1 Backup_Notes
 Usage notes on BACKUP:

  (1) Use BACKUP/PHYSICAL for duplicating RX02's and TU58's.

  (2) Copy BACKUP tapes using COPY, but when mounting such tapes
      use /BLOCKSIZE=8464 on the MOUNT command.

  (3) Recreate Standalone Backup's after each system update.

2 Standalone
 The following instances of Standalone Backup appear on the
 Accelerator Control System disks:

  (1) On both Development System disk (see the
      On_System_Disk subtopic) in [SYSE.SYSEXE].

  (2) On VAXSYSTEMS RL02 in [SYSEXE].

  (3) On KITS RM03 in [SYSEXE].

  (4) On two pairs of RX01's.  One pair is kept inside VAX1 CPU.
      The other (spare) pair is in the file cabinet in my office.

3 On_System_Disk
 To place a copy of Standalone Backup on the system disk, do:

   $ CREATE/DIRECTORY  SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYSE.SYSEXE]
   $@SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT  SYS$SYSDEVICE:  [SYSE.SYSEXE]

 To prepare a BCKBOO.CMD boot command file on the console media
 to bootstrap this Standalone Backup, do:

   $ MCR FLX /RS=CS1:DEFBOO.CMD/RT
     Edit the line "DEPOSIT R5 0" to read "DEPOSIT R5 E0000000".
   $ RENAME  DEFBOO.CMD  BCKBOO.CMD
   $ MCR FLX CS1:/RT=BCKBOO.CMD

 To boot Standalone Backup from the (default) system disk, do:

   >>>BOOT BCK

1 BRU
 The RSX-11M/M+ Backup and Restore Utility (BRU) is sort of
 useable on the VAX.  See FERMIHELP BRU for notes on its usage
 on the VAX.  Note that even BRU.TSK can be made to run on the
 VAX by following these rules.

 BRU apparently cannot handle multi-volume tape sets on a single
 tape drive.  It requests the next tape but never resumes its
 operation (just hangs indefinitely).
1 Disk_Formatting
 Disks may be reformatted with the EVRAC diagnostics program.
 This note contains descriptions for reformatting RM03 disk packs
 and RX02 floppies.  The floppies may be formatted as either
 SINGLE or DOUBLE density.
2 RM03
 The Diagnostic Supervisor must be run (can be done under VMS).
 The configuration must be setup and then EVRAC may be run under
 the Diagnostic Supervisor.  The series of commands for formatting
 an RM03 disk pack using drive unit "n" on the first Massbus is:

   $ SET DEFAULT SYS$MAINTENANCE:
   $ RUN ESSAA
   DS>ATTACH  RH780  SBI  RH0  8  5
   DS>ATTACH  RM03   RH0  DRAn
   DS>SELECT  DRAn
   DS>RUN EVRAC/SECTION:FORMAT

 and then answer the prompts.  To use the second Massbus, the two
 ATTACH commands are modified (and the SELECT command specifies
 the particular drive to be used):

   DS>ATTACH  RH780  SBI  RH1  9  5
   DS>ATTACH  RM03   RH1  DRBn

 Note that if the program is run several times, START can be used
 after the initial RUN:

   DS>START/SECTION:name

2 RM80
 The Diagnostic Supervisor must be run (can be done under VMS).
 The configuration must be setup and then EVRGA may be run under
 the Diagnostic Supervisor.  The series of commands for formatting
 an RM80 disk using drive unit "n" on the first Massbus is:

   $ SET DEFAULT SYS$MAINTENANCE:
   $ RUN ESSAA
   DS>ATTACH  RH780  SBI  RH0  8  5
   DS>ATTACH  RM80   RH0  DRAn
   DS>SELECT  DRAn
   DS>RUN EVRGA/SECTION:FORMAT

 and then answer the prompts.  To use the second Massbus, the two
 ATTACH commands are modified (and the SELECT command specifies
 the particular drive to be used):

   DS>ATTACH  RH780  SBI  RH1  9  5
   DS>ATTACH  RM80   RH1  DRBn

 The entire bad sector and skip sector files are displayed by
 the RUN command:

   DS>RUN EVRGA/SECTION:READALL

 which also reads the complete disk.  Note that if the program
 is run several times, START can be used after the initial RUN:

   DS>START/SECTION:name

2 RX02
 The Diagnostic Supervisor must be run (can be done under VMS).
 The configuration must be setup and then EVRAC may be run under
 the Diagnostic Supervisor.  The series of commands for formatting
 an RX02 floppy disk using drive "n" is:

   $ SET DEFAULT SYS$MAINTENANCE:
   $ RUN ESSAA
   DS>ATTACH  DW780  SBI  DW0  3  4
   DS>ATTACH  RX211  DW0  DYA  777170  264  5
   DS>ATTACH  RX02  DYA  DYAn
   DS>SELECT  DYAn
   DS>RUN EVRAC/SECTION:FORMAT

 and then answer the prompts.  In particular one question will ask
 whether you want SINGLE or DOUBLE density floppies.

 Note that if the program is run several times, START can be used
 after the initial RUN:

   DS>START/SECTION:name

1 EDT
 These notes on EDT were taken from articles in the DEC Professional:

   "EDT Extended With an Initializer File", David Spencer, Vol. 1 No. 3
       continued into Vol. 2 No. 1
   "Advanced EDT - Part 3", Jeffery Gold, Vol. 2 No. 3

2 Logical_names
 EDT uses the EDTINI logical name to locate the initializer file and
 the EDTHELP logical name to locate the help library.  The default
 definitions are:

	EDTINI = SYS$DISK:EDTINI.EDT
	EDTHELP = SYS$HELP:EDTHELP.HLB

2 Keypad_Numbering
 Each key on the keypad and the keyboard is assigned a number.  When
 adding of modifying the help text for a key, you must specify its
 number.  The complete number scheme is:

	00 - 21	  keypad (see EDT Manual, Chapter 10).
	22 - 43	  GOLD keypad
	44 - 74	  CTRL < Null A-Z [ ] ' / >
	75 -200	  GOLD < ASCII character set >

 For example, CTRL/A is recognized by EDT as key 45, CTRL/B as key 46,
 GOLD-CTRL/A as key 76 and GOLD-A as key 136.

 EDT V3.0 will not translate certain characters in the 75-200 range
 into their key codes.  These include the numbers (0-9) and lower
 case (a-z) characters.
2 Keypad_Help
 If you are in keypad help mode and hit CTRL/A, EDT will internally
 generate a search for the text "KEYPAD VT100 45" where 45 is the
 key number.  However, keypad help mode will not search for any key
 value above 74.  Therefore the GOLD-ASCII keys can either be placed
 in a separate module or you might document "GOLD-char" with the
 corresponding "CTRL-char" key.
