[Hardhats-port-discuss] Getting Routines from DTM to GT.M

GT.M works with each MUMPS routine as a separate file.  This actually leads
to conveniences in terms of version control, patching, etc.  Here is a
subroutine I wrote to output DTM routines to a file directory, let's say
"C:\mymumps\RSAVE\".  Then I just FTP from that directory to my GT.M target
system, and don't have to worry about GT.M's intake routine %RI.  The
file-transfer process must retain the case of the file name, with its ".m"
extension.

        ;
OUT     ;
        S PATH="C:\mymumps\RSAVE\"
        X ^%ZOSF("RSEL")
        W !! S X=0 F  S X=$O(^UTILITY($J,X)) Q:X=""  D
        .O 10:("W":PATH_X_".m")
        .U 10 F T=1:1 S L=$T(+T^@X) Q:L=""  W L,!
        U $P Q
