Tops-20 has a subtly different architecture, in part perhaps
reflective of the previously described 'bolt on'.<br>
<br>
The closest thing to <tt>NETACP</tt> is <tt>NMLT20</tt>, which
implments <tt>NCU</tt>. Parts of that are in written <tt>BLISS</tt>
and at one point, it had a shared a partly common code base with
some RSX/VAX stuff. Interfacing to Galaxy (the Tops-10/Tops-20
Operator Interface and Queuing system), <tt>NMLT20</tt> was <i>notorious</i>
for crashing in early (Phase III) releases. I wrote many SPR's...<br>
<br>
I can't define objects. <tt>FAL</tt> itself puts up the <tt>FAL</tt>
object and speaks <tt>DAP</tt> over it. Communication with it is
either over a DECnet <tt>FAL</tt> object (via <tt>DAP</tt>) or
with Tops-20 IPCF. The only messages that gets are (the largely
useless) logging messages from inferior <tt>FAL</tt> processes and
checkpoint messages from <tt>Quasar</tt>, the queue manager. It
doesn't process any other messages from Galaxy, so it doesn't seem
that it would know how to swallow anything that <tt>NMLT20</tt>
might hand off.<br>
<br>
I can define the following:<br>
<blockquote><tt>CIRCUIT</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>EXECUTOR</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>KNOWN</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>LINE</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>LOGGING</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>MODULE</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>NODE</tt><br>
</blockquote>
I'll see what I turn up when I finish polishing off that pesky DAP
bug (after I finish the VIKING OCR).<br>
<br>
Lots for you to look forward when you get back into it, eh? <span
