A PROGRAM LIBRARY SYSTEM FOR THE PDP-8 COMPUTER USING IBM-COMPATIBLE MAGNETIC TAPE

摘要

This system enables the user to create a large library of programs for the PDP-8 computer which can be written on and called off IBM tape by name from the tele¬type. It also includes high-speed and low-speed BIN and RIM paper tape loaders, which are also called in from the teletype. The entire system uses only the last page of memory.nPrograms may be subdivided into several records on tape, each with the same name. When a program is called, all records with that label are loaded into core. This makes it possible to modify, correct, or add to programs by adding records of the same name to the library.
