+I. Motivation
+
+ A teletype-compatible interface to UCSB's Online System (OLS) has
+ been implemented in accordance with the Telnet protocol adopted by
+ the NWG. This Server Telnet is responsive to connection requests
+ directed by User Telnet's to socket number 1, host address 3.
+ Although OLS is not a teletype system and although much of its power
+ as mathematical tool rests in its graphical display capabilities,
+ enough of the System survives the Telnet transformation to justify
+ such an implementation.
+
+
+
+White [Page 1]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+II. Limitations
+
+ In this Telnet-style implementation of OLS, all curvilinear display
+ generated by the user on Levels II and III, Real and Complex, is
+ disregarded by the System and hence not returned to the user through
+ the Net. The same is true of the display of special, user-created
+ characters. Although special characters may be constructed and
+ stored, their display will be suppressed, both during the process of
+ construction and later when they are invoked from the Type level.
+ All other display generated by the System will be relayed to the user
+ intact, in some cases with stylistic transformation having first been
+ applied. For example, Greek characters are displayed as lower-case
+ a-z. All such transformations are described in detail in this
+ document. Finally, those elements of the System (the operators which
+ edit user programs are prime examples) which assume a fixed-screen
+ display device function abnormally in a Telnet environment. For such
+ a device, the System can "remember" the position on the screen of a
+ previously displayed segment of text and return to that position to,
+ for example, underscore it. But when the "screen" marches forward --
+ relentlessly -- through a continuous medium, as it does with Telnet's
+ virtual teletype, that kind of strategy fails. Hence, the
+ underscoring is not relocated, but rather appears on the current
+ line, beginning in the next available character frame.
+
+ OLS assumes, normally, that the user is equipped with the specially-
+ designed double keyboard depicted in Figure 1. Conventions are
+ defined in this document, which enable a Telnet user to simulate that
+ keyboard; in particular, a means is provided for designating keys on
+ the upper, or operator keyboard.
+
+III. System Documentation
+
+ This document has three purposes:
+
+ Figure 1. OLS Keyboard. [Please view the PDF version of this RFC.]
+
+ (1) to describe the means by which a Telnet user simulates an OLS
+ keyboard,
+
+ (2) to describe the transformations applied to output generated by
+ the System, and
+
+ (3) to enumerate those aspects of the System, which are unique to or
+ behave differently for Network (Telnet) users.
+
+ In particular, this document is not a user's manual for OLS. Such a
+ manual is available and on file with the NIC. In addition, a copy
+ should exist at each Network site in its NIC collection; the user
+
+
+
+White [Page 2]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+ should consult his Station Agent. This document is titled "UCSB On-
+ Line System Manual" [NIC 5748]; its contents are current as of 1
+ January 71. A revision to the manual is currently in preparation and
+ will be distributed when available. In addition, tutorial manuals
+ for two of the subsystems available under OLS-MOLSF (Mathematically-
+ Oriented Language Single-Precision Floating-Point) and COL (Card
+ Oriented Language) -- will soon be made available. The latter has
+ already been published and is being transmitted to the NIC for
+ distribution, while the former is nearing completion.
+
+ Documentation of the third subsystem of OLS--NET-- has already been
+ distributed through the NIC as two RFC's: "Network On-Line Operators"
+ [21 April 71, RFC 121, NIC 5833] and "A User Telnet--Description of
+ an Initial Implementation" [9 August 71, RFC 206, NIC 7176]. Net
+ currently houses a set of operators for system-call-level interaction
+ with UCSB's NCP, a User Telnet, and an operator (invoked by ID on
+ Level II), which returns the status of Network hosts.
+
+ Staff members at the Computer Center will be happy to field questions
+ about OLS from Network users. In particular, an OLS consultant is
+ available for such purposes at (805) 961-4044. Questions about OLS,
+ including those specific to use of the System through the Network,
+ may also be addressed to Jim White, UCSB's Technical Liaison, at
+ (805) 961-3454 (if necessary, messages can be left at the Computer
+ Center Office, (805) 961- 2261).
+
+IV. System Access
+
+ The Network user is encouraged to explore the System and is invited
+ to do so with the following accounting parameters:
+
+ User Number: 196
+ Id Number: 57372
+ User Name: ARPA
+ Problem Name: (affiliation)-(name)
+ in 16 characters or less
+ (e.g., UCSB-White)
+
+ Such use of the System will not be billed. Production users are
+ asked to establish their own accounts with the Computer Center ((805)
+ 961-2261), the use of which will be billed in accordance with the
+ then-current rate structure.
+
+V. Software Structure
+
+ This document is the description of a Network front-end to the Online
+ System, logically distinct from OLS itself. This front-end is
+ hereafter referred to as NETOLS. NETOLS is always responsive to
+
+
+
+White [Page 3]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+ connection requests direct4ed to socket 1. When contacted by a
+ Network user, NTCLS performs the Network functions required to
+ establish a duplex connection to him. The number of such duplex
+ connections (and hence the number of Network users) is bounded by an
+ assembly parameter whose current value is five.
+
+ Before the Network connection is established, NETOLS secures for the
+ user a port into OLS. Sixty-four such ports exist and are shared by
+ local, dial-up, and Network users. Should none be available, NETOLS
+ will abort the connection sequence.
+
+ Once a port has been secured and a Network connection established,
+ NETOLS will effectively push the _SYST_ key for the user by
+ transmitting to OLS the 8-bit code representing that key. A login
+ sequence is thus initiated and the user is transmitted the lines:
+
+ UCSB ON-LINE SYSTEM
+ ENTER USER NUBMER
+
+ to which he should respond with his user number. Beginning at this
+ point in time and continuing for the life of the Network connection,
+ NETOLS's sole function is that of interpreter--interpreting input
+ from the user and making it meaningful to the user (it is at this
+ point, for example, that curvilinear and special-character display
+ are discarded).
+
+ When the user breaks his Network connection to NETOLS, if eh hasn't
+ logged out of OLS already, NETOLS performs that function for him by
+ pushing_ SYST_ _DOWN_, just as it pushed the initial _SYST_. The OLS
+ port acquired for the user is then released, and hence available for
+ use by other users. It should be noted that the user can log out of
+ OLS and back on again without the Network connection's being broken,
+ since that action is transparent to NETOLS, who attaches no special
+ significance to the Key sequence, which accomplishes it.
+
+VI. Virtual OLS Keyboard
+
+ A major function of NETOLS is to provide a mapping between elements
+ of the Telnet character set and the keys on an OLS keyboard (Figure
+ 1). The lower, or operand portion of that keyboard is fairly easily
+ represented, since it's similar to a standard typewriter keyboard.
+ Most of the keys on the lower keyboard are mapped on a one-for-one
+ basis from elements of the Telnet character set. Upper-case
+ alphabetics are mapped into the alphabetics, lower-case, and
+ miscellany of punctuation into itself. All such one-for-one mappings
+ are depicted in Figure 2. A line of that figure reads as follows:
+
+ For ['half arrow' - see the PDF version of this RFC]:
+
+
+
+White [Page 4]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+ The key labeled ['half arrow'] (meaning logical not) on the lower
+ portion of an OLS keyboard is struck by causing the user's User
+ Telnet to transmit '~' (tilde).
+
+ Those lower-keyboard keys not listed in Figure 2, and _all_ the keys
+ on the upper- keyboard (hereafter referred to collectively as _non-
+ standard_ keys), are represented by the Telnet user in the following
+ manner. For each such key, a character string has been defined; the
+ string is called the _name_ of the key. In most cases, the name of a
+ key is identical to its label in Figure 1. The name of the _SIN_
+ key, for example, is 'SIN (in the Online System User's Manual,
+ upper-keyboard keys are denoted by underscoring their labels, to
+ distinguish, for example, the key _SIN_ from the three keys 'SIN').
+
+ Every non-standard key on the OLS keyboard is struck by typing its
+ name (or any unique abbreviation thereof), preceded by a special
+ _prefix_ character and followed by a space.
+
+ NETOLS interprets the prefix, name, and space from them generates a
+ single, 8-bit code, which forwards to OLS.
+
+ The default prefix character is semi-colon (';'), chosen simply
+ because for touch typists it's one of the home keys. The prefix can
+ be changed by the user to any character listed in Figure 2. The
+ procedure for so doing is described in Section VII-B. To send the
+ prefix character through NETOLS to OLS, type it twice in succession.
+ Thus, if the default prefix is in effect, ';;' is mapped into a
+ single semi-colon and relayed to OLS.
+
+ The names of all non-standard keys are listed in Figure 3. A line of
+ that figure reads as follows:
+
+ For _SIN_:
+
+ They key denoted _SIN_ in the OLS User's Manual (the trigonometric
+ function sine) is named 'SIN', and hence is struck by typing
+ 'SIN', preceded by the prefix and followed by a space.
+
+ Assuming, then, that the default prefix ';' is in effect, SIN is
+ struck by ';SIN_' ('_' is used here and in following examples to
+ denote a space). Furthermore, if the user chooses, he may abbreviate
+ that as ';SI_', since the key desired remains uniquely identified.
+ Further abbreviation (to ';S_') is unsatisfactory and hence
+ disallowed since the single character 'S' is insufficient to
+ distinguish between a number of keys whose names begin with that
+ character. Key names may be typed by the user in either upper- or
+ lower-case.
+
+
+
+
+White [Page 5]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+ As each character of a non-standard key's name is typed by the user,
+ NETOLS consults it table of key names. If the character string so
+ far specified cannot possibly lead to a valid name, the most recent
+ character is ignored ('?' echoed). Hence, typing ';SJIN_' will be
+ accepted as _SIN_, the erroneous 'J' being ignored (and a question
+ mark echoed), and the subsequent 'JN_' accepted. If when the
+ terminating space is typed, no single key is uniquely identified a
+ '?' is echoed and the space ignored. Thus, ';S_I_' will be
+ recognized as _SIN_; the first space is

+
+ 1. Alternate names for [circle .], [circle +], [circle -], RETURN,
+ and [circle /] are 'MULT', 'ADD', 'SUBTRACT', 'RETURN', and 'DIV',
+ respectively. RETURN can also be represented as the single
+ character CR (carriage return), as indicated in Figure 2.
+
+ 2. An alternate name for [circle +] is '+'
+
+ 3. Alternates for BACK are the single characters BS (backspace) and
+ DEL (rubout), as indicated in Figure 2.
+
+ 4. An alternate name for [circle /] is 'DIV'.
+
+ 5. NETOLS commands are explained in Section VII.
+
+ 6. An alternate name for [circle .] is 'MULT'.
+
+ 7. An alternate for '[half arrow]' is the single character '~'
+ (tilde), as indicated in Figure 2.
+
+ 8. An alternate for '|' is the single character '[2 vertical lines]'
+ (vertical line), as indicated in Figure 2.
+
+ 9. An alternate name for RETURN is '.' RETURN can also be represented
+ as the single character CR (carriage return), as indicated in
+ Figure 2.
+
+ 10. An alternate name for [circle -] is '-'.
+
+ Notes for Figure 3.
+
+ Ignored (and a '?' echoed, indicating that 'S' alone is ambiguous).
+
+ At any point in the entry of a key name, either Altmode (ESC) or '?'
+ may be typed by the user. NETOLS will then determine whether a key
+ has been uniquely specified by the characters already typed. If so,
+ it will echo the remaining characters of the key's name, and consider
+ them entered by the user. A subsequent space from the user will
+ cause the indicated key to be pushed. If no single key is uniquely
+ specified, NETOLS will echo Bel, causing a bell to be run on many
+ terminals. More of the key name is then expected from the user.
+
+ If after at least one character of the key name has been entered by
+ the user and accepted by NETOLS (and before the terminating space is
+ typed) the prefix is typed a second time, all already entered
+ characters of the name are discarded by NETOLS. Thus ';CO;SIN_' is
+ interpreted as _SIN_. If a carriage return is typed in the same
+
+
+
+
+
+White [Page 9]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+ context, the initial prefix will also be discarded. Hence, ';CO%S'
+ ('%' denotes carriage return) is interpreted as the lower-keyboard
+ key 'S'.
+
+VII. NETOLS Commands
+
+ A number of commands to LETOLS are defined and all are described in
+ this section. The format for each such command is the same as that
+ for the non-standard keys, and hence the command keywords are
+ included in Figure 3. All of the conventions of Section VI apply as
+ well to the entry of commands. The user should understand, however,
+ that such commands are processed by NETOLS, not OLS, and that they
+ are defined only for Network users of OLS.
+
+A. HELP
+
+ The HELP command (invoked with ';HELP_' if';' is the prefix)
+ reproduces for the user the third column of Figure 3; the names of
+ all non-standard keys and the keywords for all defined NEOLS commands
+ are listed in their collating sequence on the user's virtual
+ teletype.
+
+B. PREFIX
+
+ Issuing the PREFIX command causes the next character typed to become
+ the prefix, provided it is one of those listed in Figure 2.
+ Consequently, ';PREFIX_@' makes '@' the prefix, '@PREFIX_;' restores
+ the defaults situation.
+
+C. SHIFT and UNSHIFT
+
+ The SHIFT command causes a perturbation of lines 2 and 3 of Figure 2.
+ After SHIFT is issued, all subsequent upper-case alphabetics are
+ mapped into the Greek characters (rather than into the alphabetics),
+ and lower-case alphabetics into alphabetics (rather than into the
+ Greek characters). This convention change may be found convenient if
+ the user's User Telnet sends lower-case alphabetics by default, and
+ requires, for example, that a shift key be held down to send upper-
+ case characters.
+
+ The UNSHIFT command nullifies the effect of SHIFT.
+
+D. FULLDUPLEX and HALFDUPLEX
+
+ Issuing the FULLDUPLEX command causes all subsequent characters typed
+ by the user to be echoed by _NETOLS_. HALFDUPLEX nullifies the
+ effect of FULLDUPLEX, disabling echo by NETOLS. Half-duplex is the
+ default situation.
+
+
+
+White [Page 10]
+
+RFC 216 Telnet Access To UCSB's On-Line System September 1971
+
+
+E. STATE
+
+ The STATE command causes the current prefix, the mode of operation
+ ('HALFDUPLX' or 'FULLDUPLEX'), and the case convention ('SHIFT IS ON'
+ or 'SHIFT IS OFF') to be displayed on the user's virtual teletype in
+ the following form:
+
+ PREFIX IS;
+ HALFDUPLEX
+ SHIFT IS OFF
+
+F. LOGOUT
+
+ Issuing the LOGOUT command causes the user to be logged out of OLS
+ (i.e., _SYST_ _DOWN_ to be pushed) and his Network connection to
+ NETOLS to be broken. About three seconds elapse between the two
+ events.
+
+VIII. OLS Display
+
+ NETOLS suppresses all but alphameric display before it reaches the
+ user. Alphameric display is mapped into the Telnet character set
+ according to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 lists all those OLS display
+ character, which have one-for-one mappings. A line of that figure
+ reads as follows:
+
+ For '[half harrow]'
+
+ The character logical not, displayed as '[half arrow]' on an OLS
+ terminal, is represented in Telnet as '~' (tilde).
+
+ Alphabetics are mapped into upper-case alphabetics and Greek
+ characters into lower-case alphabetics. Numerics are mapped into
+ numerics, and a miscellany of punctuation into itself. In addition a
+ number of carriage control characters are appropriately mapped-- line
+ feed down into LF, TAB into HT, BACK into BS, etc.; line feed up is
+ suppressed. ERASE is represented as Bel.
+
+ Figure 5 lists those OLS display characters which are mapped into
+ strings of Telnet characters. In most cases, these character strings
+ are stylistic representations of characters peculiar to OLS. For
+ example, the _ADD_ key is normally displayed in List mode as '[circle
+ +]'. In this Telnet implementation, '(+)' is an attempt to represent
+ that graphic. Superscripts are represented as underscored numerics.
+ Carriage return is represented as CR LF. No attempt is made to
+ effectively represent RS which, on an OLS display device, repositions
+ the beam to the upper left corner of the screen; it is made
+ equivalent to carriage return.

+ is done by OLS; the terminal never echoes. In general, OLS does not
+ echo the user's input. There are exceptions to this rule, but they
+ are relatively few in number and occur primarily on the SYST level.
+ In particular, upper keyboard keys are never echoed except in List
+ mode. The Network user is advised to instruct his telnet to operate
+ in full-duplex mode, i.e., to echo nothing. The FULLDUPLEX command
+ provided by NETOLS is provided because it can be provided, but its
+ use is not recommended.
+
+ OLS is meant to be used in character-at-a-time mode, and the user
+ should so instruct his User Telnet. For those users provided with
+ only a line-at-a-time mode, the end-of-line character should not be
+ transmitted to NETOLS.

+ detects in the input stream. Characters in the Telnet character set
+ which have no meaning to NETOLS are echoed as '?' and discarded.
+ Exceptions are LF (line feed) and NUL, which are flushed without
+ comment.

+X. Examples
+
+A. LOGON
+
+ The dialogue which logs a user onto OLS, assuming the user number of
+ Section IV, is as followings:
+
+ TELNET ENTRY OLS QUERY/RESPONSE
+
+ UCSB ONLINE SYSTEM
+ ENTER USER NUBMER (196)
+ 196% ID NUMBER=
+ 57372% USER NAME= (ARPA)
+ ARPA% JOB NAME= (UCSB-WHITE)
+ UCSB-WHITE% AUTOSAVE CODE = integer
+ MOLSF % LOAD (MOLSF)
+ FILE LOADED
+
+ In this and succeeding examples, '%' denotes CR (carriage return).
+ Entries echoed by OLS are enclosed in parentheses above. The user
+ should substitute for 'UCSB-WHITE' his own affiliation and name. The
+ procedure above loads the math subsystem of OLS. To load instead
+ either COL or NET, substitute its name for 'MOLSF'. To load a
+ different subsystem (say COL) after logging in:
+
+ TELNET ENTRY OLS QUERY/RESPONSE
+ ;SYST_ WORK AREAS UPDATED
+ ;LOAD _COL% LOAD (COL)
+ FILE LOADED
+
+ Again, '_' denotes a space, not an underscore.

+B. NEWTOWN-RAPHSON SQUARE ROOT APPROXIMATION
+
+ A simple user program can be constructed to approximate the square
+ root of a number N using the Newton-Rapshon iteration procedure,
+ which derives the (k+1)th approximation from the kth by the following
+ algorithm:
+
+ X k+1= (xk+n/kk)/2
+
+ The following entries construct the user program:
+
+ ;LIST_)TYPE_%ENTER_N
+ ;1_;REAL_;LOAD_;ENTER_;STORE_N
+ ;TYPE_% ENTER_FIRST_GUESS
+ ;1_;LOAD_;ENTER_;STORE_X
+ ;TYPE_%#_OF_INTERATIONS?
+ ;0_;LOAD_;ENTER_;STORE_N
+ ;1_;REPT_(;LOAD_N ;/_X;+_X ;/_2
+ ;STORE_X ; DISP_%/_X ;+_X ;/_2
+ ;LIST_;STORE_;USER_;1_;SQRT_
+
+ To display the user program, enter:
+
+ ;USER_;DISP_;SQRT_
+
+ When executed, the program obtains from the user the number N whose
+ square root is sought, an initial guess, and the number of iterations
+ to be performed. The program then computes and displays the results
+ of each iteration, and then calls itself, permitting a second square
+ root to be computed. The program is executed as follows:
+
+ TELNET ENTRY OLS QUERY/RESPONSE
+
+ ;USER_;1_;SQRT_ ENTER N
+ 3 ;ENTER_ ENTER FIRST GUESS
+ 1 ;ENTER_ #OF ITERATIONS?
+ 4 ;ENTER_ 2. +00
+ 1.75 +00
+ 1.73214+00
+ 1.73205+00
+
+ ENTER N
+ etc.

+
+C. Remote Job Entry
+
+ A file of card images can be constructed with the help of the COL
+ subsystem of OLS ard submitted as a batch job. Assuming COL has been
+ loaded, the following entries construct a card file which invokes the
+ Fortran compiler:
+
+ ;2_//jobname_JOB_(acct#,name , , , , , ,T) ; STORE_
+ //_EXEC_FORTGCLG ; STORE_
+ //FORT.SYSIN_DD_* ; STORE_
+ source-statement-1 ;STORE_
+
+ ...
+ source-statement-N ; STORE_
+ /* ; STORE_
+
+ To display the completed file, type:
+
+ ;3_;DISP_%
+
+ To submit the file, type:
+
+ ;4_;SUB_%
+
+ To watch for it in execution, type:
+
+ ;DISP_J%%%...
+
+ When execution is complete, 'printed' output can be retrieved with
+ the following dialogue:
+
+ TELNET ENTRY OLS QUERY/RESPONSE
+
+ ;CMPLX_;LOAD_ UNIT = (2314)
+ 2314% VOL=SER= (MVT180)
+ MVT180% DSNAME= (RJEOUT)
+ RJEOUT% MEMBER= (jobname)
+ Jogname% NOW LOADING
+ FILE LOADED
+
+ The output can then be examined by entering:
+
+ ;2_;DISP_1%%%...
