LAP6Use of the Stucki-Ornstein Text Editing Algorithm.

摘要

An algorithm which runs on a 2048-word LINC provides efficient editing of character strings virtually unlimited in length. Fixed address LINC tape holds the character sequence in the manner of a scroll. Edited characters are spliced directly in or out of the scroll as it moves across a display scope under the viewer's control. A 512character playground created at the splice point provides sufficient ease to permit changing the scroll contents dynamically,and thereby simplifies several problems commonly associated with on-line editing. Compensatory inserting and deleting are practical. Inserted characters require no special identification and scroll maintenance is automatic. Editing commands and editorial text identifiers are eliminated,and the number of characters which can be inserted anywhere is limited only by the length of the scroll. (Modified author abstract)
