- RECORD controls the disk output facility of the redirectable I/O drivers.
- Copies of Console and Printer outputs can be created in disk files by the use
- of this facility. Use it to access either the local disk system (such as the
- I/O Recorder package by Joe Wright) or a remote computer running T3SERVER (as
- described in the TERM3 documentation).

- a. For RECORD to operate, it must be implemented in the redirectable I/O
- drivers.
-
- b. RECORD is indirectly tied into DEVICE. To begin recording output onto
- disk files, 1) RECORD has to turn the appropriate Driver on, and 2)
- DEVICE has to select the appropriate Driver. Turning RECORD OFF during
- a recording session, closes the output file and makes it available for
- other uses. If RECORD is later turned ON, the output file may be deleted
- (if the same file is selected to record into). However, if a new device
- is selected while RECORD is ON (say, DEVICE CON:=CRT is issued), then
- recording is suspended (not turned off) until the recording device is
- selected again. With this capability, if it looks like a recording
- session is not going well, recording can be suspended, the problem
- fixed, and then recording can be resumed.

- c. Vs 3.1 updates (12/23/90, Bruce Morgen):
- - Type 4 version supporting command line quiet mode, Z-System Quiet
- Flag, Program Error Flag set if a recording IOP is not loaded, etc.
- - Incorrect terms replaced by standard device names -- "CRT" now "CON:,"
- "TTY" now "LST:."
- - A quiet query mode (RECORD [/]Q) implemented to check for the presence
- of a recording IOP without starting or stopping recording.
- - The directory for CONSOLE.FIL or PRINTER.FIL can now be selected with
- the DU: or DIR: form, although older versions of IOREC will only honor
- this for the first RECORD ON [P[RINTER]] execution.
