GCOS/Multics File Transfer Facility.

Abstract

Rome Air Development Center currently operates two R and D computer facilities: an HIS GCOS system and an HIS Multics system. Another Air Force site also operates both a GCOS and a Multics installation. In both cases, the GCOS system has preceded the Multics system by several years. There is thus a large GCOS user applications and data files. Many of these users desire to transfer these programs, applications, and data files from the GCOS environment to the Multics environment in order to take advantage of the unique design features of the Multics system. To facilitate this transfer, and to make the process as simple and easy to use as possible, Rome Air Development Center contracted with Honeywell Information Systems to specify, design, and implement procedures and software to provide an integrated capability for the transfer of information, programs, and procedures from the GCOS to the Multics environment. This technical report describes the activities conducted in the performance of this contract. (Author)
