A LETTER TO ALL TIP USERS
Dear TIP Users,
You will shortly be sent a revised version of the "TIP User's
Guide." Besides now having a loose leaf format, mainly descriptions
of new commands have been added. Appendix B will be an alphabetical
list of all TIP commands. The new commands are:
@BINARY INPUT START
@BINARY INPUT END
@BINARY OUTPUT START
@BINARY OUTPUT END
@CLEAR DEVICE WILD
@CLEAR INSERT LINEFEED
@INSERT LINEFEED
@SEND COMMAND
@RECEIVE FROM WILD
@SEND TO WILD
@SET DEVICE WILD
@MAG ABORT
@MAG BACKSPACE FILE
@MAG BACKSPACE RECORD
@MAG READ FILE
@MAG READ RECORD
@MAG SETUP COPY
@MAG SPACE FILE
@MAG SPACE RECORD
@MAG UNLOAD
@MAG WRITE EOF
@MAG WRITE TAPE
The MAG commands are, of course, not relevant to users of TIPs without
the magnetic tape option.
A TIP system including the above commands has been in operation
since late June. We think this system is a substantial improvement
over previous versions.
