Some form of logical line identification must also be made.
For example, if a straight line is to be drawn across the
display this fact should be transmitted, rather than a
series of 500 short vectors.
As things firm up, more and more complicated structural
display information (in the manner of LEAP) should be sent
and accommodated at user sites so that the responsibility for
real-time display manipulation may shift closer to the user.
imp ctrl The server-host may also want to send control
information to IMPs. Formatting of this information is done by
the host decoder. [>tif(urt) <tif(decode)]
The other control information supplied by the host decoder is
message break up and identification so that proper assembly and
sorting can be done at the user site.
From the host decoder, information does to the invisible IMP, and
directly to the NET-to-user translator. The only operation done
on the messages is that they may be shuffled.
urt The user reception translator accepts messages from the
user-site IMP 1 and fixes them up for user-site display.
[>nif(d ctrl)>tif(prgm ctrl)<tif(imp ctrl)<nif(decode)]
The minimal action is a reordering of the message pieces.
dctrl For display output, however, more needs to be done. The
NET logical display information must be put in the format of
the user site. Display control does this job. Since it
coordinates between (encode) and (decode) it is able to offer
features of display management local to the user site.
[>nif(display)<nif(urt)]
prgmctrl Another action may be the selective translation and
routing of information to particular user-site subsystems.
[>tif(dctrl)<tif(urt)]
For example, blocks of floating-point information may be
converted to user-style words and sent, in block form, to a
subsystem for processing or storage.
The styles and translation of this information may well be a
compact binary format suitable for quick translation, rather
than a print-image-oriented format.
(display) is the output to the user. [<nif(d ctrl)]
USER-TO-HOST INDIRECT TRANSMISSION
(net mode) This is the mode where a remote user can link to a node
indirectly through another node. [<nif(decode)<tif(hrt)]
DEL SYNTAX
NOTES FOR NLS USERS
All statements in this branch which are not part of the compiler
must end with a period.
To compile the DEL compiler:
Set this pattern for the content analyzer ( (symbol for up arrow)P1
SE(P1) <-"-;). The pointer "del" is on the first character of pattern.
Jump to the first statement of the compiler. The pointer "c"
is on this statement.
And output the compiler to file ( '/A-DEL' ). The pointer "f"
is on the name of the file for the compiler output -
