THE DECNET-11M PHASE 2 PRODUCT SUPPORTS SYSTEM DOWN-LINE LOADING
TO REMOTE PROCESSORS IN A VERY LIMITED MANNER.  SPECIFICALLY, ONLY ONE FILE
(THE SYSTEM IMAGE) IN ONE UIC ON ONE DEVICE ON THE HOST SYSTEM CAN BE
DOWN LINE LOADED INTO A GIVEN REMOTE SYSTEM.  WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED DOWN-
LINE LOAD BY FILENAME FOR THE DECNET-11M PHASE 2 PRODUCT.
 
	TYPICALLY, THE OPERATOR AT A REMOTE STATION INITIATES A SPECIAL
ROM BOOTSTRAP WHICH PROMPTS FOR FILENAME INPUT ON THE CONSOLE DEVICE.
THIS FILENAME IS THEN INCORPORATED INTO THE SOFTWARE ID FIELD OF A
MOP BOOT MESSAGE WHICH IS SENT TO THE HOST SYSTEM FOR INTERPRETATION
AND EXECUTION.
 
	THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE DISTRIBUTED DECNET V2 SOFTWARE AT
SOURCE LEVEL ARE AS FOLLOWS:
 
	1.  MODIFICATIONS TO THE SUBMODULE 'LDLOAD' IN THE MAIN MODULE
	    'LDLOAD.MAC'.  THIS MODULE IS ASSEMBLED AND INCORPORATED
	    INTO THE LIBRARY 'NICTOP.OLB' AND IS USED IN BUILDING THE
	    'NICE' PROCESSOR.
 
	2.  MODIFICATIONS TO THE TERTIARY BOOTSTRAP 'TERBOT.MAC' TO
	    PREVENT LOOPING ON 'FILE NOT FOUND'.  THE ASSEMBLED MODULE
	    IS INCORPORATED INTO THE LIBRARY 'BOOTS.OLB'.
 
	3.  MODIFICATIONS TO THE BOOTSTRAP DRIVER 'DLVDRV.MAC' (OPTIONAL)
	    TO IMPLEMENT LOADING OVER 20 MA. LINES.  THE ASSEMBLED MODULE
	    IS INCORPORATED INTO THE LIBRARY 'BOOTS.OLB'.
 
	4.  A SPECIFIC PROTOCOL FOR GENERATING THE 'NICE' DATABASE DURING
	    NETGEN.
