Yeah. Well, ok. I'll see if I can't look at this tonight.

Ah. Well, the code from Matlock is where I started, but that code will
not work without some fight. Which is the first parts that I fixed. The
code did some weird tricks with half-manual overlay management, which
stopped working quite some time ago.
I would definitely just use the code I fixed, since it's just various
improvements on the code Matlock located.
What sources did you use? I had to fix some
things to build and run
under RSX. My fixed version can be found on MIM.
I started with the sources from MIM::DU:[APL], then (last night)
moved to the distribution that Mark Matlock recovered about two years
ago. Most of my testing has been based on the latter. And why are
you trying without FPP?
Because neither of the 11/70s at LSSM has an FPP board set. Also, I have
created an RPM package for APL, which you can just
install if you have that thing running. But that requires FPP as well.
Yes, that's how I started. I have your (wonderful) RPM system
running on all of the networked RSX machines both at LSSM and at home.
When I saw APL in the list of available packages, I thought "Oh, easy!"
...but the executable crashes due to its FPP requirement.
