This directory contains the MP macro processor  necessary  to
    pre-process some of the JPL macro programs supplied elsewhere
    on tape. The sources of this program are not supplied because
    they  are  proprietary.  If you expect to depend on a program
    supplied here and don't trust the objects of  this  expander,
    then go from the expanders output. However, I have not had to
    go  back  to sources in a few years and I don't expect DEC to
    screw up object librarys such that an  imcompatibility  would
    develop. Documentation is in `mp.l'.

              To build: tkb @mp.bld

    Note  that  the  macro  library  used  with this processor is
    subject to change at any time. In fact some of  the  programs
    supplied  with this processor need to be updated to the newer
    macro library. In particular the PRINTF statement changed  in
    a recent update.

    Also  in this directory are mp macros for doing block i/o and
    some  sprintf  (see  conroy's  C  compiler  runtime   system)
    functions  without  the  overhead  of  the  entire  C runtime
    system. I use this when  I  need  to  write  privel'd  tasks.
    Mpm.mac  is  a  runtime intercepter like those found in the C
    system except it does not redirect stdio.  With  this  I  can
    write  a  priv'd  task which does fcs I/O and has a formatted
    print routine (nicer than decs edit which has opcodes  I  can
    never remember) in a couple k of code. (Most of all, I prefer
    using my own language and I can get away with it).

    An  indenter  written  in  BASIC-11  is  included  along with
    MPM.lst which has been run though it. 

    TTy  is  a  program  to  display   on   the   ti:   all   the
    characteristics  of either ti: (default) or some terminal. It
    is useful in that it shows how one can use the expander to do
    all the hard work. It is also one of the few programs of this
    nature I have found on the  tapes  which  displays  control-s
    status and the current type-ahead count. 

    
Usage:  tty #
		where # is octal terminal number
		and defaults to ti:



The .s programs are from Conroy's runtime system.
