Alternative Program to PILEDIT for Generating an AFOS TRANS File

摘要

The program KEYSADD is a Real-Time Disk Operating System (RDOS) (Data GeneralCorporation 1974 and 1978) background utility intended as a supplement to the PILEDIT which is an Automation of Field Operations and Services (AFOS) (National Weather Service (NWS 1989a, 1989b, and 1994) command). Like PILEDIT, KEYSADD allows for the addition, deletion, and modification of AFOS keys by creating a file named 'TRANS' (Blackburn 1987). NWS modernization during the newt few years will require that a substantial number of changes be made to the AFOS database. KEYSADD will facilitate in making these changes.
