!RD10 - Origin NRL.  Obtained through Steve Weinstein
!	MODIFIED FOR USE WITH ARBITRARY PDP 10 PIP FILES
!	BY J. THOMPSON  INTERMETRICS  NOVEMBER 15, 1978.
!
	(FASTER AND EQUIVALENT PROGRAM TO PIP10)

	THIS PROGRAM WILL CONVERT ASCII PIP FILES CREATED ON A
	PDP 10 TO VAX/VMS FILES.  THE PROGRAM IS WRITTEN IN RSX11M
	MACRO.  THE BEST WAY TO USE THE PROGRAM IS FROM A *.COM FILE.

	YOU MUST KNOW IN ADVANCE WHAT THE NAMES OF THE FILES WERE
	THAT WERE PUT ON THE TAPE BY THE PDP 10.  YOU MUST ALSO
	KNOW THE ORDER OF THE FILES ON THE TAPE.  THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
	NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT FILE IS WHAT (I.E. NO HEADER INFO)
	ON THE TAPE.  IF BINARY FILES GOT PUT ON THE TAPE, THE PROGRAM
	WILL OUTPUT TRANSLATED GARBAGE.  USUALLY THESE GARBAGE FILES
	EXCEED OUTPUT RECORD LENGTHS OF 140. BYTES AND APPROPRIATE
	ERROR MESSAGES ARE OUTPUT.  HOWEVER, SOME GARBAGE FILES MAY
	NOT BE FLAGGED WITH ERROR MESSAGES - E!

	ALSO BEWARE - GARBAGE IN PDP 10 FILES (SUCH AS EXTRANEOUS FORM
	FEED CHARACTERS) WILL COME OVER TO THE VAX FILES.  NULLS WILL NOT.

	THE FOLLOWING LISTING IS OF RD10.COM AND SHOWS TYPICAL USE OF
	THE PROGRAM.

	NOTE - YOU MUST MOUNT THE TAPE ON DRIVE MT1: (or change the ASG
	       line of the TKB to MTn: where you coose n)

		$ SET DEF [Your_Directory_Name]
		$ ALL MT1:
		$ MOU MT1:/FOR
		$ RUN RD10
		CSPSUB.FBB
		PUNCH.FBA	sample files
		MOVE.FBB
		BYTE.FBA
		...
		...
		...END WITH A CARRIAGE RETURN

	THE PROGRAM WOULD BE RUN USING

		SUBMIT RD10.COM

	OR

		@RD10
