ERZ is a utility for displaying and/or editing ersatz definitions on
the system. The changes to the ersatz device table are made "real time"
without having to reboot the system. Several ersatz devices may be
changed at the same time. The program DOES NOT update the system ersatz
initialization file(s) which define ersatz devices upon a system boot.
What you need to run it:
- ESP (run time or development pkg) or DART (which includes the former).
- ERZ.LIT program.
- ERZ.SCR screen file.
If you want to manipulate the source code you need:
- AlphaC compiler package (version 1.0B or later).
- TBXC.H and TBXC.LIB ESP/TOOLBOX interface.
- As written, source code is intended to compile using /NOINIT and
the CNINIT.OBJ start-up code (I despise those silly .RTI files).
How to work it:
- From AMOS command level enter the command ERZ[ret].
- To page back and forth (assuming > 1 screen of ersatz devices),
simply press NEXT-SCREEN or PREV-SCREEN.
- To edit the current screen full of ersatz device definitions, press
EDIT (F1 on most terminals).
- If your user security has been defined to ESP as 254, you may also
change the device names, as well as the definitions.
- Once in edit mode, the changes made will take effect as soon as
EXECUTE is pressed.
- In edit mode, changes may be "abandoned" by pressing MENU.
- The program is exited by pressing MENU from display mode.
If you have problems:
This utility is NOT downward compatible with earlier versions of ESP.
If your version of ESP is 1.1(126) or less (as judged by the version of
DSK0:SEDIT.LIT[1,4]) then you may need to upgrade before this utility
will work.
