The programs in this file allow changes to be made to files on a floppy diskette. The file to be changed could be either an ASCII file (regular VAL file containing .PROGRAM's, .LOCATIONS, and .REALS), or a binary file (CALIBRATION OVERLAY, POTCAL, or diagnostic file).

The programs in this file allow files to be copied from one floppy diskette to another one, using just one disk drive.

The programs in this file allow searching of specified ASCII strings in a specified file on a floppy diskette. All of the matching strings are displayed on the CRT screen, as well as all .PROGRAM names.

The programs in this file allow the VAL-II system clock to be changed to interrupt the system faster than the standard VAL-II operating system expects. This feature must be used with extreme caution because VAL-generated motions WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE.

The programs in this file allow a file on the floppy diskette to be RENAME'd to a different name. This feature was installed in later versions of VAL-II software, but is absent in the earlier versions.

The programs included in this file allow inputs which are not just decimal numbers. In the current VAL-II software system, only numbers are allowed to be inputs. With this package of programs, many other types of input are available. The types of input that are possible are: Single ASCII character, ASCII character string, ASCII character string converted to UPPERCASE, ASCII character string converted to lowercase, Octal number, and Hexadecimal number.

The programs in the file allow only a portion of a file to be LOAD'd into memory. The VAL-II LOAD command will not allow this - it loads the entire file into memory.

This program allows the checking of memory damage in the user areas of the VAL-II system. It should be run if a "STORAGE FORMAT ERROR" results from executing a VAL-II FREE command.

These programs allows servo and potentiometer parameters alterations and other NEAT stuff.

The programs in this file allow the monitoring of the times that the VAL-II system calculates for every motion. The times are displayed on the CRT screen in terms of ACCEL, DECEL, and TOTAL MOTION TIME.

The programs in this file combine to show the flow of program control starting from a selected program name. All programs that are CALL'd from the specified program, any programs that they CALL, etc. will get displayed on the CRT screen in an effort to show the program's flow through the various CALL's.

The programs in this file allow files to be displayed from the floppy diskette, without actually loading them into memory. The file to be displayed could be either an ASCII file (normal VAL file containing .PROGRAM's, .LOCATIONS, and .REALS), or a binary file (CALIBRATION OVERLAY, POTCAL, or diagnostic file).

The programs contained in this file are used to enable a new feature whereby the last lines that have been typed into the system can be recalled back onto the CRT screen, and re-entered again as the same or different commands. When this feature is enabled, typing CONTROL-B will cause the previously typed line to appear on the screen.

The programs in this file allow the searching of a specified variable name in user memory, and all programs that use this variable are displayed on the CRT screen.

The programs in this file allow files to be changed so that they contain (SYSTEM) programs instead of .PROGRAM's.

This set of programs provides a mechanism for copying files from one diskette to another using the VAL II system. This utility assumes that two disk drives are being used, one in the standard floppy port and the other in the ACCESSORY port.

This set of programs provides a mechanism for copying files from one diskette to another using the VAL II system.

The programs in this file allow searching of a specified ASCII string in files on the floppy diskette. All .PROGRAM names are displayed on the CRT screen in addition to all matching strings.

This has many disk drive commands.

The programs included in this file allow inputs which are not just decimal numbers. In the current VAL II system, only decimal numbers are allowed to be inputs. With this package of programs, many other types of input are available. The types of input that are possible are: Single ASCII character, ASCII character string, ASCII character string converted to UPPERCASE, ASCII character string converted to lowercase, Octal number, and Hexadecimal number.

This set of programs provides a mechanism for merging files into a new file by concatenating all data together. The new file can be created on a new diskette or on the same diskette.

This set of programs provides a mechanism for adding security to VAL II user programs by forcing users to input the correct PASSWORD before the user program will be executed.

The programs contained in this file are used to enable a feature whereby the last lines that have been typed into the system can be recalled back onto the CRT screen, and re-entered again as the same or different commands. When this feature is enabled, typing CONTROL-B will cause the previously typed line to appear on the screen.

This set of programs provides a mechanism for using Assembly Language routines in an easier manner.

The programs in this file cause a cross reference listing to be generated on the CRT screen. This listing will show all variables (except those beginning with "xr."), as well as the programs that use them.

This program allows a way to ZALLOCATE memory in a different part of the memory than VAL-II does. This program attempts to get space at the end of the physical memory area, instead of somewhere in the middle. Because of this, there is a better chance of getting this space after programs have been loaded into memory, than when using the VAL-II ZALLOCATE command at this point.

The programs in this file allow Assembly Language routines to be written using the MACRO-11 language. The features in this file include: Initialize and enter an array, Display data in an array, Update data in an array, Get data from user memory into an array, Put data from an array into memory, Save data on a diskette, and Restore data from a diskette.
