patch

This document is an assembly listing for a module named "PATCH," which defines a dedicated "patch area" for a Time-Sharing (T.S.) Monitor.

Key points:

• Purpose: To establish a memory region for applying patches to the T.S. Monitor.
• Loading Instruction: It is critical that this program be loaded after any other necessary programs but before core system components such as SYSMAK, EXEC DDT, and USER ODT.
• Structure: It reserves a 300 (octal) word memory block, labeled "PATCH1," starting at address 0, which serves as the actual patch area.
• Metadata: The listing is dated June 4, 1969, and credited to A. Franz/RAP.
• Status: The assembly process completed with "NO ERRORS DETECTED," and the program's final size (program break) is 300 (octal) words. It also includes a directive to save debugging symbols.
