Ow.? You're insulting my silicon friend.? It's sadly deserved.

The LCM+L IBM VM/SP environment has been crashing ~ daily due to machine checks since it was moved to a new host running Suse. I suspect the LCM+L production Hercules environment needs a new build with different options and/or a different compiler (clang) and/or something.

(Oddly enough, the test VM/SP environment here at the Secret Lab seems more reliable, but that could simply be it's less loaded.? It is?on a Raspberry Pi and is built with platform-specific options.)

When the LCM+L IBM VM/SP environment is not responsive,?ping me via email.? (I'm gonna regret that!)

-ahd-

p.s. My standard disclaimer: I do not?work for the LCM+L, and I do?not?speak for them.


 

Since previous messages on the topic, oddly enough, VM/SP 5 at LCM+L ( tty.livingcomputers.org:24 ) has now been up 23 days continously.? (I hope I don't jinx it).

I am now checking it daily at the beginning of the (West coast) day.

-ahd-


 

Is it possible to get access to this system?

Please and?thank you.

Guest access is available. Just connect a 3270 session to?tty.livingcomputers.org:24 and logon with one of the 6 guest accounts.

I don't know about access to a regular personal virtual machines.

What are the 6 accounts and password?

toggle quoted message
GUEST, GUEST1 to GUEST5, same password = GUEST.

It is actually mentioned on the logo page of the system. Make the connection and see for yourself. :-)

Hello,

Thank you :)

I'm wondering about the macro libraries for assembly language programs.? Specifically, I was looking at the RX* ASSEMBLE Y2 files and noticed several macros (but I can't find the library / library source code).

I fill like I'm back at the first days of my college courses.? LOL and sigh!

If you are looking at code through one of the recent VMF* execs, then you need to look in the EXEC for GLOBAL MACLIB, to identify which maclibs to search.

If you are just looking at the code, then from CMS run QUERY MACLIB to see which macro libraries are currently in effect.

Also, you can use the command: SCAN fn|* ft|* fm|*

SCAN * MACLIB *
and look for such 'words' as R12, or EQU, or MACRO. Granted, a lot of stuff will show up, but hopefully, it will put you on the right track.

Finally, be aware there are MACLIBs which contain source, or macros and are only used for a particular application/language, such as ASSIST.

I Hope This Helps.

Noe on the LCM+L machine:?

LISTFILE * MACLIB *?
MACLIST name

Will show you all the accessed MACLIBs on the system,? and then MACLIST name will give you a FILELIST-like directory of the members of the specified MACLIB.


 

The RX* ASSEMBLE files are the source for a REXX function package from SAS Institute contributed during the VM/SP era on various Waterloo/VMSHARE tape sets.?

There were various versions available. I used a version, I got from SAS, in the VMCE 1.1.2 release. I only used the parts I needed, but the sources on VMCE are on MAINT disk 5E7.
I later saw these files on the museum VM/SP system, but I could not find the MACLIB needed to assemble them on VM/SP.

I never matched the two versions, to see if they were at the same level, but the runtime versions on VMCE were built from the source on VMCE.

If someone sorts out what is where (sources to load from) and what should be on the LCM+L VM/SP system, I can talk to people.
?
These are the RX* files public on the LCM+L Y disk.? Note that not all packages are live, for example TCP/IP is not installed (no network adapter) and so RXSOCKET is not useful.
