Library Notes

While restoring these CSL releases, one of the goals was to make all files normal MPE files. All files are to be unsquished or unpressed. Some HP3000 users may not be aware of how to do that. Besides, the SQUISHER program as provided in each release seems to have expired and will not run.

Another goal was to retain the original file's create, modified, and accessed dates.

File dates: Create, Modified, Accessed

The file dates (Create, Modified, Accessed) of all files in the STDs are the original dates.
RESTORE on the HP3000-III simulator restores the dates with the ;OLDDATE option.
STORE on MPE/iX sets the Modified and Accessed dates of IMAGE root files to today's date. For NMSTORE, this change is before its written to the tape. For ;TRANSPORT mode, the change is after the file is written to the tape.
RESTORE on MPE/iX sets the file's Modified date to today.

IMAGE ROOT FILE

One issue found concerns IMAGE files. The older IMAGE files can be accessed by the HP3000-III simulator just fine, and likely pre-MPE-IV. But on MPE/iX, the databases need to be converted with DBCONV.PUB.SYS. This conversion has been done in the MPE/iX STD file; with the file dates preserved.

VIEW3000 / VPLUS

The following note on VPLUS formfile versions was taken from the HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS) Reference Manual, Appendix H Version Control.
VPLUS has created only MPE files since VPLUS version A.01.01. Prior to A.01.01, VPLUS created KSAM files. Any KSAM file created by VPLUS before version A.01.01 will continue to function when accessed through FORMSPEC, REFSPEC, ENTRY or your applications without any actions on your part. If, however, you wish to modify the forms file using FORMSPEC or REFSPEC, the file must be converted using the CONVERT utility, as described below.
This conversion has been done in the MPE/iX STD file; with the file dates preserved.

Transfer to HP3000 notes

When transfering the STD files to an HP3000 with FTP, use binary mode. 
  ftp>put CSL7STD  CSL7STD ;rec=128,,F,BINARY;CODE=STORE
  ftp>put CSL8STDV CSL8STDV;rec=128,,F,BINARY;CODE=2501
With Reflection or Minisoft, use Binary transfer to a Fixed 256-byte record.
For MPE/iX, maintain the file code STORE or 2501.
For MPEV, I have choosen to use 2504 for CMSTORE.
For SIMH, I have choosen to use 2508 for SIMSTORE.

On MPE/iX, you can restore from the STD file. 
  :comment                   File Equate T to tape file
  :FILE T=MPEIXSTD,DEV=DISC
  :comment                   Verify the STORE file/tape
  :VSTORE *T;@.@.@;SHOW
  :comment                   Restore files
  :RESTORE *T;@.@.@;OLDDATE,KEEP,SHOW
On MPEV, as of this posting, there is not a restore from Disc files.
Therefore you must create a tape using Tapecopy; then restore from tape. 
  :comment                   File Equate T to tape file
  :FILE T;DEV=TAPE (however your tape is identified)
  :comment                   create STORE tape
  :STORE *T,MPEVSTD;SHOW
  :comment                   Now place tape back online
  :comment                   optionally Verify the STORE tape
  :VALIDATE
  :comment  Followed by VALIDATE responses
  :comment                   Now place tape back online
  :comment                   Restore files
  :RESTORE *T;@.@.@;OLDDATE,KEEP,SHOW
For SIMH, place the SIMSTD into your simh folder and make appropriate renames and/or assignments for simh to access the file as a tape; then access the tape with MPEV methods.
