Extensions to DEC TOPS-20 Operating System

Abstract

This report describes modifications made to the TOPS-20 operating system in order to enable ARPA research programs previously supported by the TENEX operating system to be supported by TOPS-20. In addition, it describes modifications to the ARPANET network control programs (NCPs) for both TENEX and TOPS-20 to enable those hosts to use the 'new style' extended host/IMP leaders. The changes to TOPS-20 have been delivered to DEC and merged with the standard DEC version of the system, and will be maintained by DEC along with the rest of the system.
