[H390-MVS] Updated levels

[Greg Price [e-mail] [H390-MVS]]

Hi,

Just to formally let it be known that:

(a) IMON/370 is now at level 17.07.05.
Download from
http://www.prycroft6.com.au/vs2sw/index.html#imon370
- click on the "IMON/370" section heading.
No big changes since February, but thought I'd mention it for those who
like being on the latest level.
You can check
http://www.prycroft6.com.au/vs2sw/im370log.html
to see if you need any of the recent fixes.

(b) REVIEW/RFE is now at Release 47.2.
Visit
http://www.prycroft6.com.au/REVIEW/index.html
and scroll down to the "Download resources" bullet points to see if
there are any updated components of interest.

The Release Notes web page is at

Dum dee dum, hum hum...

Oh, still here?

Hmm, how about those Oilers?

Yeah, I was trying my hand at flowcharting some stuff a few weeks back
using software from the web, and was quite impressed with Edraw from
https://www.edrawsoft.com/
and was on the verge of paying for it when my daughter put me on to
draw.io from
https://www.draw.io/
which seems to work from a number of different RTEs or invocation
umbrellas or whatever and seems to be completely free.

I thought it might be nice to have some REVIEW flowcharts, but it seems
(to me) to be so large now that it would be a significant undertaking.
Well, how about some high-level charts, then?

So I put each CSECT name into a circular symbol and plotted an arrow
from each CSECT to each CSECT it called. I then removed parts in
reverse chronological order saving each image as I went. I then used a
GIF animator to construct the animated GIF on the REVIEW home page.

But that GIF does not really illustrate any structural hierarchy, so I
made the SVG (scalable vector graphics) pic viewable at
http://www.prycroft6.com.au/REVIEW/revstruct.html
- use control-plus and control-minus to zoom in and out.
It still looked pretty horrendous until I removed some low-level
subroutines from the mix
- those CSECTs are documented below the actual structure diagram.
It reminds me a bit of some of those diagrams you see of the London
Underground network.

Anyway, FWIW...

Cheers,
Greg

Yikes. That picture reminds me of why
I try to avoid writing any significant
application and try to stick to small
utilities instead.

Hi Greg,
I have two newbie questions:
- how can I tell which REVIEW version is currently installed on my copy of tk4-? I’ve tried « ? REVIEW » , but I get a « NO INFORMATION » message.
- can I upgrade it (without destabilizing my OS) and, if so, how?

Go into RFE (i.e. REVIEW) and type "KEYS" at the "COMMAND ===>" prompt. The version number appears on the top, right hand portion of the next screen.


On the demonstration TK4- system installed at: wotho4.ethz.ch, it is displayed as: (R46.6).

Hi Scott,
46.6 indeed.
I’ve just discovered that ‘?’ is an alias for ‘KEYS’, but apparently only works within RFE.

Yes, funny, isn't it?
You actually have to invoke the software before the software can process
your request.
