XGP-11 code
So I had a look for the code that ran in the XGP-11 (I wanted to see what it could tell me about the PDP-11<->XGP interface), but I could not find it. SYSTEM; has the code for the TV-11, and the code that ran in MC's 11's and the AI Chaos-11, but despite searching for a while, the XGP-11 code never turned up. Any idea where it is? (The XGP spooler is missing too.) Jnc (talk) 02:45, 11 September 2023 (CEST)
- Sure, it's readily available, but there are a few copies around with various names. I believe the most up to date version is (now; on GitHub) SYSEN2; XGP 32 (which has a recent update from version 31). For some reason STUFF defaults the binary file to SYSBIN; VXGP BIN, but eh, close enough.
- Spooling documents is done with SYSEN2; XQUEUE, binary name SYS; TS XGP. XGPDEV is the XGP: device which lists documents in the queue. Taking things out of the queue is SYSEN2; XGPSPL.
