VM/370 Rel 6 & Waterloo Mods Question


 

Was the following mod installed into VM/370 CE?
?
M0071V00RESLIB-- CMS Nucleus Resident Library. ?RESLIB is a CMS transient area
program that allows a user to define commands which will be treated as nucleus
resident by CMS. ?These commands may be new or replacements ?for CMS supplied
user and transient area commands. ?RESLIB also allows ?the allocation of storage
resident work areas which are not released ?between executions of commands. ?The
location of work areas and commands ?can be determined by calling RESLIB with an
associated area identifier. ?Common problems eliminated by RESLIB are: ?1) CMS
transient area ?contention, 2) lack of concurrent execution capability, and 3)
lack ?of permanent global communication areas. ?RESLIB is compatible with all
releases of CMS.--Andy Hanushevsky, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, March
6, 1980.
NUMBER OF BLOCKS REQUIRED: 0000044

Yes.? The SYSBPROF EXEC on the S-disk uses it to load the C library into memory if it can't be loaded as a shared segment.

--Andy Hanushevsky, Cornell University

Hanushevsky and the rest of the Cornell VMers shared a lot of useful code in the 70s and 80s.

Try "FSHELP RESLIB"?
Its how BREXX is loaded.

It all depends on where one starts. I was looking at the Waterloo tapes for something else, saw RESLIB and remembered seeing it on CE, then the question asked here, and then reading the online HELP.? <grin>
?
I know Bob Bolch wrote NUCXMAP for us. Is RESLIB close enough to NUCXLOAD to be it's replacement?
?
Do we need code for the NUCXLOAD options: SYstem, SErvice,? ENdcmd, IMmcmd, and/or Push?
?
And ... I've forgotten what it was I was originally looking for. <sigh>

Bob wrote NUCXTEXT ? as a replacement for NUCXLOAD. You can't have a NUCXLOAD because there are no relocatable modules..
..I am not sure what the differences are between NUCXTEXT, NUCXLOAD and RESLIB...

NUCXTEXT has system but not the others

And ... I've forgotten what it was I was originally looking for. <sigh>

I know that feeling
