                           INTRODUCTION




Multics  Release  12.4  (MR12.4)  is  a  supplemental release and
assumes the  prior installation of MR12.3.  That  is, the library
tapes of MR12.3  a free standing release must  be installed prior
to installation of MR12.4.

This  document  includes  descriptions  of  features  included in
Multics Release MR12.4.  Both SRB  and SIB are combined into this
document,  instructions  for  installing  MR12.4  are included in
Section 5.

Additional  documentation,  including  a  list  of  bugs fixed in
MR12.4, is provided with the release tapes, as printable segments
on  the tape in  a special directory  >doc>MR12.4.  or as  errata
info segsments.  Software Releases prior  to MR12.1 are no longer
supported.   All sites  running pre-MR12.3  software are strongly
encouraged to upgrade to MR12.3 as soon as possible, then move to
MR12.4.

System  Representatives  who  support  Multics  should  apply for
registration  on  the  SiteSA  project  maintained  in Phoenix on
System M.

The SiteSA project was created to allow sites to communicate with
Support  personnel  on  matters  of  site  support.   Only System
Representatives who support a Multics  site are authorized to use
the project.  They are authorized to use it only for site support
activities which require communication  of information to support
personnel.

SiteSAs   should   maintain   their   site's   info  segments  in
>udd>SiteSA>site_info (>udd>ssa>si).   Information on maintaining
these      segments     is      in     the      info     segment,
>udd>ssa>si>site_info.info.



Introduction                   1-1                        SRB12.4


In addition  to normal telephone and  Multics mail communications
with  support  personnel,  SiteSAs  are  encouraged  to  use  the
unusual_crash_log  forum meeting  to report  any unusual problems
encountered at  their site.  SiteSAs not familiar  with forum can
type "help  forum" for usage  information.  Forum is  a subsystem
somewhat like the mail system  in which an electronic meeting can
be held.  To invoke forum, type:

   forum >udd>ssa>sa_meeting>uclog

Type  ?  to  print a  list of  requests allowed  by forum.  Other
forum meetings of interest to SiteSAs are:

            PATHNAME                              SHORT NAME
   ---------------------------------------------  ----------

   >udd>ssa>sa_meeting>install_instructions       ii
   >udd>ssa>sa_meeting>hardware_problems          hwp
   >udd>ssa>sa_meeting>critical_fixes             fixes

We would  appreciate that sites as they  complete installation of
MR12.4 enter a transaction in the install_instructions (ii) forum
meeting.   This  will  allow  other  sites  to  see the amount of
exposure the release is receiving and to communicate any problems
encountered in the installation procedure.

Support also suggests, very strongly, that SiteSAs DO NOT attempt
to reproduce site  problems on System M which are  known to crash
the  system at their  site, cause processors  to loop in  ring 0,
etc.   Such problems  should be  reported via  the Trouble Report
system,  and   will  be  verified  by   support  personnel  using
appropriate   resources,  so  that   System  M  service   is  not
interrupted unnecessarily.

Problems encountered  while installing this release,  or problems
of  a critical  nature to  a customer  site (for  a definition of
critical,  type:  help tr.priorities)  should be reported  to the
list below:

                            SECTION 2


                        CONTENTS OF MR12.4






_C_O_M_M_U_N_I_C_A_T_I_O_N_S _S_Y_S_T_E_M _S_O_F_T_W_A_R_E




_C_o_m_m_a_n_d_s

 1.   The   undocumented   procedure   canonicalize_   no  longer
      terminates it's input pointer.

 2.   Exec_com has been modified to accept the literal &CR.

 3.   The subroutine entry point  'null_entry_' has been added to
      the  command 'nothing'.   This will  enable programmers  to
      perform the same function  as calling the command 'nothing'
      without using a name that can easily clash with the name of
      user segments.

 4.   MRDS will  now complain on attempts to  open databases that
      require  the use  of Data_Management  if Data_Management is
      not available.

 5.   The maximum number of  components in a multi-segment vfile_
      has been raised from 900 to 1250.

 6.   Dates are  calculated using the "Pope  Gregory XIII" method
      (after  Oct 4,  1582).  The  full (normally  4 digit)  year
      instead of the  partial (1 or 2 digit) year  is used in the
      header for the small calendars.

 7.   All user data input or output through LINUS will be rounded
      to the precision of the target before storage or display.

 8.   The    short   name    'dfi'has   been    added   to    the
      'display_forms_info' command.



Contents of MR12.4             2-1                        SRB12.4


 9.   The   working_dir,  get_pathname,  and   equal_name  active
      functions  now return  quoted strings.   Users may  have to
      modify exec_coms  to no longer use the  double vertical bar
      convention  (   ||[...]  )  to  suppress   active  function
      re-evaluation.


_L_A_N_G_U_A_G_E_S


_C _L_a_n_g_u_a_g_e

A- 1. The  "c_compile" command  has been  modified to  painlessly
      locate the other components  of the c_compiler.  Users will
      no  longer have  to change  their search  rules or forcibly
      initiate these programs (cop, ccom, le and main_).


_P_A_S_C_A_L

B- 1. Pascal's round  operator now correctly rounds  real numbers
      of the form -x.5 to the value -(x+1).o, rather than -x.0 as
      was done before.

                            SECTION 4


                     FCO AND FIRMWARE STATUS




_F_I_R_M_W_A_R_E

The firmware identification for MR12.4 is "IFAD D.6".


IFAD (Integrated Firmware and Diagnostics) tapes, are distributed
to all sites having  valid Field Engineering Hardware Maintenance
contracts.  The IFAD tape is  nolonger distributed as an FCO.  It
is now sent with the MR12.4 release tapes.


T&D  (Test and  Diagnostic) tapes,  are distributed  to all sites
having  valid Field  Engineering Hardware  Maintenance contracts.
The T&D tape is distributed as FCO PHAFGA888, rev.  B.2.


This version of  IFAD, firmware, and T&D modules  has been tested
and exposed on System M in  Phoenix.  The modules are supplied as
part of the  MR12.4 release and can be found  in >ldd>firmware as
part of the LDD_STANDARD tape.  When subsequent IFAD tapes become
available,   it   is   recommended   that   the   site   use  the
deckfile_manager,  dfm, command  to load  the released  IFAD tape
into >system_library_tandd.  The firmware  modules should then be
moved  to >ldd>firmware and  a new MST  tape should be  generated
using generate_mst.


The  MR12.4  release  requires  the  following  firmware revision
levels.


            Disc:  DSC191 -- V1
                   DSC500 -- Y1
                   MSP800 -- L1

            Tape:  MTC0500 -- V1
                   MTP0601 -- T1
                   MTP0610 -- C2


Firmware Status                4-1                        SRB12.4


     Unit Record:  Common       -- A2
                   Reader/Punch -- B2
                   PRU1200/1600 -- M1



_F_I_E_L_D _C_H_A_N_G_E _O_R_D_E_R _L_I_S_T

The following list of FCOs should be thought of as a continuation
of the  similar list for  MR12.3.  Sites that  are upgrading from
MR12.3 will need  to verify that FCOs for that  release have been
installed.

As FCOs are completed in Phoenix,  they are sent out to the field
sites.   Some of  the FCOs  affect only  site documentation while
others may  change the hardware to improve  system reliability or
maintainability.   An example  might be  a change  to improve the
supply  of cooling  air to  some boards  so that  the boards  run
cooler  and are therefore  less likely to  fail.  These types  of
FCOs are important to the  long-term success of system operation.
However,  because these  FCOs are   not required  to correct  the
results of any computer program, they are not listed in this SRB.

The purpose of this section is to identify those FCOs that are of
utmost  importance in  the short  term.  This  list includes only
those FCOs needed to correct a program malfunction.

For those FCOs already sent to the field, the "FCO Kit Ship Date"
column  contains the  approximate date  when shipment  of the FCO
kits began.


One of the  column headings in the tables on  the following pages
is "Round Robin".  The implications of a "Yes" in this column for
a particular FCO are as follows:

1.   The FCO kit  includes at least one board.   The new board(s)
     is to replace the board(s) now in the equipment.

2.   Enough FCO kits are put together  for about 20% of the sites
     that are to take part in  the Round Robin.  Some FCOs result
     in a Round Robin for all  sites.  Other FCOs involve a Round
     Robin for some sites but  not for other sites.  For example,
     two  of  the  factors  that   determine  whether  or  not  a
     particular site takes part in a Round Robin FCO are:

     a.   The date codes of certain integrated circuit chips on a
          board.

     b.   The   board  construction    method  --   wirewrap  vs.
          multilayer.




Firmware Status                4-2                        SRB12.4


3.   The  set of  FCO kits  are sent  to the  first set of sites.
     (For the  remainder of this  discussion, we will  follow one
     kit as it makes its Round Robin journey.)

4.   The site installs the FCO.   When the site is satisfied that
     the FCO  is satisfactory, the site returns  the old board(s)
     to Phoenix.

5.   If there is still equipment at other sites that have not had
     the  FCO  installed,  the  returned  board(s)  is  reworked,
     tested, and another FCO kit is assembled in Phoenix and sent
     to the next site.

6.   Since the length  of time it takes a site  to install an FCO
     and become satisfied that it  is working correctly cannot be
     known in advance,  there is no way to  predict with accuracy
     how long it will be until  the FCO has been installed at all
     sites.


The FCOs have been classified into the following categories:


_C_A_T_E_G_O_R_Y__1 - The  new  software  for  this  release  will not run
             properly unless these FCOs are installed.


_C_A_T_E_G_O_R_Y__2 - The new software for this release may or may not run
             properly  if these  FCOs are  not installed.   It is
             strongly recommended to have these FCOs installed to
             improve reliability of the system.


_C_A_T_E_G_O_R_Y__3 - FCOs whose  effects are program-visible, but  do not

                            SECTION 5


                    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS






The  following  installation  instructions  have  been tested and
verified at ACTC in Calgary.


Part 1 of  the installation installs the changes  to the hardcore
and online executable libraries for MR12.4.  Part 1 should be run
from an existing  MR12.3 system just prior to  shutdown after all
users and IO daemons have been  logged out.  At the completion of
Part  1  the  system  should  be  shutdown  and rebooted with the
supplied MR12.4 System Tape.


Part  2 of  the installation   is designed  to be  executed while
running normal  service.  It installs  the LDD source  and object
libraries and  the executable, source  and object changes  to PSP
(unbundled) software.  Part 2 should  not be run while the system
is   heavily  loaded  because   of  the  additional   load  these
instructions place on the system.


The installation of MR12.4 has been made as automatic as possible
through  the  use  of  the  master  installation exec_coms called
12.4.install_part1.ec and 12.4.install_part2.ec.  These exec_coms
assume  privileged  access  and  the  availability  of sufficient
quota.   It  is  the  installer's  responsibility  to ensure that
access and quota are available.  Copies  of the exec coms used in
this installation appear later in this section.


To ensure proper access, it  is recommenced that the installation
be done by  a SysDaemon or SysMaint process.   These projects, by
default, have access to the  appropriate gates and directories to
complete  these installations.   Sites that  have changed default
accesses must ensure these exec_coms  are run from a process with
sufficient access.



Installation Instructions      5-1                        SRB12.4


The total size  of the MR12.4 release directories is  up to 15000
records, depending  upon PSP software  purchased by a  site.  Not
all PSPs are changed for MR12.4.  In order to install all changed
Standard and changed PSP products into the online libraries (step
4), a maximum of 30000 records  could be needed under >ldd.  This
additional storage is temporary and  may be deleted when the site
is  satisfied that  reversion to  MR12.3 is  not necessary.  Each
exec_com  can   be  run  in  parts  to   reduce  overall  storage
requirements.


The time  required to install MR12.4 is  approximately two hours.
If problems occur with these installation procedures contact:

          Daniel Fudge 403-295-5907 or
          Dave Schroth 403-295-5994

Step 1

While  running  under  the  current  (MR12.3)  system  in  normal
service, login Retriever.SysDaemon, and type:

     reload -nosetlvid -noquota

This   causes  the   data   on   the  MR12.4   tapes  (12.4.exec,
12.4.ldd_standard, 12.4.unbundled,  12.4.misc) to be  loaded into
the directory:


>library dir dir>MR12.4.

If  storage is  a problem  these tapes  may be  loaded singly and
these steps repeated for the  appropriate parts of software to be
installed.  The 12.4.misc tape should be loaded last.

Step 2


This step starts Part 1 of the installation.

The  Part 1  exec com  installs the  changed MR12.4  hardcore and
online executable software.

Enter  Special Session,  ensuring  all  users and  SysDaemons are
logged out.  Login as Repair.SysDaemon and type:

cwd >ldd>MR12.4
ec 12.4.install_part1

Respond to queries as  appropriate.  The exec_com is inter-active
allowing Part 1 to be installed  all at once or partially.  There
are  no  dependencies  within  sections  in  Part  1,  but  it is
recommended that it be run in one pass.


Installation Instructions      5-2                        SRB12.4


Step 3

Shut down the system and  reboot using the supplied MR12.4 System
Tape.

Although MR12.4 source and  object changes and unbundled software
changes have not yet been installed normal service can be resumed
at this time.

In  the  event  it  becomes  necessary  to  revert  the  hardcore
installation, reboot the system with the previous (MR12.3) system
tape.

This step completes Part 1 of the MR12.4 installation.

Step 4

This step starts Part 2  of the installation and installs changes
to  the online  source and   object libraries  and the  unbundled
libraries.  The individual parts of this release are contained in
separate     directories      subordinate     to     >ldd>MR12.4,
(12.4.C_COMPILER,   12.4.COBOL,  12.4.EXECUTABLE,   12.4.FORTRAN,
12.4.FORUM,  12.4.HARDCORE,  12.4.LDD,  12.4.LINUS,  12.4.LISTER,
12.4.MOWSE,   12.4.PASCAL  and   12.4.RJE).   Several   of  these
directories   contain  changes   to  PSP   products.   Such   PSP
directories will not  exist or will be empty if  the site has not
ordered  the corresponding  PSP product.   Only those directories
found  to exist  are installed.   The directories 12.4.EXECUTABLE
and 12.4.HARDCORE were installed in Part 1.

Login as Repair.SysDaemon and type:

cwd >ldd>MR12.4
ec MR12.4 phase 2

This release  is packaged in  such a way  that none of  the parts
installed  in this step  are dependent on  another.  This can  be
handy if quota is a problem and  only one part of the release can
be  loaded  out  at  a  time.   The  12.4.install_part2.ec may be
repeated  as  many  times  as  needed.   For  example  it  is not
necessary to install  12.4.LDD in order to run  MR12.4.  If quota
is a problem 12.4.LDD may be installed after all other parts have
been installed and library cleanup (Step 5) completed.

Answer  yes to  install any  part of  the release  that would not
cause quota problems.  Answer no to postpone the installation.

This  step completes  installation  of  all software  changes for
MR12.4.






Installation Instructions      5-3                        SRB12.4


Step 5

The  following  instructions  should  be  executed  when  you are
satisfied  that the  installed software  is stable.   Old release
software replaced by the execution  of the above instructions has
been  renamed with  a screech  name.  Login  Repair.SysDaemon and
type:

cwd >ldd>MR12.4
ec 12.4.cleanup_library

Then type:

cwd <
dd MR12.4

to delete the installation libraries.  At this time you will have recovered
all quota used by the installation of MR12.4.


Step 6 REVERTING BACK TO OLD-RELEASE SOFTWARE

Note that these instructions are not valid if Step 5 above has been processed.
In the event it becomes necessary to revert back to MR12.3 or part of MR12.3
the following instructions are recommended:

SOFTWARE INSTALLED IN PART 1.

Enter Special Session, ensure all users and SysDaemons are logged out.
Login as Repair.SysDaemon and type:

cwd >ldd>MR12.4>12.4.EXECUTABLE
us de_install install_executable
cwd <12.4.HARDCORE
us de_install install_hardcore

Shutdown system and reboot with the MR12.3 system tape.

SOFTWARE INSTALLED IN PART 2.

Software installed in this part may be de-installed in whole or in part at the
site's option.  Without shutting the system down, login Repair.SysDaemon.  For
that portion of MR12.4 to be backed out, type:

cwd >ldd>MR12.4><name>
          (where name is 12.4.C_COMPILER, 12.4.COBOL, 12.4.EXECUTABLE,
                         12.4.FORTRAN, 12.4.FORUM, 12.4.HARDCORE, 12.4.LDD,
                         12.4.LINUS, 12.4.LISTER, 12.4.MOWSE, 12.4.PASCAL or
                         12.4.RJE)
us de_install <name>
        (where name is the name.io segment of the installation to be
         backed out i.e. install_ccompiler, install_cobol, install_executable
                         install_fortran, install_forum, install_hardcore,


Installation Instructions      5-4                        SRB12.4


                         install_ldd, install_linus, install_lister,
                         install_mowse, install_pascal or install_rje)

Repeat this command for any other portions of MR12.4 to be reverted.
