A-Shell Development History

1. Fix errant display of a "0" if nothing entered into a TYPE "a#" field.

 

2. (UNIX) Spooler temporary files may now be directed to a location other than the directory where miame.ini resides, by defining the environment variable ASHTMP to specify the desired directory.

 

3. (UNIX) OPR:SPOOL.LOG now includes the complete UNIX pathname in the F= parameter if the was printed directly (i.e. no intermediate temp file used for processing of prefix, suffix, autoff, etc.) Otherwise, a new argument, O= is added to the end of the line, and it specifies the complete UNIX pathname of the file which was requested to be spooled. (The O= argument existed in in the 701 version of A-Shell/AIX, but it did not contain the full pathname.)

 

4. LIT files using CMDLIN no longer treat a space in between a [p,pn] and a filename as an argument delimiter, thus preventing accidental operation on an entire ppn when just a single file was intended.

 

5. VERSYS.LIT utility released; may be used similar to DIR/V to display information about another LIT command, except that it also displays information about the resources compiled into the LIT. (This can clear up some confusion over alternate variations of the LIT commands which were compiled with different limits on the number of jobs, devices, etc.)
