FE6.DOC Page 2 FE.DOC -- DOC file for FE Version 6(47) October 1981 1.0 SUMMARY FE is a utility for file transfers between the TOPS-20 file system and the FILES-11 file system. It handles protocol for the "FE" device such that FE: can be addressed as a FILES-11 device, usually through -11 PIP. *** CAUTION *** The "FE" device is intended for use only in software development and updating procedures by knowledgeable people. Use without proper caution may produce unpredictable results. FE runs under TOPS-20 Release 6. FE depends on the existance of the RSX-20F task T20ACP, which should reside on the -11 file system as "T20ACP.TSK". Use of FE and file conversion procedures are described in the Guide To Using the "FE" Device, USEFE.MEM. 2.0 EXTERNAL CHANGES None. 3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES FE will work properly with any of TOPS20"s FE devices (FE0-FEn). However, RSX20F will only correspond using FE0. If FE0 is unavailable the FE program cannot communicate with RSX20F. Only one copy of FE may be run at a time.
