Begin port to DECstation 3100.  23 July 1989.
Start with source only archive of VAX/Ultrix system.
[note - rsh/tar hung up mysteriously while loading files onto decstation,
[and had to be restarted].
--------------------------

unix/as.mips +
unix/bin.mips +
	Created AS and BIN directories for Dec/MIPS.  (7/23)

unix/as.mips/zsvjmp.s
	Prepared a dummy version of zsvjmp for the moment.  All this does is
	set the output status value to zero.  (prepared by using the compiler
	to generate the assembler source for a small C program).  (7/23)

unix/boot/spp/xc.c
	It appears that for some reason, the MIPS C compiler or linker will
	not accept a file with a .e extension as the output (-o) file.
	Had to modify XC to output a .E file temporarily, which is renamed
	to .e after the link.  (7/23)

unix/mkpkg.sh
unix/os/mkpkg.sh
unix/shlib/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/bootlib/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/generic/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/mkpkg/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/rmbin/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/rmfiles/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/rtar/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/spp/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/spp/mkxc.sh
unix/boot/spp/rpp/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/spp/xpp/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/wtar/mkpkg.sh
unix/boot/xyacc/mkpkg.sh
unix/gdev/sgidev/mkpkg.sh
unix/bin.mips/fixnames +
	Modified all the mkpkg.sh files to generate .E files.  Added a
	fixnames script to bin.mips to rename any .E files therein to .e,
	and added code the the root mkpkg.sh to call fixnames at the
	end of the bootstrap.  (7/23)

unix/hlib/cl.csh
unix/hlib/mkiraf.csh
unix/hlib/install
unix/hlib/libc/iraf.h
	1. Modified the iraf root pathnames in these files.
	2. In the install, also deleted the entries for edsym.e to avoid
	an error message during the install.  (7/23)

unix/hlib/extern.pkg
	Commented out the stsdas entries.  (7/23)

unix/hlib/mkpkg.inc
unix/hlib/irafuser.csh
unix/hlib/mkpkg.sf.MIPS
	Set MACH to MIPS.  Added a case for machine type MIPS.  Added an
	empty special file list.  (7/23)

unix/hlib/motd
	Modified to say DECstation/IRAF.  (7/23)

unix/os/zxwhen.c
	Added a #ifdef mips section with some hardware exception codes for
	the MIPS.  (7/23)

--------------------
Start bootstrap.  (7/23)

unix/hlib/irafuser.csh
	Linking of RPP produced a "gp relocation out of range" error message.
	It was necessary to compile with "-G 0" (no global variables indexed
	by global pointer) in order to get this to go away.  (7/23)

unix/boot/bootlib/mkpkg.sh
	Modified to mv libboot.a to $hbin (../../bin) rather than $hlib,
	since the libboot.a in $hlib is a symbolic link.  (7/23)

--------------------
Start sysgen.  (7/23)

unix/as/gkiprint.o +
unix/hlib/mkpkg.sf.MIPS
	The file gkiprint.x would fail with a slew (like, 700) syntax and
	other errors.  There was nothing wrong with the code and the few
	workarounds I tried had no effect.  I finally managed to compile
	the file by breaking it up into half a dozen pieces, compiling each
	separately, and linking the resultant objects into a single large
	object gkiprint.o.  Since this bug will probably go away before long
	I merely placed the manually generated object file in AS, and made
	an entry in the special file list to use this object.  (7/23)

unix/as/imsetr.f +
unix/hlib/mkpkg.sf.MIPS
	In this case the file imsetr.f would cause the first pass of f77
	to core dump (not an optimizer problem).  I had to hack the fortran
	code to workaround the bug, placing the hacked file in AS.  The
	offending statement was:

               memi(im+33) = and (memi(+33) , not(1 ))

	the following version is ok:

               i = not(1)
               memi(im+33) = and (memi(+33) , i)

	The bug must have something to do with the bit intrinsics.  (7/23)

unix/as/fseti.f +		# FIO
unix/as/fmfcache.f +		# FMIO
unix/as/fmlfbrd.f +
unix/as/fmlfbwr.f +
unix/as/fmlfcopy.f +
unix/as/fmlfundel.f +
unix/hlib/mkpkg.sf.MIPS
	Modified to work around the same compiler bug as above.  The NOT of
	any compile time integer constant used in an expression seems to
	always cause a core dump.  (7/23)

unix/boot/spp/xc.c
unix/hlib/mkpkg.inc
	1. In the first sysgen, x_images.e failed to link with a "gp relocation
	out of range" type problem.  Recompiling the IMAGES package libpkg.a
	with -G 0 fixed the problem.
	2. Passing this flag through XC, however, was not possible without
	a code change to XC, as there was no way to pass two consecutive
	arguments such as "-G 0".  In order to support this XC was modified
	to permit flags of the form "-/#flag", which are passed as "flag".
	This is similar to "-/flag" which is passed as "-flag", except that
	it allows flags with no "-" to be passed.  Hokey, but backwards
	compatible and it solves the problem.  (7/23)

-----------------
Started sysgen of NOAO packages.  (7/23)

noao/lib/database.o +
noao/lib/mkpkg.inc
noao/lib/mkpkg.sf.MIPS
	The database.x file in DTOI would cause the compiler to become
	terminally confused, as with gkiprint above.  Manually constructed
	the database.o object, placed the latter in noao$lib, and modified
	the NOAO special file list to use this object rather than try to
	compile the file.  (7/24)

unix/hlib/config.h
unix/hlib/libc/spp.h
	Set the size of the ZDOJMP jump buffer to 84 (83 ints for the jmp_buf
	buffer plus 1 for the address of the status variable).  (7/24)

unix/as.mips/zsvjmp.s
	Wrote and installed the real zsvjmp.s.  (7/24)

-------------------
Sysgen/relink with new zsvjmp.
Everything appears to work now.  (7/24)

bin.mips
noao/bin.mips
	Stripped the BINS to save disk space, as it appeared that the symbol
	table information is unusually large on the decstation.  (7/25)

				Normal		Stripped

	core system bin		  21.5		   16.0
	noao bin		  18.0		   12.3
				-------		--------
				  39.5		   28.3		

unix/as/zsvjmp.s
	Modified slightly to eliminate a delay slot.  This failed to work
	at first and I eventually discovered that the reason was that the
	*assembler* was modifying my assembler code, reordering the
	instructions and inserting nop's in delay slots, producing invalid
	code!  I had to add a "noreorder" directive to get it to leave the
	code alone.  (7/25)

unix/os/zxwhen.c
	As a first step in testing exception handling I tried the following
	in the CL:

		cl> = 5 / 0
	
	This caused the CL to core dump on the uncaught signal SIGTRAP.
	On all other unix systems thus far, integer divide by zero has been
	mapped to SIGFPE, but on the MIPS it is a trap.  Modified zxwhen.c
	to map SIGTRAP onto the VOS exception class X_ARITH.  (7/25)

unix/os/zzstrt.c
	Added the following #ifdef mips code to zzstrt, to enable the overflow,
	invalid, and divzero IEEE exceptions:

		set_fpc_csr (get_fpc_csr() | 07000);

	The {set|get}_fpc_csr() routines appear to be undocumented but I
	found them anyhow by searching the symbol tables of the host libraries
	in /usr/lib.  (7/25)

	[LATER] Well, enabling the IEEE exceptions works, but somehow this
	is making the software misbehave in a way I do not yet understand
	and do not have time to look into right now.  Completely unrelated
	things like "stty vt100", "imheader dev$pix" fail mysteriously with
	the IEEE trap enable bits set in the FPU context and status register.
	This doesn't make any sense and we will have to do without the IEEE
	traps for now.  Possibly this is due to a bug in the OS which will
	go away in the next release.

unix/hlib/mkfloat.csh
	The code in this script which lists the tar archive back with
	"tar -tf", to verify that a good archive has been generated before
	deleting the files, does not work on the DECstation.  The problem
	is that tar -tf produces different output here than on the other
	systems; the directories are listed as files in addition to the files.
	I had to change the

		tar -tf
	to
		tar -tf | grep -v '/$'

	to get things to work.  (7/26)


unix/bin.mips
noao/bin.generic
bin.generic
	Stripped all the executables (HSI, IRAF, NOAO).
	Made IRAF and NOAO generic. (7/26)


Summary of various problems encountered.
-------------------

	fortran compiler core dumps
	c compiler core dumps
	cannot -o to a .e file
	rsh|tar hung once
	NO ADB!!
	dbx dies occasionally with internal error: stack overflow
	2 user limit on logins - prevents even having two windows
	    open from Sun with a different rlogin session in each.
	System is very fast single user; much slower if anything else
	    is running on the machine (memory too small?).
	System crashed on first day of testing with 2 users busy doing things.
	    (there did not seem to be a system message file).
	Some routines which use floating point produce different results on
	    the MIPS than on other systems.  Examples thus far are the FITS
	    programs, and IMHISTOGRAM.  No doubt more will be discovered.
	IEEE exception handling is not working currently.


----------------
V2.8BETA system frozen and archived.  (7/26)

----------------
Begin upgrade to V2.9ALPHA, 6 DEC 1989.
Working with newly arrived IRAF DECstation 3100!

	Installed the V2.8ALPHA HSI.
	Merged in all relevant V2.9 modifications to the HSI.

unix/boot/spp/xc.c
	Changed the syntax "-/#foo" -> "foo" to "-//foo" -> "foo" for
	escaping command line arguments to XC.  (1/6)

----------------
Started a bootstap. (1/6)

mkpkg
	Extended the mkpkg summary filter in the root mkpkg to filter out
	the great number of "local variable iyy never used" warning messages
	produced by the MIPS compiler.  (1/6)

pkg/plot/t_graph.x
	This file contained a routine im_projection equivalent to a routine
	of the same name in file improject.x, resulting in two externals of
	the same name in the package library.  (1/7)

unix/boot/spp/xc.c
	To avoid a circular reference problem in the DS3100 Fortran libraries,
	which causes an undefined symbols "s_abort" problem when linking some
	programs, added a second search of libF77 to the end of the XC host
	library link list, after the -lm.  (1/7)
