[Confirm]y -Shutting down...Bye! -$ - -ITS uses DEL for erasing characters. ITS defaults to dumb hardcopy -terminal settings. This is a pain so you want to configure ITS to -use something nicer. ITS knows about VT52. If you are using xterm -from XFree86 you can get into VT52 mode by running a script like this: - -#! /bin/sh - -awk 'END {printf "%c[?2l", 27}' </dev/null - -From ITS run -:tctyp vt52 - -On your VT52 mode terminal emulator. - -An alternative is that you can use vt100 mode via the CRTSTY program -which is a bit like window(1) in that you end up on something like a -pty but only one full screen window is available and it does terminal -emulation on it. You will be automatically logged in a second time on -the same terminal as a crufty side-effect. - -:crtsty vt100 speed 9600 - -Run :info and look at the introductory information about the -filesystem. I did not find that it covers directory operations very -well so here is what I have found out. ITS does have a process tree -(try the PEEK command) but does not have a directory tree. There is a -Master File Directory MFD (try DSKUSE * or DIRED and then MFD. Use -"Q" to quit after either of those.) and User File Directories UFDs one -level deep only. The only way to remove a directory is to delete its -contents and run the salvager. The salvager is the ITS equivalent of -fsck and will automatically be run at boot time. To create a new -directory provide certain options to the open UUO (ITS equivalent of -system call; try the DOC UUO command.) Since the PRINT command calls -the open UUO you can create a directory using print: - -:print ..new. (udir) dirnam; - -Where dirnam; is the name of the directory to be created. Directory -names are limited to six characters. - -Missing from this ITS distribution is the INQUIR database. It -contains user information. There were too many personal details in it -and no one has been able to scrub it so it was left out. This means -you cannot have a complete user account yet. The best you can do is -to pick a user name and make yourself a directory with that name and -put a login script in it. In this example the user "user" is created: - -:login user -:print ..new. (udir) user; -:emacs login user -[add startup code like ":tctyp vt52" and ^X^S to save ^X^C to exit] - -You log out with <ALTMODE><ALTMODE>u which is [Esc][Esc]u and -represented in the documentation as $$u - -The ITS equivalent of $PATH is implemented by scanning all -directories for files for files with TS as the first name and -the second name set to the command you issued. By convention -most commands are in the SYS; SYS1; ... SYSN; directories. -ITS supports symlinks via the LINK command and TS name is often -a symlink. - -ITS equivalent of job control works by typing ^Z to interrupt the -current program. To get back to the DDT prompt "*" use $^K - -Don't like DDT as the shell? Try MONMOD to use monitor mode where the -colon is printed for you. DDTMOD gets you back. Or try SHELL to -bring up a UNIX-like shell. - -Zork was developed in MDL (muddle) on an ITS system but apparently it -suffered from being too popular. Try the ZORK command to see what -happened. A scrap of MDL source code is left (:find @muddle) but I -don't know how to MIDAS it. |
