DUMP and itstar

Saving ITS files and extracting them using itstar

  • Mount a tape image in the emulator.

    • Type Control-\.

    • For KLH10, type

       devmount mta0 files.tape create
       continue
      
    • For SIMH, type

       attach tu0 files.tape
       continue
      
  • In ITS, type :dump. At the _ prompt, type dump. The FILE= prompt will accept directory and file names. * can be used as a wild card. Finish with an empty line. When DUMP has finished writing the files, type quit to exit.

  • Unmount the tape image.

    • Type Control-\.

    • For KLH10, type

       devunmount mta0
       continue
      
    • For SIMH, type

       detach tu0
       continue
      
  • In the host, run itstar to extract the files:

     itstar -xf files.tape
    

Moving host files to ITS

  • Create one or more directories, and put the files in them. There can not be directories inside directories. For example, let's say you created the directories foo and bar.

  • Run itstar to make a tape image:

     itstar -cf files.tape foo bar
    
  • Mount the tape image in the emulator.

  • Type Control-\.

    • For KLH10, type

       devmount mta0 files.tape
       continue
      
    • For SIMH, type

       attach tu0 files.tape
       continue
      
  • In ITS, type :dump. At the _ prompt, type load. The FILE= prompt will accept file names as above. Finish with an empty line. If you need to load more files, type rewind to make another pass over the tape. When you're finished, type quit to exit.

  • Unmount the tape image as above.
