Abstract: The PROSOFT Boot Floppy contains utility programs to assist
the user in generating RX50 floppy diskettes from the
PROSOFT Tape Collection, DECUS No. VS0112.

The Boot Floppy contains the following utilities:

 .  KERMIT-11
 .  WTRX50
 .  RDRX50
 .  CPRX50

WTRX50 and RDRX50 can be used to copy RX50 diskettes to/from
raw binary container files on the hard disk of the format
provided in the PROSOFT Tape Collection.  CPRX50 is a
diskette-to-diskette physical copier.  These utilities have
been tested under P/OS 1.7, 2.0, and 3.2.  The FORTRAN-77
compiler is not required, as the PROF77 run-time library was
provided with P/OS DCL (as well as with the Tool Kit DCL).

KERMIT can be used with the PRO's asynchronous
communications port to download the raw binary container
files from the VAX to the PRO, in lieu of DECNET or other
transport mechanisms.

Notes: This package contains utilities used to build RX50 kits from
the PROSOFT
Tape Collection, DECUS No. VS0112.  Executable and/or object code is
included.

Complete sources not included.
