This is a software overview manual for several software packages developed as part of the COMSYS computer teleconference system, an LSI-11 based communications system. The packages were intended to be general-purpose software, for use in other LSI-11 based systems besides COMSYS. This manual was written for a programer who might wish to use some or all of this software in developing such systems. Word-processing, small to medium data-base storage and query systems, microcomputer networks, and text exiting systems are examples of systems that might exploit this software. Each package is briefly discussed, and then how they may be used together in an LSI-11 based system is examined. The reader is assumed to be an experienced programer who is familiar with the LSI-11 computer and the RT-11 operating system. All of the packages were written in assembly language, and all of the user-interfaces are callable from Pascal programs. The packages are SADI (Serial Asynchronous Device Interface), FILLIB (File Library), QMSLIB (Queue Management System Library), UTLLIB (Utility Library, and ASNLIB (Asynchronous Library). There is a separate User's Guide for each of these 5 packages, which describes in detail the procedures and functions each provides. (RWR)
