• Updated DECnet/E patch to EVTLOG

    From Tony Nicholson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 10 15:36:15 2021
    Are there any other RSTS/E people still here?

    Today (11-Nov-2021 my time) a new update for DECnet/E V4.1's
    Event Logger is available - courtesy of Paul Koning.

    "There were two errors triggered by the fact that, as of
    10-Nov-2021 the Julian-half-day value has the top bit set,
    making it look negative to PDP-11s. One was in the conversion
    from RSTS internal format to Julian-half-day, triggering an
    '%integer error' message.

    The other was in decoding such Julian-half-day values when
    displaying events -- doing an ASR to convert half days to whole
    days is not a good idea..."

    You can get updates for RSTS/E V10.1 from GitHub via my
    RSTS-E updates page at

    https://github.com/agn453/RSTS-E

    and from Paul Koning's at

    (or on HECnet at node DINGO:: (35.619) in the default
    DECnet directory - no username and password required).

    Yes, although my primary interest these days is RSX. But there's no such group, so...

    It's wonderful that people are keeping these classic systems alive.
