To select an
option,
enter
an
option
number
(the
tape
cartridge must be inserted
in
tape
drive 1).
If
an
option
number
other
than
those displayed
is
entered,
the
op-
tions will be displayed again.
Once
the
option
number
has been
entered,
additional
prompting messages might be displayed for
the
selected
option.
Option 1. Copy IMF Tape
The
Copy IMF Tape
option
allows
the
following files
to
be copied
from
the
tape:
File 1, which contains
the
Copy IMF program, Load IMF program, and Display
EC
Version program.
File 2, which contains
the
IMFs for
the
5100. The IMFs can be copied
from
the
file as follows:
1.
Copy all IMFs
that
apply
to
APL.
2.
COpy all IMFs for APL
that
apply
to
the
5100
being used.
3. Copy specific
1M
Fs by problem number.
4. Copy specified IMFs
by
problem numbers
that
apply
to
the
5100
being
used.
(I
f a problem
number
is
specified
that
does
not
apply
to
the
5100
being used, it
is
not
copied.)
Note: The
tape
onto' which files 1 and 2 are
to
be copied
must
be marked before
the
copy
operation
is
done. Use
the
)LlB
command
to
determine
what
size
the
files should be marked.
The
Copy IMF Tape program will issue
prompting
messages and wait for
the
user
to
respond
to
each message.
Copying IMFs allows
tape
cartridges containing only
the
IMFs
that
apply
to
your
5100
to
be created.
Option 2. Load tMFs
The Load IMFs
option
allows IMFs
to
be loaded into
the
system program and
then
makes
the
APL language available again. IMFs can be loaded as follows:
Load all IMFs
that
apply
to
the
5100 being used.
Load specified IMFs by problem numbers
that
apply
to
the
5100
being used.
(If a problem
number
is
specified
that
does
not
apply
to
the
5100
being used, it
is
not
loaded.)
The
Load IMFs program will issue
prompting
messages and wait
for
the
user
to
respond
to
each message.
Note:
The
IMFs
occupy
storage (space)
in
the
active workspace and can also reduce
the
performance
of
your
5100
significantly; therefore, IMFs should
not
be applied
to
your
5100
if
the
problem
does
not
affect
your
operation
or
if
the
problem can
be
circumvented
by
an APL
statement
or
command.
The
IMFs will remain in
the
active
workspace until
the
power
is
turned
off
or
RESTART
is
pressed.
