                 RSXFMT -- RSX Format File Conversion



                                 NOTE

               Noise-Words  (in  parentheses)  do   not
               appear  in  the  dialogue on the TOPS-10
               version of RSXFMT.

               COMMANDS:

[NO] ADDRESS (WORDS EXIST IN IMAGE FILES)
          When converting to  IMAGE-BINARY  files,  the
          first  two  bytes of each record are ignored.
          When converting from IMAGE-BINARY, two  bytes
          of  address  are inserted at the beginning of
          each record.

CONVERT   (FILE)    <input-file-spec>    (OUTPUT    AS)
          <output-file-spec>
          Converts the specified input  file  group  to
          the output file group, in the mode determined
          by  the  MODE  command  or  the  input  file.
          Default  output  file  spec  is same as input
          file spec, next highest generation.

CRLF (IN ASCII FILES IS) [DEFAULT,  IMBEDDED,  IMPLIED,
          CARRIAGE-RETURN-SINGLE-SPACE]
          Selects whether <CR><LF> should be  inserted,
          removed, or converted to <CR><DC3> at the end
          of  formatted  ASCII  records.   DEFAULT   is
          IMPLIED,  except for .MAP and .DIR file types
          which assume IMBEDDED, and  .LST  file  types
          which assume CARRIAGE-RETURN-SINGLE-SPACE.

EXIT (FROM RSXFMT)
          Returns control to Exec Command Level.

[NO] IGNORE (FILE FORMAT ERRORS)
          File  format  errors  only  produce   warning
          messages if set.

HELP (WITH RSXFMT)
          Types this text.

INFORMATION (ABOUT) [ADDRESS, ALL, CRLF, IGNORE,  MODE,
          RECORD-SIZE, TEMPORARY]
          Displays the settings of the  various  status
          commands.   TEMPORARY files are not supported
          in the TOPS-10 version of RSXFMT.

MODE (OF INPUT) <mode-type> (AND OUTPUT) <mode-type>
          Selects  input  and   output   modes,   where
          <mode-type> is one of the following:
                    7-BIT-ASCII
                    DOS-BINARY
                    DEFAULT
                    IMAGE-BINARY
                    MICROCODE
                    RSX-ASCII
                    RSX-BINARY
                    SAVE
          DEFAULT input mode is selected  by  the  file
          type  and the first word of the current input
          file.  DEFAULT output mode is selected  by  a
          mapping  from  the  mode of the current input
          file.

RECORD-SIZE (FOR IMAGE FILES IS) <decimal number>
          Selects  the  record-size  for  files   being
          converted  from IMAGE-BINARY format.  Default
          is 256 bytes.

TAKE (COMMANDS FROM FILE) <command-file-spec>  (LOGGING
          OUTPUT ON) <log-file-spec>
          Takes RSXFMT commands  from  specified  file.
          In  the  TOPS-10  version,  the output to the
          log-file is not supported.

[NO] TEMPORARY (OUTPUT FILES)
          If specified, all output files  (see  CONVERT
          command)  are  made as temporary files.  This
          is useful to retain the same name of  a  file
          being  converted  to RSX format, yet keep the
          old file after an EXPUNGE.  This  feature  is
          not  supported  in  the  TOPS-10  version  of
          RSXFMT.
