FEP software as of 25:11:80 - using new versions of ITPS,RJES,EAMH and the 2 segment version of the buffer manager, BUFF3. Points to note are:- EAM7 Has 'built in' fep number and AM1 address because KENT use early version of load program. RJES8 Modified to 'down' devices that are not available because the remote is u/s. NB does not effect handling of busy devices except the open is only repeated every 10 seconds instead of 2. ITPS8 The queueing of buffers is done in BSPS to gain throughput, however ITPS is told when each buffer is acknowledged so that BGs buffer control code should still work - not easy to test at KENT. Note for SEB's benefit - a frigged version of ITPS to stop students logging on in room S.01 is in file ITPS8XXS01. RING4S Does not take special action when the 'ring down' bit in the interface comes up, except to throw away output transfers. THe idea is for BSPS to survive a ring reset. BSP4S Timeout period has been extended to 2 to 4 secs so that it should recover after a ring reset - has not been tested on a busy system. NSIWS Default VLP file is now on drive 1. NAMES Task for handling requests to the ring name server. See NAMEDOCLP.
