[HECnet] BLISS question

[Hans Vlems]

Tim,

I have three pdf files:

- BLISS for C programmers - this comes from the Freeware cd's

- VAX-11 BLISS-32 User's Guide 

- BLISS reference manual

All three together, zip-ed are 14.6 MB, I can mail them if you like.

 

Thanks for solving the starlet riddle!

 

Hans

I'm cleaning up the attic and found a primer on BLISS as well as
a BLISS reference manual.
It's been a long time (1980-ish) since I'd last seen it and I wanted
to refresh (well, actually update) my knowledge of that language.

Now the primer refers to TUTIO.R32, which I found on a VAX.
However I want to play with it on an Alpha (runs cooler than the VAX).
After installing the BLISS kit that is on the freeware CD's there
still was no STARLET.L32 (nor STARLET.L64) file in SYS$LIBRARY.
TUTIO.R32 refers to STARLET.L32 so how do I get it?

 

You can to the right place, there are not many of us (BLISS programmers)
left. 

 

TUTIO.R32 might not be anywhere in the kits.  I'm pretty sure I have it
floating around (I'll go have a look).  As for creating the libraries, you
can use:

 

$ BLISS/LIBRARY=SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.REQ

$ BLISS/LIBRARY=SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] SYS$LIBRARY:LIB.REQ

 

That will give you the 32-bit stuff.  For the 64-bit, you need to add in the
right qualifier.  For Alpha it is BLISS/A64 and for Itanium it is BLISS/I64.

 

Incidentally, if you ever decide you don't want those BLISS manuals, you are
more than welcome to send them my way.  I have a small collection of
manuals, books and internal DEC training material on this stuff.  I'm hoping
to get most of it on-line real soon now (http://bliss-lang.org when it is
eventually done...).

 

Regards, Tim.
