 188 
 189 
 190 Multics Release 12.6f (MR12.6f) is a complete release and assumes
 191 the prior installation of MR12.5.  That is, the library tapes are
 192 self-supporting and  do not require any other  information to run
 193 Multics.
 194 
 195 
 196 This  release installs  all system  changes included  in releases
 197 MR12.6a,   MR12.6b,   MR12.6c,   MR12.6d,   and   MR12.6e.    The
 198 installation  of  MR12.6f  does   not  require  the  installation
 199 instructions for any previous release.
 200 
 201 
 202 This  document  includes  descriptions  of  features  included in
 203 Multics Release MR12.6f.
 204 
 205 
 206 A  separate document,  Software Installation  Bulletin (SIB),  is
 207 supplied with the release tapes.   The SIB describes the contents
 208 of the release tapes and  includes procedures for installation of
 209 MR12.6f.
 210 
 211 
 212 Additional  documentation,  including  a  list  of  bugs fixed in
 213 MR12.6f, is provided with the  release tapes, either as printable
 214 segments on the tape (in a special directory >doc>MR12.6f), or as
 215 paper copy.
 216 
 217 
 218 Software releases prior to MR12.6f  are no longer supported.  All
 219 sites  running pre-MR12.6f  software are  strongly encouraged  to
 220 upgrade to MR12.6f as soon as possible.
 221

 306 This section contains a brief summary of the most important items
 307 in  this  release.   Refer  to  Section  3  for  a  more detailed
 308 description.
 309 
 310 A brief description of known tickets addressed in this release is

 313 
 314 INPUT HISTORY
 315 
 316      A  new input_history_ I/O  module was added  to bound_video_
 317      that allows recall and execution of previous input lines, as
 318      well as searching for prior  input lines.  The Multics video
 319      system  provides functions for  editing input lines  as they
 320      are typed.   It uses Emacs-like  key bindings to  edit input
 321      lines.   However,  it  provides   no  mechanism  for  saving
 322      previous input lines, recalling those lines, and reexecuting
 323      them.  The  new input history functionality  does just that.
 324      See input_history.info and input_history_.info for details.
 325 
 326 
 327 CALL
 328 
 329      A new call command invokes a subroutine with arguments given
 330      in a command line.  It  uses the declared entrypoint calling
 331      sequence to convert each command argument to a corresponding
 332      subroutine  parameter's data  type; invokes  the subroutine;
 333      then displays any output values.
 334 
 335 
 336 LIBRARY PATHNAME
 337 
 338      The  library_pathname  (lpn)   command/active  function  was
 339      updated to return all matching  pathnames when invoked as an
 340      active function.  This command/AF was also updated to accept
 341      the -container control argument.

 347 
 348 
 349 CV PTR
 350 
 351      The  cv_ptr_ subroutine  was updated  to handle  pointers to
 352      hardcore segments.
 353 
 354 
 355 POINTER INFO
 356 
 357      The  pointer_info  (pin)  command  was  added  to  provide a
 358      command-line interface to the interpret_ptr_ subroutine.
 359 
 360 
 361 NEW TERMINAL TYPES
 362 
 363      Added the VT102_132C_50L and VT102_132C_78L terminal types.

 424 NEW COMMANDS
 425 
 426 A- 1. [MCR10013]
 427       Added  the   input_history  (ih)  command   for  recalling,
 428       searching for, and reexecuting  input lines.  This facility
 429       can be used  for both command lines entered  to the command
 430       processor, as well as input  lines used by subsystems, such
 431       as forum and read_mail.
 432 
 433 A- 2. [MCR10014]
 434       Added  the new call  command for invoking  subroutines from
 435       the  command processor.  This  command either looks  up, or
 436       allows   specification   of    the   entrypoint   parameter
 437       declarations,  and allows  the user  to pass  in values for
 438       these  parameters.   Output  parameters  are  formatted and
 439       displayed to the user.
 440 
 441 A- 3. [MCR10031]
 442       The  pointer_info  (pin)  command  was  added  to provide a
 443       command-line interface to the interpret_ptr_ subroutine.
 444 
 445 
 446 EMACS
 447 
 448 A- 1. [MCR10015]
 449       The  emacs make-wall-chart  command was  fixed to  properly
 450       display years in the 21st century.

 464 
 465 PASCAL RUNTIME
 466 
 467 B- 1. [MCR10025]
 468       Fixed  pascal_operators_$return_zero  to  work  with MR12.5
 469       command_processor_          changes.          Specifically,
 470       command_processor_  was changed  to create  arguments lists
 471       that included the command name  at the tail of the argument
 472       list,   and    a   flag   to   indicate    this   addition.
 473       pascal_operators_$return_zero was not  updated in MR12.5 to
 474       handle  this flag.   A similar  issue with  cu_$arg_ptr was
 475       also fixed.
 476 
 477 
 478 CROSSREF COMMAND
 479 
 480 C- 1. [MCR10022]
 481       crossref was incorrectly formatting some synonym references
 482       (SEE:) causing pcref to fail  to locate some entries.  This
 483       is now fixed.
 484 
 485 
 486 4-CHARACTER TIME ZONE SUPPORT
 487 
 488 D- 1. [MCR10023]
 489       When a prior MR1.26x release provided fixes for 4-character
 490       time zone  support, one file was  missed -- pl1_version.cds
 491       because pcref/crossref  do not include CDS  segments in the
 492       cross reference.   This release includes  a pl1_version.cds
 493       that correctly  declares time zones as  char(4) rather than
 494       char(3).
 495 
 496 
 497 PL/1 COMPILER
 498 
 499 E- 1. [MCR10029]
 500       Fixed issue with PL/1 compiler's code generation for string
 501       concatenation.   A bug was  introduced in the  MR12.5 (33e)
 502       compiler that caused incorrect code to be generated in some
 503       cases.   This  is  now  fixed  in  the  33f  version of the
 504       compiler.
 505 
 506 
 507 PROBE
 508 
 509 F- 1. [MCR10035]
 510       Probe's format_pointer_ subourtine was enhanced to allow it
 511       to display meaningful values for many more pointer targets.

 523 COMMANDS
 524 
 525 G- 1. [MCR10034]
 526       The  library_pathname  (lpn)  command/active  function  was
 527       updated to return all matching pathnames when invoked as an
 528       active  function.   This  command/AF  was  also  updated to
 529       accept the -container control argument.

 532 SUBROUTINES
 533 
 534 H- 1. [MCR10030]
 535       The  interpret_ptr_  was  updated  to  fix incorrect return
 536       values.
 537 
 538 H- 2. [MCR10036]
 539       The  cv_ptr_ subroutine was  updated to handle  pointers to
 540       hardcore segments.

 542 
 543 INCLUDE FILES
 544 
 545 I- 1. [MCR10016]

 547       the MIF indicator register.
 548 
 549 I- 2. [MCR10021]
 550       A typo  in a pad  field resulted in  incorrect alignment in
 551       the      kst_attributes      structure      defined      in
 552       kst_attributes.incl.pl1.    Any  user  code   that  invokes
 553       phcs_$set_kst_attributes    or    hphcs_$set_kst_attributes
 554       should be recompiled.

 603 CHANGES FROM PRIOR MR12.6X RELEASES
 604 
 605 N- 1. [MCR10000]
 606       Updated  load_fnp  to  load  older  and  newer images since
 607       existing images were older than 5 years old.
 608 
 609 N- 2. [MCR10001]
 610       Updated  to warn,  not crash,  on startup  if clock appears
 611       fast or slow, due to emulator speed inconsistencies.
 612 
 613 N- 3. [MCR10002]
 614       Update  ALM to  fix buffer  overrun error  when long source
 615       pathnames are assembled.  This is ticket #89.
 616 
 617 N- 4. [MCR10003]
 618       Fix encode_date_time_ and decode_date_time_  as well as all
 619       callers of these functions  to handle 4-character time zone
 620       abbrevs (as these  are already valid as far  as hardcore is
 621       concerned).
 622 
 623 N- 5. [MCR10004]
 624       Add  dummy trace_error_halt_   to bound_trace_.   There are
 625       external references  to this non-existent  segment (addname
 626       on bound_trace_) which  prevent check_mst from successfully
 627       checking MSTs.
 628 
 629 N- 6. [MCR10005]
 630       Fix  history_comment to  use 4-digit  years and  be able to
 631       handle current  date/times when there are  existing history
 632       comments  without thinking  that the  new ones  are in  the
 633       past.
 634 
 635 
 636 DRAFT:  MAY BE CHANGED         3-4          03/01/17     SRB12.6f^L
 637 
 638 
 639 
 640 N- 7. [MCR10006]
 641       Fixed    acct_start_up.ec    to    give    w    access   to
 642       >sc1>syserr_logs>**  and >sc1>as_logs>** to  *.SysAdmin and
 643       to  set up IACLS  on these directories  so that future  log
 644       segments    have    the    required    access    to   allow
 645       move_log_segments to work.
 646 
 647 N- 8. [MCR10007]
 648       Fix  lib_fetch_ to  terminate segments  initiated by  it so
 649       that KST doesn't overflow when fetching a lot of segments.
 650 
 651 N- 9. [MCR10008]
 652       Reorder argument  processing code in map355 so  as to check
 653       options  after they  are scanned.   This prevents  argument
 654       processing   from   mis-constructing   segment   names  and
 655       generating incorrect error messages.
 656 
 657 N-10. [MCR10009]
 658       Fix  remaining references  to en/declode_clock_value_  that
 659       were  not updated  in MCR10003   for the  4-char time  zone
 660       parameters.
 661 
 662 N-11. [MCR10010]
 663       Fix   acquire_resource   and   register_resource   to   not
 664       incorrectly  format error message  when no resource  of the
 665       specified type is available.
 666 
 667 N-12. [MCR10011]
 668       Fix  issue that  caused queueing  up of  a large  number of
 669       segments  for printing  to run   out of  KST entries.   The
 670       actual  bug is  in object_lib_.pl1,  not dprint.   Fixed to
 671       terminate segments initated by object_lib_.
 672 
 673 N-13. [MCR10012]
 674       Some of  the source archives installed from  the ACTC tapes
 675       are damaged  such that Multics tools do  not recognize them
 676       as being archives (while others do).  These include:
 677 
 678       >ldd>unb>s>bound_basic_runtime_.s.archive
 679       >ldd>unb>s>bound_bft_.s.archive

 770 KST_ATTRIBUTES.INCL.PL1
 771 
 772 A- 1. [MCR 10021]
 773       To fix incorrect alignment  in the kst_attributes structure
 774       defined in kst_attributes.incl.pl1 caused  by a typo in the
 775       number  of  bits  for  a  padding  field,  the  padding was
 776       corrected.   This results  in a  slight change  in how this
 777       structure is  aligned.  Any programs that  use this include
 778       file  should  be  recompiled.   It  is  unlikely  that such
 779       programs exist  because this include  file is only  used by
 780       the phcs_$set_kst_attributes  and phpcs_$set_kst_attributes
 781       privileged entrypoints.
