SIXPRT - SIXBIT TO ASCII CONVERSION PROGRAM VER.1.0.1 6/27/72
SIXPRT ALLOWS FOR :
-DUMPS OF SIXBIT FILES IN ASCII
-NORMAL SIXBIT TO ASCII CONVERSION
-MERGING AND CONCATENATION OF SIXBIT FILES
INTO SINGLE ASCII FILE
-INTERACTIVE TRANSLATION OF SIXBIT FILES
(INDIVIDUAL RECORD WINDOWS WITIN RECORDS
READING FILES BACKWARDS)
-TRANSLATION OF MULTIPLE SINGLE REEL VARIABLE
BUFFER OR FIXED BUFFER MAGTAPES
File selection:
---- ---------
OUTPUT/S=INPUT/S (+ OR ,) INPUT/S (+ OR ,) ... (+ OR ,) INPUT/S
Where files seperated by , are processed in parallel
files seperated by + are processed in sequence
OUTPUT or INPUT is in DEV:NAME.EXT[P,PN] format
Switches:
Universal switches:
/H - Type this text
/N - Turn off HEADERS
/O - Turn on HEADERS
/I - Interactive record translation
Input file switches: (# represents a decimal number)
/#L - Label record of # words
/L - Single record label
/#B - Buffers of # words (MTA only)
/V - Variable length buffers (MTA only)
/#M=MAP - MAP with blocks of # words (512 is
default). Map specification is optional
(a TMP file will be generated). Map
device should be a disk.
Interactive record selection:
----------- ------ ---------
SIXPRT types [NEXT/START.FINISH/START.FINISH/.../STATUS]:
Where NEXT is the next record to be processed
START.FINISH are character positions for windows
STATUS is /N if HEADERS are off
Respond with:
FIRST,LAST,INCREMENT/START.FINISH/.../STATUS
Where FIRST is the first record to be processed
LAST is the last record to be processed
INCREMENT indicates how many records to skip
START.FINISH are window character positions
STATUS may be /N to turn off HEADERS
/O to turn on HEADERS
/H to type this text
/E TO EXIT TO COMMAND LEVEL
If FIRST and LAST are entered as signed numbers they are
considered as offsets on NEXT as typed by SIXPRT
If INCREMENT is negative the file will be read BACKWARDS
To clear current window specification type a new
specification or /N or /O (note: incorrect specifications
will be retained)
A word about MAPS
- ---- ----- ---
SIXPRT permits the user to examine a file under control of a
previously created MAP. Therefore all TMP files created by
SIXPRT should be deleted or renamed since SIXPRT will
attempt to position the next file with a /M with the default
MAP. However, SIXPRT will type a warning if the file name,
file extension and creation date of a file being read under
the default map do not match those of the file orignially
mapped.
