Subj: re: Possible problem with source control for kernel/io/dec/ws/pcxal.c
John, look what I discovered, looking into this more deeply...
No corrective action has been taken yet in the rcs pools to correct bco's
but it will be addressed early next week...
Thanks very much for alerting us to this. -josh

PPT, I don't know how important this "lost code" is relative to
platinum, someone knowledgeable about the component should track it
down. It at least needs to be addressed in steel.
Note: This has not yet been QAR'd, but I wanted to get it out now.
(I seem to no longer be able to login to gorge, and I couldn't
find the web page for qar submits, just viewing)
Abstract:
LANGUAGE AND KEYBOARD HANDLING SOURCE CHANGES INADVERTENTLY DROPPED
It has just been discovered that some work submitted on 5/31/94 was
inadvertently dropped from the pool as of platinum, in two files.
>From what I have been able to determine, three of the files listed in
srequest bl010/goldos-2375-jestabro, dated Apr 22 94, were resubmitted
on May 31 at 20:55GMT and at that time there was an ODE error of some sort
resulting in no submit log or SNAPSHOT file update in the goldos pool.
As a result of this, the "marking" of the GOLDOS_BL12 milestone was a
rev behind for these three files. One of them appears to have been
caught and at least partially fixed (fixed in PT but not the gold
SNAPSHOT) between PTOS_BL1 and BL2.
Below are the files affected and the submit comments reflecting the
work that was accidentally dropped in Platinum.
Note that these files have not changed since Gold through MP2, and,
while marked incorrectly, the correct file has been used in the builds
through MP2. The marking does need to be fixed, but only as of
Platinum, where the files were bco'd for edits, did the incorrect label
make any difference to the product.
These files are still missing the indicated submit in PTOS:
./kernel/io/dec/ws/lk201.c,v
> * Revision 1.2.12.5 1994/05/31 20:55:37 Jay_Estabrook
> * Do proper default handling for language and keyboard type.
> * Prevent extraneous informative messages during keyboard resets.
> * [1994/05/31 20:53:35 Jay_Estabrook]
./kernel/io/dec/ws/pcxal.c,v
> * Revision 1.1.11.9 1994/05/31 20:55:39 Jay_Estabrook
> * Make informative print permanent, in pcxal_bot_init().
> * [1994/05/31 20:53:44 Jay_Estabrook]
This one appears to have been caught between PTOS_BL1 & BL2, and
fixed for Platinum, but should still be checked in gold & support:
./kernel/data/pcxal_data.c,v
> * Revision 1.1.8.5 1994/05/31 20:55:26 Jay_Estabrook
> * Make "kb_getc" entry in pcxal_softc[0] be set to "pcxal_getc"; this
> * entry is used to process keyboard input *before* interrupts are
> * enabled, typically from "getchar" or "gets" calls.
> * [1994/05/31 20:53:21 Jay_Estabrook]
