Abstract: A system for diagnosing and correcting errors in remote data processing equipment is provided in which a remote data processor subject to an error condition has associated therewith disk, e.g., diskette storage means together with means for recording on said diskettes, data representing the status of the data processor under a particular error condition. The remote data processor further has associated therewith means for transmitting the status data stored on said diskette. First receiving means distant from the remote data processor receives the transmitted data and means associated with the receiving means reconstruct the diskette containing the error status data whereby this reconstruct diskette is now available for diagnostics at a point distant from said remote data processor.

Abstract: A data communications system to provide for the dynamic modification of a queue of documents arranged sequentially for transmission. An operator interacts with the send queue by making the send queue selection from a menu of communication request tasks on a display. Selection of the addition to the send queue option invokes a routine to add a send job. Operator selection of the display send queue option invokes a routine to display the send queue in the display for review of the current send queue and its status. A delete send job option invokes a routine to allow the operator to delete any job from the send queue except the one currently being sent. The select next send job option invokes a routine to allow the operator to start or restart the sending process from any point within the send queue.
