INTRODUCTION
This manual is a detailed index to the RSX-llM documentation set. It indicates where in
the set information on a topic can be found. This index, however, is not intended to replace
the indexes found in the individual RSX-llM manuals.
An acronym printed in italic capital letters follows each entry in this index, and represents
the name of the manual in which the information can be found. Chapter and section number
references follow the acronym. Some entries are followed only by the chapter number(s), for
example:
PIP (Peripheral Interchange Program), UTL 4
This entry indicates that PIP is discussed throughout chapter 4 of the utilities manual.
Following is a list of the acronyms with the corresponding manual titles. (The
RSX-11M/RSX-11S Documentation Directory lists the order numbers for these manuals.)
