reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA067799 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A method for automating many of the tasks involved in maintaining a large computer operating system SCOPE 3.4 on the CDC 6700 is described. The method is embodied in several procedures, each of which aids in one phase of operating system maintenance. These procedures are written in a manner that promotes ease of modification or enhancement. This automated maintenance tool can also be used in other programming applications where a large amount of effort must be expended in noncreative housekeeping tasks. Author
