Reconstructed by Rick Murphy. Creation date of March 20, 2009 is a rough guess. Space optimization pass. Understands commands in lower case, but does not echo them in upper case, like earlier versions did. Tested: Starts up and passes basic tests including unlock and capture. check-in: 30c395e240 user: rick tags: trunk, version-2.3

Reconstructed by Rick Murphy. Creation date of December 1981 is a rough guess. Proper SAVE/RESTORE with USR incorporated. advent.os8 has been updated to deal with source add/remove/rename actions that have happened. Tested: Starts up and passes basic tests including unlock and capture. check-in: 765b7a9352 user: rick tags: trunk, version-1.5
1979-05-01
00:00
Reconstructed by Rick Murphy Creation date of May 1979 is a rough guess. A history.dc has been added that details difference with this version. This version is unique in that the the SAVE operation is implemented by suspending the Fortran runtime and exiting to OS/8 to allow a save image to be written to disk. However this approach is abandoned in later versions. advent.os8 has been updated to deal with rename of TEXT.TX to ADVENT.TX and the addition of init.ra. check-in: c10fd11602 user: rick tags: trunk, version-1.3

Forgot to add the save and restore fortran files. check-in: 2c07ee2ac5 user: rick tags: trunk, version-1.2
00:00
Reconstruction of version 1.2. Creation date is a rough guess. Attempt at proper SAVE/RESTORE. Dropped. Does not run. Complains of needing more core because dynamic open and close are needed to get it to fit. Rolls back a cosmetic change made in 1.1 the location in .ra files of the SECT declaration. advent.os8 is updated to include the save/restore FORTRAN sources. check-in: bde0bd13b6 user: rick tags: trunk, version-1.2

Reconstruction of version 1.1. Creation date is a rough guess. Added original FORTRAN code as comments in the RALF files. Additional changes and functionality added from merge-in of updated RT-11 ADVENT. check-in: ec2f792cb5 user: rick tags: trunk, version-1.1
