MULTI8 System Manual

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the MULTI8 timesharing system. It covers two main phases of system generation: configuration (using M8GEN.SV to define the hardware environment via CONFIG.PA) and assembly (executing batch files to create the OS/8 system). Detailed sections explain parameter definitions, the relationship between MULTI8 and OS/8 interfaces, and the use of system utilities including MONDUM.SV (crash-dump generator), SHSAVE.SV (short savefile generator), GLOBL.SV (global symbol generator), and XCL (extended command language). The manual also includes extensive diagnostic information regarding error messages encountered during system generation and startup.
