Examine RDR Files


 

Whatever am I doing wrong (or missing) here?? I want to be able to browse the contents of these files.

Your virtual card target at address 00C is set to a class other than * or M.

CP SPOOL RDR CL *

and then repeat the READ command.

They are probably Monitor files as they are Class M not sure readcard can read them¡­.

.. but your reader needs to be class M¡­

?

Spool rdr class m

From a previous post¡­..

Hi Peter,

it took me some time, but eventually I found the MONSTATS program from the 1985 Waterloo Tape at this website:?

It takes it's input directly from the reader and prints a nice report of the data collected by the MONITOR command.
Thanks again for pointing me to Waterloo Tapes.

Regards

Ralf?

Oh, of course, monitor files!? Yeah, READCARD won't read those.? You need a program that uses DIAG14 to read them instead.

I was able to retrieve MONSTATS and it does indeed do the trick.

Thanks!


 

how does one list and retrieve contents from the workshop tapes?
