[HECnet] TOPS-10 D-Day, DECnet failure on November 9th is less than six days away

Thanks, Gerry! This is really handy (and this is the part I couldn't remember/figure out last night!)... FWIW, you don't actually need to do a MONGEN in this case, assuming you've previously done one and you're not changing any selections. Just skip straight to relinking... This works fine, however the other common option is to copy your new monitor to [1,5]. On TOPS-10, [1,5] is NEW:, [1,4] is SYS: and [1,3] is OLD:. At the BOOT> prompt you can simply type "[1,5]" (assuming you used the name SYSTEM.EXE) and BOOTS will load the new one. If all is well, then you rename the [1,4]SYSTEM.EXE to [1,3], and then [1,5]SYSTEM.EXE to [1,4]. In the future BOOTS will load the one from [1,4] by default, and if you ever find that you need to go back then you can tell BOOTS "[1,3]" and it'll load the old one. Thanks again! Bob
