                                          Date: Oct 12, 2006

Archive file ssppli.mfarc, containing the 360-era Scientific Subroutine
Package (SSP), in single-precision form, PL/1 (F) version, can be
applied to the MUSIC/SP Demo system.  The PL/1 source is included.

Thanks to Mike Short for contributing this archive.

Note: The file names in this package use the letter "I", not the
      digit "1", in "pli".

Prerequisites:

      (1) MUSIC/SP 6.2 (or later) Demo system.

  or  (2) MUSIC/SP 6.1 Demo system with updates misc5.arc and
          pl1fbas.arc applied.

Free space needed in the Save Library (not counting the .mfarc file
itself):  about 3100 K.

Preparation before restoring the .mfarc file:

      Create subdirectories of userid $000 by the commands:

      md \$000:\ssp
      md \$000:\ssp\manuals
      md \$000:\ssp\object
      md \$000:\ssp\samples
      md \$000:\ssp\source

For a list of the file names contained in the archive, see file
ssppli_nams.txt in the same location as the .mfarc file.

Other notes:

- During the restore of the .mfarc file, error 32 for $000:ssp\source\
  (a directory name) is normal.

- After restoring the files, you may wish to move some of the files
  to the root directory of $000 or some other userid.  If not, the
  directory prefix on some file names in /FILE statements and
  /INC statements may need to be adjusted.  For example, this
  applies to the utility's executor file ssp in the samples directory.

- See additional notes in the .manifest and .readme files.

- $000:ssp\sspcomp is a Rexx program which compiles the PL/1 (F)
  source files to object files, and also creates SYSPRINT output
  in the $000:ssp\listing directory.  (It is not necessary to run
  the Rexx program in order to use the SSP routines.)

- The manuals directory contains only the Application Description
  manual (H20-0544-0), 1968, 12 pages, as file ssp.overview.pdf.
  To view the manual, download it to the PC as a binary file, then
  use Adobe Reader.  For size reasons, the following other namuals
  are not included, but may be available elsewhere such as
  www.bitsavers.org:  PDOM (Program Description and Operations)
  manual (GH20-0586-0);  S/360 SSP V3 System manual (GY20-0092-2).
