Mail to this list is also sent to <hp-psl.misc>project-mail.txt. I personally have a logical device definition "dist:" that refers to both <apptech.dist> and <distribution>, thus: define dist: <apptech.dist>, <distribution> ------- 16-Aug-82 12:11:29-PDT,661;000000000000 Date: 16 Aug 1982 1211-PDT From: Cris Perdue <Perdue> Subject: PSL.EXE To: PSL-Project: ; The file PSL.EXE has been moved from <unsupported> to <psl>. <unsupported> contains a small file named psl.exe which runs <psl>psl.exe. This was done for a couple of reasons: members of the group without access to <unsupported> (part of sys:) will be able to install a new PSL; also this means that one can either just run "PSL" or follow the PSL manual's advice and run psl:psl with equal results. Probably PSL should really be on <HP-PSL>, but I got extra space from Tim for PSL on <PSL>, so let's leave things be for a couple of weeks. ------- 16-Aug-82 12:13:05-PDT,197;000000000000 Date: 16 Aug 1982 1213-PDT From: Cris Perdue <Perdue> Subject: PSL.EXE To: PSL-Project: ; The arrangements with psl.exe described in the previous note apply on both HULK and THOR. ------- 16-Aug-82 12:15:50-PDT,963;000000000000 Date: 15 Aug 1982 13:31:10-PDT From: Griss@UTAH-20 at HP-Speech Via: utah-cs Date: 14 Aug 1982 1936-MDT From: Martin.Griss <Griss at UTAH-20> Subject: Imminent Departure To: psl-users at UTAH-20 cc: griss at UTAH-20 Remailed-date: 16 Aug 1982 1215-PDT Remailed-from: Cris Perdue <Perdue> Remailed-to: PSL-Project: ; Eric and I leave for LISP82 tomorrow ~10:30am; Eric returns Wednesday evening, with a plan of packing and leaving for Palo Alto over the weekend. I return Thursday evening, and will be packing over the weekend, with a paln of leaving Thursday. Please exercise the various systems, and discuss problems with Steve Lowder. Eric will be able to give a small amount of final advice ~end of the week, and I will have a few more days. After that, Steve will be in charge of local maintenance. We will not update system until we get established at HP, early September, and get reasonable network access to Utah.

Some of them were previously on <HP-PSL>. They are PSL-USERS. PSL-PROJECT. PSL-NEWS. The news distribution automatically includes all users. Mail to PSL is automatically distributed according to <HP-PSL>PSL-BUGS.DIST. This is not intended for general use as a distribution list, and also is assumed by the mail transport system to be in <HP-PSL>, so leave it there. Anyone wishing to receive a copy of PSL bug reports may put him/herself on the list. ------- 14-Sep-82 13:54:08-PDT,299;000000000000 Date: 14 Sep 1982 1353-PDT From: Eric Benson <BENSON> Subject: PSL users meeting To: PSL-Users: ;, PSL-Project: ; We will have a meeting at 1:30 PM in the conference room by Ira's office to discuss changes to be made to the current PSL system in anticipation of a general release. ------- 14-Sep-82 13:58:55-PDT,190;000000000000 Date: 14 Sep 1982 1358-PDT From: Eric Benson <BENSON> Subject: PSL users meeting To: PSL-Users: ; cc: PSL-Project: ; Whoops, that meeting is tomorrow! (Wednesday the 15th). ------- 16-Sep-82 12:17:46-PDT,1407;000000000000 Date: 16 Sep 1982 1217-PDT From: Cris Perdue <Perdue> Subject: PSL disk space on SS: To: kennard cc: PSL-Project: ; It appears that SS: is ready to receive the PSL files, though Tim has not sent me personally a message saying so. Files will be organized somewhat differently on SS: than they are now on PS:. There will be no <HP-PSL> or any of its subdirectories. There will be <PSL> and subdirectories. Please allocate it 50 subdirectories and 20,000 pages of space. This family of directories is intended to include space for Alan Snyder's PSL editor, Nancy K's mailer program, and "Visicalc" files. There will be a <PSL-DISTRIBUTION> directory to contain a complete snapshot of PSL as distributed to other sites. Please allocate it 30 subdirectories and 8,000 pages. We are requesting a system logical name definition for PSL (PSL:) to be defined as SS:<PSL>, like PASCAL, SAIL, and other subsystems have. The mailer forwards mail to PSL through a distribution list file currently defined to be <PSL>PSL-BUGS.DIST. Please change this forwarding to go through PSL:PSL-BUGS.DIST (assumes the existence of the system logical name PSL:). SYS:PSL.EXE currently causes <PSL>PSL.EXE to be executed. Please change SYS:PSL.EXE to execute PSL:PSL.EXE. There is also a file named SYS:NPSL.EXE. Please replace it with a file that causes PSL:NPSL.EXE to be run. -------
