It's not like it is that long, I will probably end up typing it in.<br>

This is mostly for Tim and Paul, but I figured to cross-post in case any<br>
one might have seen this before (before I lob thy Holy Hand Grenade).<br>

1. In cleaning up some of my old paperwork, I stumbled across a fanfold<br>
. paper copy of "RSTS/E System Programmer's Notebook" page 3 (no 1-2)<br>
. followed by Chapters 1-5 and Appendix A, B pages 1-5. The bottom of<br>
. the Preface reads:<br>
.<br>
. "What follows is a sermon, it is not a Gospel."<br>
.<br>
. A section on the first page of Appendix A has a paragraph that says:<br>
.<br>
. CAUTION<br>
. The PPEK sequences described in this (sic. I presume PEEK)<br>
. document are not a part of the supported<br>
. functionality of RSTS/E V6C as described<br>
. in the RSTS/E Software Product Description.<br>
.<br>
Has anyone seen/read this before, know who wrote it, have a digital copy<br>
that could be distributed out, or am I destined to type it back in so all<br>
can read (it is good material on old yellowed crackly fanfold paper)???<br>

That doesn't ring bells, and I don't seem to have that document in my files. I was part of RSTS/E development at that time, so if it came from there I might have seen it but let it slip my memory.<br>
<br>
Could you scan a few pages, perhaps the first few and a couple of pages of that appendix, so I can see more of the context? Just a simple photograph is probably good enough if you don't have a scanner.<br>
<br>
Typing it all in is hard work (I've done it for un-OCR-able listings, 300 pages). If the listing is clean, a scan plus OCR will cut the effort very considerably. Or just a scan, since scans are perfectly readable for humans. OCR is only necessary if it's code that you want to be able to compile/assemble or other kinds of data that need to be processed by some program. Not too long ago I sent an old listing of "BTSS" (RSTS v0) to another person on this list, who scanned it very skillfully. In other words, those capabilities are around.<br>

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't have answers on your other two questions.<br>
