The E-type loader loads programs while the TPF system is in production. The TPF 4.1 system solves the interface problem that occurred during E-type loading in the TPF 3.1 system when there was a window of time in which both old and new versions of a program could be used.
E-type loader enhancements allow easier grouping, allocation, loading, manipulation, and display of programs and loadsets. A loadset groups programs under a unique name so that the E-type loader can perform functions on all the programs at the same time. In TPF 3.1 systems, only 25 programs could be loaded at a time. However, in TPF 4.1 systems, your installation can determine the number of loadsets and the number of programs in the loadsets. A rules database also allows your installation to tailor the way the E-type loader processes under certain circumstances.
