Subject: Bug fix in pal.c cross assembler

Nils M. Holm <fs29@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de> has reported a small bug
in my PAL cross assembler written in C.  The FTPable version has been
fixed.  You can get it from:

  ftp.cs.uiowa.edu:/pub/jones/pdp8/pal.c.Z

and it's indexed in my www page for the PDP-8:

  http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/pdp8/

Here are the details of the change, as provided by Nils Holm:

 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
file pal.c, function onepass():
887     if (line[lexstart] == '*') {
888             int newlc;
889             nextlex(); /* skip * (set origin symbol) */
890             newlc = getexpr() & 07777;
891             if ((newlc & 07600) != (lc & 07600)) { /* we changed pages */
                                             ^^^^^
892                     putcp();
893             }
894             lc = newlc - reloc;
896             if (rimflag != 1) { /* put out origin if not in rim mode */
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The leading zero at the second 07600 was missing what caused the condition
to to become true in some cases where it shouldn't.  The line numbers may
vary a little, because these are from Nils's version, and he made some other
changes for his own purposes.

Dear Compuserve Postmaster:

This mail was sent to the PDP8-LOVERS mailing list, a list dedicated to 
discussion of old computer hardware.  Needless to say, a message offering 
incense for sale is wildly inappropriate on such a mailing list.

I suspect you've gotten mail from other people as well as me, as this post 
has all the markings of an advertizing 'spam'.

Please take whatever action is your standard action when you discover someone 
abusing Internet mail access.

Thank you,

This has been hashed over thoroughly on PDP8-LOVERS, but...
Assuming no one else is doing anything about trying to gateway alt.sys.pdp8
to PDP8-LOVERS (and vice versa), there's a chance I may be able to do it,
assuming no objections from anyone in either group (or the admins at the
site where my machine is hooked up).  If it is OK, does anyone know of a
free program to do the gateway, such as the one used between vmsnet.pdp-11
and INFO-PDP11?  I'm happy to write my own but not if there's no need.

Subject: PC program to read DECmate floppies

Hello,

	Does anyone know of a IBM PC program that can read (and maybe 
write) OS8 format RX50 floppies (5 1/4 inch)? I think this would be a 
very useful way to move data and programs between a PC and DECmate, but
I do not want to reinvent the wheel...

	Does anyone have any hardware documentation (particularly the
print set) for a DECmate III and/or DECmate III PLUS? I would greatly 
appreciate a copy.

Lee Nichols

I've been working on a program which used to be able to read OS/8 RX50s,
but I've changed a zillion things and haven't had a chance to test the OS/8
code lately so it may have broken.  If you'd like to play with it, it's
available via anonymous FTP from TATS.WIZVAX.COM, pub/putr/*.  It includes
a DOS executable and TASM source.  I never tried to write OS/8 disks because
all the info I have on them is either reverse-engineered or comes from
looking at DIRECT.PA (once I'd reverse-engineered enough to read that file
off the dist.!), but I've been meaning to add it.  The program already knows
how to write RT-11 disks and a lot of the logic will be the same.  As I say
though, no guarantees, and it's definitely flakey with OS/8 8" disk images
(I haven't tried it with real 8" disks but theoretically it should work).
Let me know of any successes or failures and I'd be happy to put some more
work into the program...

Hi, my name is Steve and I am engineer still working in the Aerospace 
Business.  I have been working on drawing flow charts of PDP-11 assembly 
code as part of a re-engineering task.  I heard that there might be a 
Utility available that can generate flowcharts directly from the source 
code.  If anyone has information on such a Utility, I would appreciate 
any information on how I may locate it.
