VERSION E OR LATER ARE A FEW PAGES SMALLER THAN THOSE CREATED BY VERSIONS A, B, C, D. DO YOU WANT THE NEW SIZE (VERSION E OR LATER) OR THE OLD SIZE (VERSION D OR EARLIER)? PLEASE ANSWER OLD OR NEW: NEW
The user is then asked about disk unit number:

DISK UNIT (DECIMAL, 0-3): 0
If the disk type is one with multiple directories on the same unit (i.e. 10 MB, 30/60/90 MB, 2-75 MB, 3-75 MB) the user is then asked for:

a) If system copy is turned on: Number of directories to copy, e.g.:

NUMBER OF DIRECTORIES (DECIMAL, 1-2): 2

b) If system copy is not turned on: Which directory to copy, i.e. removable or fixed for 10 MB and 30/60/90 MB, which subunit for disks with more than one subunit (60/90 MB, 2-75 MB, 3-75 MB), e.g.:

REMOVABLE OR FIXED: FIXED

SUBUNIT (DECIMAL, 0-2): 1

Page 16¶

NORSK DATA A/S NORD SOFTWARE LIBRARY¶

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
.	SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022R,S
	(MCOPY-TANB)

5) The user is then asked about mag-tape unit, e.g.:

MAG-TAPE UNIT (DECIMAL, 0-3): 0

If the disk type is one with multiple directories on the same unit, and system copy is turned off, the program then asks for file number on tape, e.g.:

MAG-TAPE FILE NUMBER (DECIMAL, 0-99): 2

The intention of this is that the user should be able to copy multiple directories to tape, and then be able to select one specific directory to be copied back to disk.

6) Finally, before starting any copy/compare operation, the user is asked:

OK? YES

and if the answer is YES, the copy/compare operation is started.

1.7 How to change disk type and mag-tape device number¶

When one of the copy/compare commands is given, the program checks if disk type has already been given (i.e. in connection with an earlier copy/compare operation). If the disk type has been given, the program will continue to use this disk type until it is explicitly changed by using the command SET-DISK-TYPE, e.g.:

SET-DISK-TYPE
DISK NAME: DISC-2-75MB-1

When the program is started, it assumes that the mag-tape drive is connected to mag-tape controller 1, device number 520 octal. This may be changed by giving the command SET-MAG-TAPE-DEVICE-NUMBER, e.g.:

SET-MAG-TAPE-DEVICE-NUMBER
MAG-TAPE DEVICE NUMBER (OCTAL, 520-530): 530

Mag-tape drives connected to mag-tape controller 2 have device number 530 octal.

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
	SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022R,S
	(MCOPY-TANB)

1.8 How to change various modes of the program¶

The program has some commands which act like an on/off switch, i.e. each time such a command is given, the relevant feature (mode) of the program is either turned off or on, depending on what state it was in previously. When such a command is given, the command will answer whether the relevant feature is turned off or on, e.g.:

SYSTEM-COPY
SYSTEM COPY TURNED ON

SYSTEM-COPY
SYSTEM COPY TURNED OFF

1.8.1 Automatic compare¶

When the program is started, automatic compare is turned on, meaning that after each copy operation the program will automatically do a compare. When copying directories occupying multiple reels of tape (e.g. a 75 MB directory on 1600 BPI), the program will compare each reel of tape after it has been copied, thus avoiding the trouble of having to mount each reel of tape twice. The automatic compare may be turned off by giving the command AUTOMATIC-COMPARE, e.g.:

AUTOMATIC-COMPARE
AUTOMATIC COMPARE TURNED OFF

1.8.2 System copy¶

With disk types having multiple directories on the same unit, it is possible to copy/compare multiple directories. This feature is turned on by giving the command SYSTEM-COPY, e.g.:

SYSTEM-COPY
SYSTEM COPY TURNED ON

System copy is initially turned off.

1.8.3 1600 BPI¶

The STC mag-tape drive may record data on tape in either 1600 BPI or 6250 BPI mode. It is initially set in 6250 BPI mode, but this may be changed by giving the command 1600-BPI, e.g.:

Page 18¶

NORSK DATA A/S NORD SOFTWARE LIBRARY¶

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
	SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	10022R,S
	(MCOPY-TANB)

1600-BPI
1600 BPI TURNED ON

Recording the data in 1600 BPI mode makes it possible to read the tape on the Pertec mag-tape drive.

1.8.4 Sintran block size¶

The record size on tape is usually greater than 1K (1024) 16-bit words (i.e., greater than one page), in order to utilize the tape efficiently. Using the command SINTRAN-BLOCK-SIZE makes it possible to produce tape records which are exactly one page each. The intention of this command is that the user should be able to copy from tape to disk while Sintran is running, using the Sintran command @COPY-DEVICE. Sintran block size is initially turned off.

Note that it is not possible to copy back directories occupying more than one reel of tape with the @COPY-DEVICE command. Note also that using a record size of one page leads to inefficient utilization of the tape, and makes the copy/compare operation slower. Therefore, Sintran block size should only be used if absolutely necessary. Example of use:

SINTRAN-BLOCK-SIZE
SINTRAN BLOCK SIZE TURNED ON

Errors corrected:¶

The program did not work correctly with certain disk and mag-tape configurations. This is corrected.

Various minor errors corrected.

Changes made, new features:¶

The program may now be used with the subdivided 150 and 288 Mb disks, i.e. DISC-2-75MB-1, DISC-3-75MB-2, etc.

The program now runs under the TEST-MONITOR version 2441D.

Disks are now named by standard Sintran names, e.g. DISC-75MB-1
DISC-90MB-2
With the 60/90 Mb Phoenix disks, and the subdivided 150 and 288 Mb disks, the user must now indicate subunit number (the usual way, used in Sintran), instead of surface number (which was used in previous versions of this program).

When the program is started, it will ask for disk type. If another disk type is wanted, the command
SET-DISK-TYPE
may be used. The command SET-DISK-DEVICE-NUMBER no longer exists.

For some of the disk types, the program will ask for old or new directory size. This is due to the fact that directory sizes in Sintran version E or later are a few pages smaller than earlier versions.

Page 20¶

NORSK DATA A/S - NORD SOFTWARE LIBRARY¶

PRODUCT NAME¶

PRODUCT	NAME	ND-NUMBER
SINTRAN UTILITY PROGRAMS	(MCOPY-TANB)	10022R,S

Commands requiring numeric parameters will now specify what kind of number (decimal or octal) is expected, and the legal range for this number. User input is checked against these specifications.

Instead of the program asking whether the user wanted system copy or not, there is now a command called SYSTEM-COPY which will turn system copy on or off.

The first file on tape is now file number 0, instead of number 1. Similarly, the tape numbers now start from 0 instead of from 1.

Earlier versions of the program always did compare after copy. This is now possible to turn off, by using the command AUTOMATIC-COMPARE. Note that it is still recommended to do compare after copy!

When copying directories occupying multiple reels of tape, each tape reel will be rewound and compared before the next tape reel is mounted (unless compare is turned off).

The command earlier called SET-1600-BPI is now called 1600-BPI.

The command earlier called SET-SINTRAN-BLOCK-SIZE is now called SINTRAN-BLOCK-SIZE.

The reason for the change is that these commands may now turn on or off (set or reset) the relevant mode. In fact, the four commands mentioned below all work like this: The relevant feature or mode is alternately turned on or off (set or reset) each time the command is given:

AUTOMATIC-COMPARE
SYSTEM-COPY
1600-BPI
SINTRAN-BLOCK-SIZE

PURPOSE¶

Produce binary files with bootstrap from a "Recover-file". Specially fit for use in making all your subsystems REENTRANT.

LOADING/OPERATING PROCEDURE, USE

If you have SINTRAN with REENTRANT-SUBSYSTEMS do:

@ COPY "DITAP:BPUN" T-R
@ DUMP-REENTRANT ↰ DITAP ↰ 70 ↰ 70 ↰ DITAP

If you have SINTRAN version 7.6.0, 615 or older do:

@ PLACE T-R
@ DUMP "DITAP-1880B" 70 70

Then for both SINTRAN with reentrant subsystems and the older versions:

@ DITAP
Destination file: <filename> default type is BPUN. You can use the signs ( , ), ", " in addition to the file name.

SOURCE FILE: <filename> default type is PROG. You can use the signs ( , ), in addition to the file name.

The "PROG-file" will be converted to a "BPUN-file" with BOOTSTRAP and checksum and placed on the destination file. Then this destination file can be used as a reentrant subsystem or only be saved on ")BPUN" format.

CHANGES¶

The F version did not copy the last cylinders of the 37 and 75 MB disks.

The G version copies the entire disks. The possibility to do only compare between the mag-tape and disk is added.

The printout at tape shift now prints the tape no. The tape-unit specified is now tested if it is ON-LINE, if not a message is printed and the question is asked again.
