Creating a PDP-10 Time-Sharing Monitor

This document describes the four primary stages required to build and deploy a functioning time-sharing monitor for the PDP-10 system:

1. Assembling Source Files: Instructions for using the system parameter tape (S file) and managing feature switches to configure the monitor.
2. Creating the Monitor Library File: Procedures for using the File Update Generator (FUDGE2) to combine relocatable binary files into a properly ordered library.
3. Building a Customized Monitor: A detailed walkthrough of the System Builder (BUILD) program, including system configuration, symbol modification, and error message troubleshooting.
4. Exec Mode Loading: The final process for loading the saved monitor image into the machine using the TENDMP utility.

The guide also provides detailed information on handling non-standard device routines, modifying system symbols to match specific hardware requirements, and interpreting error messages during the build process.
