Re: Using PL/I on MTS
Look at page 58 of Vol 7 where it talks about source libraries. I see that this description assumes you know the format of a source library in MTS. This may have been a reasonable assumption in 1982

Thanks Mike,
Got the MTS Volume 7 PDF.? Looks like all that is needed is in there.? There only the issue of "library organization" and file naming (especially w.r.t. the %INCLUDE

Re: Using PL/I on MTS
Good luck, it should be possible to make this work.
See https://try-mts.com/pli-introduction/. This is a good brief introduction to PL/I and how to run it on MTS. It is brief but contains a link to

Using PL/I on MTS
Hi
I just cooked up the code you can see at https://github.com/maroxa/pli-treemaps as an exercise in learning PL/I (using the (F) compiler, which is the one available in MTS, as far as I

Re: Change MTS Hostname
It's possible, but I can't tell you how. I've never done that in D6 (or at least not since the 80s). I did it in the 1996 system, but I didn't take notes at the time. I later wrote down some of

Re: Change MTS Hostname
Yes, it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. I changed the host ID from MT to MA on my system and it was surprisingly difficult. I didn't try changing the banner from University of

I'm running MTS, and noticed that the default hostname for the system distribution? from MTS Archive is (MT)
Is there a way I can change the hostname? The login screen also shows "University of

Re: Retrocomputing, but not so much: FTP on MTS
May I suggest realizing that the TCP/IP support already in SDL and Spinhawk
is most likely completely unrelated to the special hardware box MTS used to
interface to the Internet. :-)

Re: Retrocomputing, but not so much: FTP on MTS
Great, that's exactly what I intend to do. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get TCP and UDP servers to work. For example the FTP client works fine and you can connect from MTS to another

Hi
thanks for the update...
May I suggest NOT to release yet another Hercules version??? The extra bits could/should be folded into SDL *and* Spinhawk.
Also, both SDL and Spinhawk already have

Re: Retrocomputing, but not so much: FTP on MTS
Yes we'll release this version of MTS. We'll also release a Hercules that runs it one way or another, either as part of a regular version or separately. As for timing, it's a bit hard to say. It's

Re: Retrocomputing, but not so much: FTP on MTS
Not in the D6 version of MTS. That version of MTS is from 1988 and doesn't have much Internet support. The later, 1996, version does support FTP as well as other services and I've been working on

OPERATOR task dies on Herc 4.2 and later

recently I tried to play around with MTS again and I decided to set it up using Hercules 4.3. Long story short: after a few minutes the OPERATOR task on DS01 dies and asks for a 9-track tape for
