I case anybody cares, the reason MC was down memory 200-577 was
that the AMPEX start address switches were set wrong.  My theory
is that when DEC Field Circus re-enabled sector 0 a finger kept
going in the up-right direction and flipped the address switch.
There is now a piece of paper on the inside of the AMPEX door
wich gives a correct setting of the switches.

I renamed the ITS dumps on MC in the canonical fashion as you suggested.
NITS1 is current, ITS is old.  Next patched ITS should be dumped out as NITS.
Older stuff migrated to OxITS files.  Copy of NITS1 on BACKUP.

    Is this peculiar segment of CHANNA;LOGOUT TIMES normal, and
    will it hurt anything?  It seems to have the effect of making
    logout times for people beyond the discontinuity inaccessible
    to :when.

Could this be related to a power supply dying in that memory?
DEC fixed a power supply after (I think it was) Mem F dropped
dead yesterday.  Ty called me yesterday just as I was about to
go sleep, so I just told him to call DEC instead of looking at
it myself.

CRASH;@ FEB22 indicates that bank 7 of mem F is acting up again.
I can't tell which half, but probably this indicates that it was
sheer coincidence that the right half of this bank started working
when DEC fixed it a while back.  If anyone wants to debug this, a
good start would be to swap bank 7 right with bank 6 right and bank
7 left with bank 5 left, then either get it to fail in a diagnostic
or put it back on-line and see what addresses fail.  The map of
physical locations of memory banks is inside the front door of mem A or B.

Ed and I just noticed that you left ATSIGN DDT as an SBLK file instead of
as a PDUMP file; it was apparent because the system was so incredibly
slow.  We have fixed it; please be more careful.

Installed ITS version 1268 as NITS1, old one is still NITS.
Seems to work. There are no memory patches here.

AI is now running ITS 1268, which as dumped as NITS.  The current memory
patches are dumped. The former system version is now called ITS.

	    I tried to DOVER AI:LMWIND;WINDOC PRESS and the file turned out to be a bad
    press file.  Would whoever knows about such things be able to reformat it please? 
This is yet another manifestation of the fact that many if not most
files on 15 consist of nulls.  Is nobody ever going to fix this?

It seems that :tctyp t1061 now turns off more processing, it didn't use to
(in fact today is the first time I noticed it)
