 ==== Create new COMPLR (lisp compiler) ====
 <code>:lisp comlap;ccload</code>
-==== Patch INQUIR (since full sources aren't available) ====
+===== Update INQUIR =====
+There are two approaches you can take.
+  - You can patch INQUIR (doesn't require any additional assets)
+  - You can rebuild INQUIR from sources (requires some additional assets for which an ITS tape image exists)
+==== Updating INQUIR via source code changes ====
+In order to be able to build INQUIR from sources, you will need various dependent files that were not included in the public (PI) ITS distribution. These files include:
+| reader 28 | (Kent Pitman (KMP) provided this source) |
+| fake-s 28 | (found on the Internet) |
+| lsrrtn 31 | (found on the Internet) |
+| netrtn fasl | (found on the internet; FASL only; no source) |
+You can find these files, in the collection of files found on the newinquire.tps tape image that can be downloaded here:  http://swenson.org/newinquire.tps. You will need to load this tape onto your ITS system, which will result in these additional files being added/modified in your INQUIR; directory:
+<code>
+fake-s.28    fake-s.unfasl  inquir.182   inquir.unfasl  lsrrtn.fasl  reader.28    reader.readme  -read-.-this-
+fake-s.fasl  inqbin.182     inquir.fasl  lsrrtn.31      netrtn.fasl  reader.fasl  reader.unfasl
+</code>
+The PI distribution should have contained INQUIR 181 and this tape adds the file INQUIR 182. The difference
+between these two versions are:
+  - added definition for ES ITS machine (you will need to add your machine name here)
+  - changed reference to TURNIP; READER to INQUIR; READER
+  - changed reference to SPACY; FAKE-S to INQUIR; FAKE-S
+  - changed reference to SPACY; LSRRTN to INQUIR; LSRRTN
+  - changed reference to SPACY; NETRTN to INQUIR; NETRTN
+In order to build INQUIR 182 from source, follow these steps:
+  * compile READER '':complr inquir; reader''
+  * compile FAKE-S '':complr inquir; fake-s''
+  * compile LSRRTN '':midas inquir;_inquir;lsrrtn''
+Update INQUIR; INQUIR 182 to add your ITS machine name. Write out your changed INQUIR as INQUIR >
+  * compile INQUIR '':complr inquir;inquir''
+  * dump out a new INQUIR; INQBIN > '':lisp inquir;inquir (dump)''
+Verify that the link INQUIR; TS INQUIR points to the new INQUIR; INQBIN >.  If it doesn't, update it so that it does.
+Your INQUIR should now be updated with the new machine name.
+==== Patch INQUIR (if you didn't rebuild as above) ====
 The first patch (starting with "qai") is to change the value of (STATUS SITE) which is used as default "network-address" field. The second line (starting with "udirse+7") is to patch an immediate sixbit value of AI, so it's really important that you get the three spaces right.

 **IF you have users without homedirs**, update ''INQUIR;DMUNCH >'' with your local host tables (copy MD's entries), compile it as directed in the file, and force INQUPD to update the database (e.g. by changing something insignificant) in order for ''DIRS BIN'' to be included in ''LSR1 1''.
 ===== Notes after going through all this =====
 If you write new programs, **never** use hardcoded data if you can avoid it at all. Read a config file, or construct data on-the-fly. To find the names of local ITSes, read .GETSYS ITSNMS. You can find silly examples in *LISP, which uses a hardcoded list of machine names in order to convert from sixbit to atom. Why not use the SIXATM routine to create the atom on-the-fly? (There may possibly be reasons, such as other MIDAS code using QMX as the known address of 'MX. I'll see when I try it.)
