OS/8 File UTILity program

                  Futil Version 07A     Writeup Version 07A


Summary of options of CCL command for FUTIL:  

        .Futil [dev:][file[.ex]] [/E][<mode switch>] 

only  the  first  character  of  the command must be given.  "/E" sets
'SHORT' 'ERROR' mode and <mode switch> can be one of the following:  

        /L        set: access mode to LOAD, default .ex to .LD only
        /O=oooo   set: access mode to OFFSET, offset to "oooo"
        /S        set: access mode to SAVE, default .ex to .SV only
CCL remembers the command line, requiring the desired  options  to  be
entered  only  once  per  day  until it is desired to change them.  To
defeat remembrance, add  an  unused  switch  (such  as  "/X")  to  the
command.  

SINGLE-CHARACTER commands:   ([<item>] = optional <item>)

 Output in octal or octal & "symbolic" (PDP or FPP):

  <l>/     /      [<n>]"LINE-FEED"        [<n>]!  [<n>]^  [<n>]_
  <l>+    <l>-

 Output in a specified format:

  [<N>]#          BCD
  [<n>]$          OS/8 ascii
  [<n>]:          SIGNED decimal
  [<n>]%          BYTE octal
  [<n>]&          XS240 format packed ascii
  [<n>]<          OCTAL
  [<n>]=          UNSIGNED decimal
  [<n>]>          PDP "symbolic"
  [<n>]?          DIRECTORY
  [<n>]@          "DATE" format (extended, in alpha-numeric)
  [<n>][          ASCII
  [<n>]\          FPP "symbolic"
  [<n>]]          PACKED ascii
  [<n>]$ ("ALT-MODE")     as 'SET' by last 'FORMAT' option
        (or "ESCAPE")

 No output:

  [<N>]"RETURN"   [<n>];
