<<< EISNER::DUA3:[NOTES$LIBRARY]PDP-11.NOTE;1 >>> -< PDP-11 >- ================================================================================ Note 267.0 [RT11]Fix to USR Shoe Horn 1 reply EISNER::CROWELL "Shefth of the Fourth Order" 16 lines 27-JUL-1989 12:36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When copying files, or opening files of known length, the RT-11 USR finds an empty space on the disk that is the closest fit to the file, and puts it there. A lot of us would rather that the file be put in the first available empty space that is large enough. The following change in USR.MAC will change the "best fit" to "first fit." Old Code: Change to: BHI 9$ BEQ 131$ BEQ 131$ BR 9$ 132$: MOV R4,(R5)+ 132$: MOV R4,(R5)+ It'll work for all monitors. This problem is discussed a little in the September Newsletter. I should have a reliable binary patch procedure worked out for the October issue.
