This disc contains all the necessary files for the HP-UX technical Basic
to run on the IPC with HP-UX version 1.0.0 and 5.0.  The following lists
the files on this disc (note that if you intend to run basic from some
other file system you must copy all of these files).

basic               - The Basic interpreter itself.

load_hpgl           - Load the HPGL driver so Basic CRT graphics is enabled.
                      (needed for HP-UX version 1.0.0 only)

hpgl.data           - The HPGL driver. (needed for HP-UX version 1.0.0 only)

load_rt             - Load the realtime driver.
                      (needed for HP-UX version 1.0.0 only)

rt.data             - The realtime driver.
                      (needed for HP-UX version 1.0.0 only)

hpib.b.             - The HPIB driver.

serial.b.           - The serial card driver.

gpio.b.             - The GPIO card driver.

bcd.b.              - The BCD card driver.

os_nam.1.0.0        - Addresses needed in the OS.  Must be with any driver 
                      you wish to load. (needed for HP-UX version 1.0.0 only)

os_nam.5.0.0        - Addresses needed in the OS.  Must be with any driver
                      you wish to load. (needed for HP-UX version 5.0 only)

hpibpatch           - The patch for the HP-UX version 5.0 system HPIB driver.
                      (needed for HP-UX version 5.0 only)


CAUTION: HP-UX version 1.0.0 users !!!

         The realtime extensions should be loaded prior to bringing up Basic.
         If this is not done interrupts may corrupt the integrity of the
         system causing a reboot to be required. The realtime driver contains
         the required realtime extensions and is loaded by executing load_rt.

         The Basic HPIB driver defaults to the request-for-data-handshake-
         holdoff mode. This will cause ANY mass storage access over the builtin 
         HPIB interface to error off if the internal HPIB interface is used 
         by Basic.  To allow the mass storage access to complete successfully 
         the request-for-data-handshake-holdoff mode must be turned off.  It 
         can be turned off by setting the control register 7 of the HPIB 
         register to 0 and turned back on by setting it to 1. This must be done
         for ANY mass storage access over the builtin HPIB interface whether 
         from Basic or otherwise.

            Program example:

                10 ASSIGN 7 TO "hpib"   ! assigns 7 to the internal HPIB
                20 !
                30 control 7,7;0        ! turn off handshake hold off
                40 !
                50 ! mass storage access over HPIB done here
                60 ! such as cat, load, store, get or save 
                70 ! to or from an external disc
                80 !
                90 control 7,7;1        ! turn on handshake hold off
