| 25.1 | nearly right! | KERNEL::PETTET | Norm Pettet CSC Basingstoke | Wed Apr 12 1989 14:49 | 6 |
| The VMS manuals are now updated to version 5.1. Unfortunately in
the update they forgot to supply a ring binder for the 5.1 New
Features,and Installation guide! So until the binder arrives I have
put these 2 manuals with the Release notes
Cheers...Norm

| 25.2 | The Library Lives!! | KERNEL::CLARK | | Tue Apr 18 1989 17:45 | 10 |
| Hi folks!!.....
Remember the DRIVE working parties??? (THESUN::WORKING_PARTIES)
Note 13 is the Library working party conference. There's nothing
new about the library system. It's still struggling to establish
its priority in the melting pot!! However, for those of you who
have lost touch, there are fairly recent entries, which will bring
you almost up to date. There are some additional items to be added
relating to developments in the past month. I will attempt to add
these to this conference as time permits.

| 25.3 | What's in the Library | KERNEL::BLAND | toward 2000 ... | Sun Jul 16 1989 15:51 | 104 |
| SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS LIBRARY
========================
The recent move of desks/cupboards within our group meant that our
library cupboards were moved (only a little). I know that you have
(I hope) re-discovered the library, however I thought it would be
appropriate to mentioned a few points together with the physical
position of our library.
PRINTSET DRAWER's
`````````````````
a) The two Norm's have recently "savaged" the printsets in order
two remove multiply copies. This is not 100% complete, but has
reduced the quantity considerably.
b) Vax printsets are in the top drawer, PDP and Misc. are in the
middle. The bottom drawer has a few that have not yet been sorted.
c) Most printsets have a protective cover, however the labels on some
have fallen off (due to age); some have not yet had labels
attached.
d) Printsets can be viewed from the front to the rear; each drawer
is divided into two halves.
CUPBOARD NUMBER 1
`````````````````
a) The left-hand halve of this cupboard contains box files with PDP
related manuals/info. Numbers are in the 5000-5999 range.
b) The right-hand halve of this cupboard contains box files/binders
with VAX related manuals/info. Numbers are in the range 8000-8284.
CUPBOARD NUMBER 2
`````````````````
a) Both halves of this cupboard contain box files/binders with VAX
related manuals/info. Numbers are in the range 8285-8805.
b) The right-hand halve of this cupboard contains the following:-
i) Five large blue binders containing mainly out-of-date info. The
one that is up-to-date is CLUSTER REV DOC K1.
ii) Three smaller blue binders containing Cluster Troubleshooting
Manuals (2 identical), also an OPTIONS LIST from PAULI.
iii) Four box files containing back numbers of DECSTUFF (note that
DECSTUFF dated JULY'89 will be the last to be distributed).
iv) Hardware and Software OPTIONS CATALOGUE dates OCT'88.
v) VAX DIAGNOSTIC DESIGN GUIDE and VAX DIAGNOSTIC SUPERVISOR
USER's GUIDE.
vi) DEC STD 032 ARCHITECTURE STANDARD MANUAL (low rev but useful).
vii) RSDS USER's MANUAL V1.3 and RDAT USER's MANUAL V1.0.
c) On top of this cupboard there should be a comprehensive list of
the contents of all libraries (on a good day).
CUPBOARD NUMBER 3
`````````````````
a) The left-hand halve of this cupboard contains PDP/VAX LOGIC,
PERIPHERAL, ARCHITECTURE etc hardware/software books. Also at the
bottom are three binders with MVE info.
b) The right-hand halve of this cupboard contains spare box files and
junk (expansion space).

| 25.4 | Better late than never! | KERNEL::PETTET | Norm Pettet CSC Basingstoke | Mon Sep 04 1989 16:47 | 10 |
| Members of the Library Working Party,
Don't you think its about time we got together & discussed the
current status in the Library re-organisation?. I've certainly got
some points to raise and I know Dave Clark has as well. I suggest
we get together in the next month.
Discuss........

| 25.5 | Library improvement | KERNEL::BLAND | toward 2000 ... | Mon May 21 1990 21:30 | 15 |
| Hello folks,
You may be pleased to know that the library listing (orange folder
that sits on top of one of the library cabinets), has been updated
such that all manuals in our library associated with VAX systems
can now be found under "VAX". This should make it easier to find
the manual that you are looking for. Note that POLARSTAR can now
be found under "VAX 8820/30/40", NAUTILUS under "VAX 85/87/8800",
VENUS under "VAX 8600/8650" etc. I have also included BI, CI & HSC
manuals under the heading of "VAX", eg "VAX BI", "VAX CI", "VAX HSC".
Note that the alpha options "BI", "CI", "HSC" follow the numeric
options (DCL SORT).
If you find any errors or want to suggest further improvements,
then please let me know.
Cheers, Norman Bland

| 25.6 | Program to find Library Manual | KERNEL::BLAND | toward 2000 ... | Mon May 21 1990 21:34 | 9 |
| It's me again,
I am working on a program that will enable you to find a the number
of a library manual from your own terminal. The intention is that
it should be used as an alternative to the listing in the orange
folder, not as a replacement.
Watch this space.
Cheers, Norman Bland

| 25.7 | look to the STARS | KERNEL::PETTET | Norm Pettet CSC Basingstoke | Tue May 22 1990 03:25 | 8 |
| Norm,
John Travell reformatted the library data 18 months ago!!! all
it needs is ops-support (Dave Wheller I think) to run his program
and then the library data will be accessable from STARS.
See Dave Clark for more details.
Cheers...the other Norm

| 25.8 | Why are we waiting (tra la la) | KERNEL::BLAND | toward 2000 ... | Wed May 23 1990 12:41 | 7 |
| Thanks Norm, I lost for words if this is the case. I do not understand
that if we could have had this 18 months ago, why we are still waiting.
I will still go ahead and do my thing; I have shown the idea to
a few people within our group and have had a favourable response.
One person actually commented, "thats better than STARS", or words
to that effect.
Cheers, the other Norm

| 25.9 | PDP Library re-organised | KERNEL::BLAND | toward 2000 ... | Sun May 12 1991 04:25 | 42 |
| The PDP library has undergone a dramatic change. It is now organised in
much the same way as the VAX library, namely:
a) Manuals are grouped into categories.
b) Categories have a number range of 50 (ample)
All entries found in the library listing (orange folder), are in the
format "PDP option/category". The following is an example:
PDP 1104/1134
PDP 1135/1140
PDP BOX/POWER
PDP 1170
PDP MISC
This format makes it easy to search the library listing. It also is
useful for the LIBRARY search program that I have written. An example
of using this is as follows:
Type "F" at the first MENU and "PD" at the FIND MENU. Answer the
question "PDP System or Option" with the category you require i.e.
"1160" (note that all PDP systems do not have the "/" character).
The question "PDP 1160 Manual Search Clue" can be defaulted with a
carriage return. The following results will be obtained:
OPTION MANUAL/PRINTSET TITLE NUMBER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PDP 1160 CABINET & POWER SUPPLY MANUAL 05250
PDP 1160 INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL 05251
PDP 1160 KU116-BB KU116-AB REFERENCE MANUAL 05252
PDP 1160 KD11-K TECHNICAL MANUAL 05253
If however we do not default the question "PDP 1160 Manual Search Clue"
but enter say "power", we get the following"
OPTION MANUAL/PRINTSET TITLE NUMBER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PDP 1160 CABINET & POWER SUPPLY MANUAL 05250

| 25.10 | New category + some New manuals | KERNEL::BLAND | I wanna be a slug | Sun Jun 23 1991 20:19 | 26 |
| There have been some further changes to the VAX library; some manuals
already present, plus some new ones, are now filed under the category
VAX REFERENCE. As the category implies, these are reference manuals
that are not specific to any system or option. Here's what we have to
date.
