INTERIM LIBRARY
The interim library is a shortened edition of the MSOS version 5 library. When in-
stalling an MSOS version 5 library at a new installation (no library running) or at an
MSOS installation using MSOS version
4,
an interim library must be used as a tem-
porary library to generate the version
5
library. An MSOS version
4
library cannot
be used to generate an MSOS version
5
library directly.

The interim library contains the minimum product set members and resident routines
that are needed to:
1. Reassemble COSY decks to change assembly options.
2.
Modify the PRELIB binary source file.
3. Generate an MSOS 5 library.
4.
Define, allocate, open,and close mass storage files.
5. Assemble, load, and execute COMPASS programs.
6. Process MSOS control statements.
7. Test and declare tracks up or down on mass storage devices.
In addition to the operating system routines required to load and execute programst, the
interim library contains the following product set members.
• COSY
• COMPASS
• PLIBEDIT
• PRELIB
• UTILITY (tape utility)
• MSUTIL (mass storage utility)
• BDTRCK (bad track utility)
• APC (automatic peripheral control)
The interim library does not contain FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL, L-MSIO, LISA, or
SORT.
The interim library is supplied on the binary release tape 1 in two formats. The first
is a library dump which can be loaded with the INST statement (IUP, section
4).
The
second format is a binary source file which can be used by PRELIB (1\1S0S version
4
or
5)
to generate the interim library.
