| ||
| 19:19 | Renamed $mkos8_opts and obj/mkos8.opts in auto.def to $os8_opts and obj/os8.opts, respectively. check-in: cd80254374 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:11 | Moved the mkos8.opts Python module to pidp8i/os8opts. That left the mkos8 namespace empty, so I removed that. Also removed the old_parse_args() function in os8-run while in there: dead code. check-in: 91c681d0dd user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-23
| ||
| 03:34 | Remove the bespoke --enable-<foo> and --disable-<foo> arguments. Use the generic --enable and --disable arguments. Note that the usage message still informs about all known enable/disable args created in lib/mkos8/opts.py by auto.defs. However the usage message is clearer now and the arg parsing is simpler now. Note we delete the use of the fancy python argparse library. Nice as it was, we don't need it. The clearer usage message is also in the os8-run.md doc. check-in: 0f1c58479b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:14 | Bug fix: Enable/Disable args for fortran should have dash, not underscore in their names to work properly. check-in: e24681d721 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:12 | Bug fix: If we build with config option --os8-minimal, we won't build the os8v3d-patched.rk05 image. We only build os8-v3f from that image. --os8-minimal therefore should not attempt to build os8-v3f. check-in: e14bed0e60 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:59 | Bug-fix: When we use config option --os8-minimal the system image os8v3d-patched.rk05 does not exist. Creating the source packs does not require a patched system anyway, so we use os8v3d-bin.rk05. check-in: afabf0c0e7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:57 | Bug fix: rename of os8_pip_into to os8_pip_to wasn't propagated to this program that used the routine. check-in: 623cab985e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-07-22
| ||
| 22:22 | Improve pal8 command: 1. Allow whitespace between arguments. 2. Fix a bug that caused the (apparently untested) 3 arg form not to work at all. 3. Clarify in the documentation the rationale for the command, and warn of its possible removal. TODO: Possibly expand the command to pass in arguments. check-in: c67efce19c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:34 | Forgot to update the TODO to remove the order to implement restart. It's now implemented. check-in: 1a7abaa401 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:16 | Added restart command and test_restart.mkos8 to test it. Note that test_restart.mkos8 assumes existence of test_copy.tu56 that is made by test_copy.mkos8, and system_v3f_tc08.tu56 made by os8-v3f-tape.mkos8. check-in: a86f9935a6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:31 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #6: convert copy_to and copy_from to cpto and cpfrom respectively. This completes the project to eliminate multi-word commands from os8-run. check-in: 547a96be48 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:06 | Added more clarification around case sensitivity throughout. (Also pruned a note about multi-word mount options that is no longer relevant.) check-in: d4c9e2f654 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-21
| ||
| 04:16 | Improved documentation of mount/umount: 1. Explain the rationale for using the POSIX commands. 2. Clarify how the "new" and "preserve" options behave DIFFERENTLY with regards to file preservation. 3. Add an example of use of the "new" option. 4. Update the mount examples to use the $foo path expansions. check-in: f30b93a62d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:19 | Minor cleanups: 1. The more correct term for how we build is "from distribution media" rather than "source media" because we don't build from source, and because "distribution media" is the correct term used for our baseline truth. 2. Cleaned up broken formatting in the pal8 section's bulleted list, and in the begin/end keyword table. 3. Added a comma in the boot section cuz it called out for one. :-) check-in: 6f606611aa user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:15 | Renamed copy_into and pip_into to copy_to and pip_to respectively. This is because I decided that copy "to/from" made more intuitive sense than copy "into/from". check-in: 08108fae33 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:07 | Fix formatting mistake check-in: 75954717a3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:05 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #5: "read-only" becomes either "ro" or "readonly". check-in: 41ec8eeaef user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:55 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #4: "must-exist" becomes "required." Lots of scripts touched but it was worth it, I think. check-in: fb4201a2c5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:42 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #3: "copy_scratch" becomes "scratch". The meaning is probably clear enough without "copy". check-in: 6a2f3bb5fc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:28 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #2: "not-disabled" becomes "default". Not only does this make the parser cleaner and simpler, the description of what is being done becomes simpler. This is a GOOD change. check-in: 762a5798db user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:03 | Eliminating multi-word hyphenated commands from os8-run #1: "no-overwrite" becomes "preserve". check-in: ac83408912 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-06-02
| ||
| 18:55 | Tiny cleanup: Changed variable "MKOS8" to "OS8RUN". Removed mkos8 program because it has been subsumed by os8-run. Further cleanups of the simh.py and os8script.py libraries will not be backwards compatible with the use made by mkos8. check-in: 61529b46b6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:55 | Taught Makefile.in how to 'make bin/system_v3f_tc08.tu56' Although the v3f stuff is built by default, this tape is not. TODO: 1. Test 'make system_v3f_td12k.tu5' 2. Create auto.defs options for this. check-in: 1858920a4a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:23 | Now assemble the v3f sources. check-in: 321e9254cc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 22:05 | Added code to Makefile.in to create the os8 v3f build rk05 image. TODO: Figure out how to make the image in an object directory instead of the src directory. Problem is with os8-cp and the manifest file actions.txt assuming current working directory. check-in: 0e628cd6fc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:58 | Two short test scripts for testing the copy and patch commands. Note that they have not been converted to the new script location and use of directory expansion. Nevertheless they might be useful to someone. check-in: b118d2fbe5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:49 | Clean up mess made on first attempt to move scripts to new home. Includes a bug fix to Makefile.in where I missed a backslash, and a bug fix to simh.py which would blow out if your branch has upper case characters in it. check-in: 303cb7f12b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 02:49 | Snapshot: Minimum Makefile.in changes needed to replace execution of mkos8 with execution of os8-run. TODO: 1. Put in the dependencies on the new python modules. 2. rip out mkos8. 3. Confirm this all works for someone else. 4. CLEANUPS. check-in: c610c24d5d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:47 | The done command was a mistake and now is gone. I realized it was a mistake when, we executed it in an included script, the scratch files were removed. Rather than creating a per-script scratch list, I moved the final cleanup to the main os8-run code and deleted the done command. check-in: 8b66b4f06b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:36 | In cutting over to using os8-run I realized I needed a mount option that lets the script create a new empty image file and saves a pre-existing version. The "new" option to mount is now implemented. check-in: 26c846c5ce user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|

| 23:36 | Claimed case insensitivity in os8-run commands in os8-run.md. TODO: verify. check-in: 887345ef35 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 23:32 | Moved the paragraph about the fatal error handling policy up from the discussion of "include" in os8-run.md up to the "Conventions" section, then added a link back down into the command reference. check-in: 2c68a31006 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:40 | Fixed a bit of lysdexia, and removed a thousands separator comma: this document may be read by non-USian readers. check-in: f27a09ad1c user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 22:37 | Expanded the new "History and Motivation" section of the os8-run.md file. check-in: 8382aec59c user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 22:27 | Added "Motivation and History" section to the top of doc/os8-run.md, and did some other minor improvements to the rest of the document. check-in: ec8ff7753c user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-05-21
| ||
| 02:31 | Teach call_pal8 to detect failure of PAL-8 to start. TODO: Re-do ALL the calls to os8_send_cmd to shift from looking for a command prompt before beginning a command and then maybe testing the command result (which is currently implemented with os8_send_cmd (prompt_string, command) ) to: Running a command and then testing the result. Yes, this means that pretty much the entirety of the command execution and result testing has been implemented in the wrong order. check-in: 6ce374d437 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:26 | Teach copy_from and copy_into how to recognize when PIP failed to start. Tweak err_test.mkos8 to test that this is working. check-in: fc92e8017b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:20 | Document how the POSIX path expansions are supposed to work. check-in: e2cdb32a96 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-05-18
| ||
| 05:01 | Added path expansion to copy_into and copy_from. Fixed two related bugs: 1. path expand needed to use os.path.join to deal with how dirs.py ends some dirs with a slash, and some not. 2. copy_into and copy_from needed to check to see if the system was booted. (I'd forgotten this requirement, didn't boot the dectape, and could not understand why things were failing.) TODO: Add catching of "PIP.SV NOT FOUND" in copy_into and copy_from. check-in: e927586fb2 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-05-16
| ||
| 13:28 | Simplified [05371feb7c], replacing the redundant map of module variable names to their values with a call to getattr() on the module and variable name in the single place that used this new facility. check-in: 2475d3ad2c user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:00 | Added directory expansion for Anchor directores found in dirs.py.in. This necessitated offering them up in an associative array, as well as directly in dirs.<varname>. TODO: Document this. Add $home. Update .mkos8 files to use these. check-in: 05371feb7c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 03:58 | Ok. Bed time. I'm making stupid mistakes. THIS TIME I fixed the example. check-in: a0393dd43d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:55 | Fixed example to use cdprog instead of absldr. (I thought I'd fixed this one, but it was another example I fixed.) check-in: c317b8d4b2 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:31 | Apparently I never tested the pal8 command when I objectified it. Now it's fixed and working. The scripts that used "fotp" and "absldr" are now tested working. check-in: 04acd3fc64 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:13 | Rename "os8_cd" to "cdprog". Change all occurrances of "fotp" and "absldr" to use "cdprog". TODO: Test. check-in: b2f05b95df user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:44 | Work around a problem with markup: bullet list before a code block formatted both incorrectly. Moving the bullet list after seems to work better. check-in: f552138be1 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:32 | Snapshot: Switching begin absldr and fotp over to os8_cd. Code is there and updated doc with examples is in place. TODO: Update uses of the old "begin fotp" and "begin absldr" constructs to use "begin os8_cd" and then rip out the fotp and absldr sub commands. check-in: fc88854a6a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 01:19 | Added a -vv (very verbose) flag that includes the SIMH expect output in the runtime output. I find that having the separate log file actually works better most of the time. check-in: e7224c448e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:06 | Updated os8-run.md to reflect this weekend's work to make the script runner easier to use. check-in: 5d9fddd5a0 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:44 | The script commands that require the OS/8 context now all check to see we have booted, and if necessary call resume_command to resume OS/8. Use of the resume command in scripts is optional. It's commented out in the two scripts being checked in now. check-in: c0c452a0e6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 18:41 | Apparently when I got os8v3d-bin.mkos8 working, I broke the tco8.mkos8 script. That script is for creating an os8-v3f dectape, so I renamed it and got it working again. TODO: Get os8v3d-bin.mkos8 validated. When I added resume, I turned off the simh command. So any scripts that used that construct are broken. check-in: a7c2b63adf user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 06:59 | Snapshot: Added line number management so that all errors give the line number of the script file. (We keep a stack of line numbers corresponding to the nesting of included files.) Almost done, but it's hours past bed time! check-in: 9b8e035e77 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:44 | Previous commit was an error. I thought I'd completed the commit and then I addeed a bunch of code on an unrelated issue. THIS commit adds the boot checking AND NOTHING ELSE. check-in: 4c351aa5b2 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:28 | boot command checks to see if the device to be booted has something attached. If not, the script dies. Commands that run in an OS/8 context check the state of "booted" and if we have not been booted, the script dies. check-in: e9baca9803 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:59 | Added return status of "success", "fail", or "die" to all script commands. fail doesn't do much now. This is really about the die status. Also return values from routines called in simh.py are inconsistently set (rarely at all). And the return values are currently never tested. check-in: ccf3cc63e3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:41 | Use :os8_send_ctrl to send ^C. Slightly cleaner. check-in: 5d248e2f70 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 23:41 | I thought I tested this way of implementing resume, but apparently not. This fixes the new resume to work the way the previous check-in should have worked. check-in: 24125be341 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 22:51 | Further exploration of what it means to resume OS/8. Comments in simh.py explain the problem: We need to provoke a prompt to re-synchronize with python expect after resuming the stuff that was running under SIMH. There is now a resume command that does the minimum, but it's not as minimal as I would like: It sends ^C, which forces a return to the keyboard monitor if you happen to use it in the following situation: Start an OS/8 program. Escape to SIMH Resume. The ^C will kill the OS/8 program and send you back to the keyboard monitor. This is less disruptive than go 7600, but still not ideal. Just sending newline, or multiple newlines, or erase character or kill line to the OS/8 keyboard monitor after issuing the continue command in SIMH does not work to give you a command prompt. The next revision, I think will touch many routines to do the following: Create a sense of when to abort the whole script. Allow the script runner to keep track of OS/8 context and either blow out when you try to issue an OS/8 command before having booted an image, or to resume OS/8 for you when you use simh commands. check-in: b1e7201347 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:33 | Refine two different options parsing strategies: In current strategy, be clearer on the effect of --enable and --disable args. In an alternate strategy, --enable-foo and --disable-foo become two word arguments. This can be done without changing the actions of auto.def, but DOES require changes to how configure would parse command line arguments. check-in: 1dc45457c5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:58 | Fixed argument parsing in mkos8 that I broke when I was experimenting with and evolving the ideas of how to pass in new options. Now instead of -o --option, mkos8 responds to --enable and --disable To set open ended enablement and disablement options that are not defined elsewhere. check-in: 025010d6f3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:01 | os8-run now does patching and with os8v3d-patch.mkos8 reproduces full functionality of mkos8 patch. Additional command, "copy" added to take the os8v3d-bin.rk05 image and copy it into a new file os8-v3d-patched.rk05.

| 03:55 | The script runner now has the "Set INIT message" functionality: 1. We don't create INIT.CM with the editor. Instead we copy it in just as we do with INIT.TX. 2. os8script.py now has script interfaces to the simh.py routines: copy_into -> os8_pip_into copy_from -> os8_pip_from 3. os8v3d-bin.mkos8 is updated. Booting the resulting rk05 image DOES run the INIT.CM script properly. TODO: 1. Figure out an interface in the script runner for the functionality of: "create a bootable dectape copy from the read-only distribution tape." 2. Implement the believed-to-be-straightforward exercise of enabling patches. 3. Figure out an interface/convention for the root of relative paths when the script runner runs. (dirs.os8mi equivalent) 4.

Additional os8script methods have been added: configure_command which is an interface to the simh change commands and which allows on-the-fly setting of options. unset_option_command that allows unsetting of an option. I want the configure command so I can get rid of the "simh" command. I don't want to allow full scripting of simh. But I might be wrong here. I want to ability to set options inside scripts because the tdrom config is a variation on td12k, and I can set a common sub-option for the common bits now. TODO: test mkos8 system with the new library. TODO: Change the "change_" interface because we are repeating the describe code. We should "set" options rather than "change from x to y".

| 05:22 | Ok, this is a bit gross. tc08.mkos8 now understands the td12k option, but it was a pain to get there. I had to create a simh command because we needed to disable dt and enable td. This also runs BUILD on os8v3d-patched.rk05 to switch from TC08 to TD8E drivers. It is very gross, but it does clean up after itself. (If it makes it all the way through.) This exploration has let me to believe that we might very well want to craft this as python code to, "Switch SIMH from DT to TD" and "Switch SIMH from RX01 to RX02".

| 05:17 | Snapshot: NOT WORKING! Code drafted to do att and det commands in simh. copy actions designed but not implemented. NOTHING TESTED. (Also moved some constants to the globals section of the file.) check-in: 0522ee40e2 user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:18 | Used python dict idiom to shorten parse of mode options code. check-in: 796dadce18 user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |

| 07:01 | Had to turn parse_args back into a subroutine, because the new parse_action_file overrode the action_plan being created. Pulled back in some of the old main because I'll reuse that code when I implement the copying. Shifted some of the globals from the middle of the file to the section labeled for globals. BTW: The override by --action-file is because parse_args did two passes: 1. read names and glob them. 2. turn globbed names into actions. The action file is all actions. We override because that way I don't have to write code to figure out how to do a partial second pass of what's already been parsed from the command line when we hit the --action-file argument. Icky, but... check-in: f3702ec3c4 user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |
| 05:09 | Merged trunk improvements check-in: cfe9f76381 user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:54 | Renamed os8-cp --tc to --dt, properly reflecting the SIMH device name. I see why it was called --tc, but it was incorrect to map it to SIMH device name "TC" (no such thing) and it's confusing to those of us who know the SIMH device names. Better to just remain consistent throughout. check-in: 7b2a875a1b user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:52 | Many improvements to the os8-cp USAGE message, especially in the area of media image options. check-in: be30dc52a4 user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:24 | Removed some functions now unused since the command line parser redesign. check-in: 0d55a92b7e user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:23 | Moved most of the program comments explaining the behavior of os8-cp into the USAGE message. check-in: 4e116e66c2 user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 03:17 | Replaced main() in os8-cp — which was almost completely commented-out from its prior form — with parse_args(), since all that was left of main() was a call to that function. check-in: 9cc31248aa user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 02:58 | Minor tweaks to previous check-in: 174829cb05 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:56 | Better explanation of the reason for the change to SIMH throttle stabilization and a better link to the GitHub issue thread explaining the backstory. check-in: f32224cc98 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:40 | Added paragraph to the "Throttle Stabilization" section of README-throttle.md warning about upgrading an existing boot script setup. check-in: 73bb7661e3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:35 | Switched tools/bosi from the macOS rmtrash command to trash, which behaves better on multi-volume systems. check-in: 93ad7eeaf5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:34 | Added named anchors to README-throttle.md section heads check-in: e336b70fc4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 09:46 | Added examples/fpptst.ft to demonstrate the generation of FPP12 instructions in OS/8 FORTRAN IV assembly (RALF) output even though the FPP feature of SIMH's PDP-8 simulator is not enabled by default in the PiDP-8/I stock simulator init scripts. check-in: bc13bb069b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 09:36 | Merged SIMH upstream again, this time finally fixing upstream issue #508, which I'm now going to close. check-in: 3278b60481 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:43 | General command line utility to read from and write to OS/8 media using PIP. Currently supports .tu56 and .rk05. TODO: 1. Investigate adding a sacrificial extra character for file send to OS/8 in binary modes. 2. Detection of OS/8 Device full. 3. Support for copyin and copyout of the system area with PIP /Y check-in: 5d7366cdd5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |
| 03:37 | Adds two functions: os8_send_pip and os8_fetch_pip More general interface for both storage into and retrieval from OS/8 media. Used by a new program bin/os8-pipio check-in: 7285ef619d user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |

| 21:03 | Merged in an upstream SIMH improvement to the throttle stabilization code which avoids recalibrating the throttle timers on re-entering the simulation either due to Ctrl-E/cont at the terminal keyboard or CONT/START on the PiDP-8/I front panel. It simply continues using the values it determined before the simulation was stopped; it will still recalibrate itself periodically, it just doesn't start over from zero. check-in: cac1e79178 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 12:58 | Overriding the default SIMH throttle settle time in the boot/*.script files, and documented what we know about all this in README-throttle.md. check-in: d08dd32180 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:40 | Merged SIMH updates into trunk check-in: 2281fbe3f1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:39 | Updated SIMH to upstream checkin ID 52aebb23. No PDP-8 specific changes, but it appears to have fixed the keyboard delay problem. Closed-Leaf check-in: 1cd9da6804 user: tangent tags: simh-update | |
| 11:27 | Restored upstream SIMH commit ID b2b18de in preparation for doing a simh-update run. Mark Pizzolato claims that the upstream master branch has this bug fixed, and we don't want this backout appearing in our diffs relative to upstream. check-in: ad6e607aa0 user: tangent tags: simh-update | |
| 11:13 | Declaring the argument types of ire0() in examples/pep001-ire0.c to fix complaints from the new CC8. check-in: c70e7a7cb4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
