General Information
1.1 How to Use this Catalog
This catalog is divided into four sections:
Section I, General Information, provides details about ordering, payment, who to contact within
DECUS, policy on returns, and other policy and procedural information.
Section 2, Abstracts, is sub-divided into two parts, PDP-II and RSTS-II. Each include program
descriptions and respective Media/Price Codes in sequential order by DECUS Order Number.
Note: It is essential to designate the applicable Section when ordering from the Catalog, e.g.
order "RSTS-II-123" or "PDP-I 1-23."
Section 3, Standards, lists and describes all the Digital Equipment Corporation Software
Standards and other documentation related to standards such as programming conventions and
guidelines available through DECUS.
Section 4, Indexes, contains three indexes; the Alphabetical Index lists all programs alphabetically by title, the Category Index lists all programs by program type (see first page of index for
list of categories), and the Operating System Index lists programs by operating system (see first
page of index for list of systems.)
1.1.1 General Catalog Information
The DECUS Library requests that all inquiries concerning DECUS programs be communicated
in writing and forwarded to the DECUS Marlboro office, not to the authors/submitters. DECUS
will request assistance from the responsible author/submitter, assuming they are available.
Requests for multiple catalogs will be honored, but a nominal service charge will apply. Contact
your Chapter office if you require additional catalogs.
Editor's Note: The following DECUS programs have been added since the. last version of the
PDP-II Catalog:
DECUS 11-330 thru 11-362

DECUS. DECUS order processing and accounting functions are completely separate from Digital
Equipment Corporation. Do not combine DEeUS orders with Digital Equipment Corporation
orders.
Please do not request that DIGITAL field personnel place a DECUS order for you. This may delay
direct response from DECUS.
vi
General Information
All service charges quoted in this catalog are in U.S. Dollars. A $2.00 invoice charge is added to all
orders that are not prepaid. (This is subject to change without notice.)
Users outside the United States and Canada should make payment in local currency and forward to
the local Chapter office. Overseas users should allow a minimum of eight weeks for delivery.
Users in the United States and Canada should make payment in U.S. dollars to DECUS and forward
to Marlboro. In the U.S., please allow three to six weeks for delivery. In Canada, allow approximately
six weeks for delivery.
1.4 DECUS Coupons
Because of the difficulties encountered by many installations in obtaining purchase orders for small
amounts, DECUS coupons may be ordered for any amount and used as subsequent payment for
DECUS orders. Coupons are available from your DECUS Chapter office. They are supplied in $1,
$5, and $10 denominations as DECUS No. 0051. Payment for DECUS coupons must be made in
ADVANCE. Purchase orders for coupons must be paid before coupons may be redeemed for
DECUS material. DECUS coupons may not be used as payment for DECUS symposia fees.
1.5 Return Policy
Tapes may not be returned for credit. It is therefore important that the correct media be specified at
the time the order is placed. For further information, see the Program Distribution Methods section
of this catalog (Section 1.8).
The DECUS Library reproduces user programs and documentation and distributes them essentially
at cost. Occasionally, the medium or copying procedure may be faulty and flawed copies may be
inadvertantly distributed. DECUS is working to minimize these problems and encourages users to
return faulty copies so that the source of the error may be traced. Accordingly, the following policies
have been established to serve as guidelines:
Any copy of a DEeUS Library program that is unreadable on the distributed medium will be
replaced by DECUS at no charge if returned, with a written explanation, within 60 days of
receipt. This includes orders which are filled incorrectly by DECUS staff (e.g., wrong program),
copied incorrectly, or copied to flawed medium.
Users who specify the wrong program, media, or format on their order form must bear the cost
of reordering.
Neither refunds nor exchanges will be granted for programs which were copied correctly but
which do not fulfill the user's needs. Conversion of sources or media format for use on different
computers or different operating systems is the responsibility of the person ordering or receiving
the item. Please note that most media formats are not compatible with all operating systems.
DECUS would appreciate being informed if users consider a program abstract (in the catalog)
to be misleading.
Refunds (in cash or DEeus coupons) will not be issued under any circumstances.
1.6 Documentation
"A" and "D" coded documents (see Section 1.7.1 for code definitions) are distributed automatically
with no additional charge for individual programs when the program tape is ordered. However, if
the cost of the "A" or "D" coded document exceeds 15% of the media service charge, the service
charge for the corresponding tape or disk will be increased to reflect the cost of the documentation.
Manuals, designated by an "E" code with an abstract, are not distributed automatically. A service
charge will apply whether or not the program tape or disk is ordered.
Documentation may be requested without media. A service charge as indicated by the documentation price code that accompanies the abstract will apply.
vii
General Information
1.7 Media
Media on which specific programs are available is indicated by the first letter of the media/price code
in the Abstract Section of this Catalog.
Note: Due to recurring problems with user supplied media, the DECUS Program Library no longer
accepts orders to copy programs onto user tapes and disks.
1.7.1 Media/Price Codes
The media/price codes are alpha-numeric. The letter indicates the medium on which the product can
be supplied (see following table). The number(s) specify the actual service charge for the item in U.S.
dollar currency. For example: H32 indicates a program available on DECtape at a service charge of
$32.00.
Prices quoted in this catalog will be valid until 1 July 1979, unless, due to extreme circumstances,
DECUS must adjust them prior to this date. Changes in pricing or availability may occur at any
time. Please consult DECUSCOPE and the various newsletters for changes in Library information,
pricing, and policy.
Documentation on Media, if listed with an abstract, indicates that the documentation is included with
the program on the media.

1.8 Program Distribution Methods
Programs in the DECUS PDP-II Library may be obtained:
As individual programs on DECtape, paper tape, or floppy diskette. Only those programs
specified as available on DECtape may be obtained on DECtape. If you would like to see
specific DECUS programs made available on other media we need your assistance. If a program
is not specified as available on the media you require, please contact the DECUS Library before
ordering to confirm whether DECUS can or cannot copy the program onto the media you
require.
As library tapes which are complete segments of the Library packed onto magnetic media. For
availability of Library packages, see Section 2.2, pages 69 and 70.
Note: DECUS does not have the facilities at this time to custom pack mUltiple programs onto all
magnetic media.
DECUS will not accept returned tapes for credit or exchange; therefore, it is important that the
correct media requirements be specified at the time the order is placed. For further information,
please refer to the Return Policy Section of this catalog (Section 1.5).
1.9 Cross-System Index
An index of most DECUS Library programs that are written in higher level languages (includes the
12-bit, PDP-II, RSTS-1I, and DEC-IO/20 libraries) is available from the DECUS Library for $5.00
U.S. The program languages included are APL, ALGOL, BASIC, COBOL, DIBOL, FOCAL,
FORTRAN, LISP, PL/I, SNOBOL, and TECO.
The programs are listed alphabetically by language, program title, and subject keywords. This index
provides an easy reference guide for users who are looking for programs for particular applications.
Note: The Cross-System Index does not include program abstracts or media/price information. To
order the Cross System Index, order DECUS number 11-999.

It could be adapted to 96 words of ROM to serve as bin loader for all
devices. Such an arrangement would require no bootstrap, free additional
core space, obtain continual use of the ROM (not just an occasional
boot) and when used as an automatic boot, it would get the system back
on the air faster.

Abstract:
Abstract:
tute, Reader/Punch, Line Printer
This is a DECtape copy routine which operates under the
PDP-II Disk Monitor System. It is useful for generating exact duplicates
of DECtapes for backup or distribution.
An initial dialogue establishes the drive numbers for the original and
the copy, and allows the user the option of verifying the copy. Information is then transferred, a buffer-load at a time, from the original to the
copy. To verify the copy, the routine will reread both the original and the
copy after each transfer, and compare the two word-for-word. If an error
is found, up to five attempts will be made to recopy and reverify the
information before typing an error message. I/O errors will also force five
retries before an error message is given. 8K and 12K versions are
included on the tape.
This PDP-II Datapoint Editor is equally adapted for creating programs or plain text. It has the usual features of append, insert,
delete, change, punch, read tape, and make a hard copy. The program
operates on the whole text, which resides in core, and two pointers are
used to control the operations. Commands are available to move the
pointers by lines or by characters. A search command is available which
will locate an arbitrary string, after which one or both of the pointers may
be positioned at either end of the string. The program is readily adaptable
to other hardware configurations including communications lines to other
computers. The interface to the datapoint terminal is a DC-II-AC.

With this package the user can control certain CRT and Hard Copier
functions from the keyboard. He also can command lOX to initiate a
hard copy of the CRT automatically each time the screen fills. There are
no special provisions for graph mode. However, the graph may be utilized
through the unformatted binary mode.
Several other small changes have been made which are discussed under
the section on non-related changes.

Abstract:
EDDY is a modification to the EDITII (Editor) program
which will display portions of the Editor's ASCII buffer on a CRT. Only
minor modifications were incorporated into EDIT 11 so that all EDITII
commands have been preserved, and all modifications are invisible to the
user. EDDY may be used without the CRT with no obvious differences
to the user. With the CRT connected, 70 characters are displayed on the
screen, 10 preceding 'dot' and 60 following it. In addition, facilities are
provided for a quick scan of the entire ASCII buffer.
Note: EDITIl.OBJ (modified) and DISTXT.PAL also provided
on DT should user wish to make modifications. Modification

Abstract:
Documentation and Source files for the routines listed below
are available on one DECtape. The write-up available from DECUS
describes the groupings on the tape and explains them more fully than the
brief abstracts listed here.
1. Subroutines for plotting lines, graphing, and writing alphanumeric
text on the VTOI storage display, from the NAL Bison package, with
modifications for PDP-ll/45 use, are provided, with FORTRAN-Callable interfaces.
2. Two games, DOTS and SPACEWAR, both written in FORTRAN
IV, are provided. In SPACEWAR, two humans play, using the VTOI in
non-store mode as a display of the positions of their rockets with respect
to the sun, each other, and all torpedoes on the board. In DOTS, a human
plays against the computer. The VTOI is used in store mode, and plotting
and text routines in package 1 are illustrated. Advantages and limitations
of the machine's heuristic strategy, and of prediction of results in certain
situations, are shown.
3. A set of functions and subroutines is provided which can be inserted
in a system FORTRAN library, giving FORTRAN the capability of
performing all Boolean logic operations of one or two variables directly
on integers, of finding addresses of arguments, of word shifts and
rotations, and of finding the contents of any part of memory. In addition,
a pair of routine packages, one DOS-oriented, the other stand-alone, but
both FORTRAN-callable is provided to allow direct access to magnetic
tape, outside the usual DOS-II file label and record length conventions.
(This is handy for talking to other kinds of computers.)
4. A VTOI-using editor is supplied. It is a modified EDIT-ll VOO6A in
which all commands are preserved, but which displays 10 characters
before dot to 60 after dot on the VTOI storage display, when the switclles
on the console are not all zero. When they are all zero, slow stepping of
the display through the entire text buffer, 60 characters at a time starting
at dot, is provided. Normal operation resumes when I or more switches
are raised.
5. A set of FORTRAN-callable functions to provide scatter plots, line
graphs, or generalized graphs on the Versatec (II " wide) printer-plotter is
provided. These drive the plotter in stand-alone, non-interrupt mode to
activate any nib in the write head under control of the calling routines.

11-110
Floating Point Processor
Author: Kenneth B. Wiberg
Department of Chemistry, Yale University, New Haven, CT
Source Language: MACRO-II
Special Hardware Required: PDP-I 1/45 with FPU
Abstract:
This is a set of routines for input/output, square root,
trigonometric and exponential functions which are designed for convenient interfacing with assembly language main programs. The floating
point routines use ACO to transmit the argument and operate in the
precision of the calling program (i.e. single or double). The input/output
routines are designed for flexibility. Thus, the floating point input routine
accepts both F and E format input and takes any non-numerical
character other than +, -, . or E as a terminator. The F format output
routine gives an E format output if the number is too large for the field
specification.
The I/O routines are monitor independent in order to provide maximum flexibility and eliminate the need to set up link-blocks, file-blocks,
etc. If desired, they could easily be interfaced into the DOS monitor.

Special Hardware Required: Incremental Plotter optional
This package contains macros, subroutines, and free-standing programs selected from the results of nearly two years' intensive
assembly-language programming for the PDP-II. Most have been in
error-free use for many months. Most will run in any PDP-II DOS
hardware configuration.
In all, the package comprises two macro library files, two object
module library files, 44 MACRO-II source files, and seven relocatable
object files (for generation of free-standing programs). The two pair of
library files provide for systems with and without a KE-IIA extended
arithmetic element.
Each of the two macro libraries contain approximately 40 macro
definitions among which are macros that do the following: (I) push to or
pop from the system stack any number of words or bytes that can be
specified in the call, (2) simulate the integer multiply and divide instructions of the 11/40 and 11/45, (3) generate FORTRAN IV compatible
subroutine calls in which argument lists may include a variety of
addressing modes, (4) generate Link Blocks, File Name Blocks, and Line
Buffer Headers, and (5) provide convenient linkages to subroutines
contained in the object module libraries.
The object module libraries contain more than 30 modules each. These
include modules for controlling an incremental plotter which are described separately below. Other modules include the following: (I) one
that provides the assembly-language programmer with an output formatting capacity similar to FORTRANs, (2) two that provide alternate
means of obtaining free-format input to FORTRAN programs, (3) a
module that supports simple input/output macros to control the console
terminal, (4) a module that performs the variety of input, output, and
internal operations required to accept integer input values, check that
each is in the range of acceptable values, and store checked values in
structured arrays, (5) efficient FORTRAN subroutines to find the minimum, maximum, or both in an array of integers, and (6) a number of
simple arithmetic subroutines that extend the assembly-language programmer's arithmetic power.
Ten of the modules in each object module library have to do with the
control of an incremental plotter such as the Calcomp Model 565.
Although these modules have been written for and tested with a
particular plotter and a particular interface design, they may be of greater
interest. All physical output is from a single module which can be
adapted to a different plotter or interface to make the remaining modules
immediately available for use. Plotter modules may be called from

Author: G. Everhart
11-117
Abstract: This is a driver for a teletype compatible terminal without
paper tape. It will work on DOS V08 or later, and allow programs to do
input and/or output to extra teletypes.
TY will correctly interpret CR and LF, ignore vertical tab, and echo
form feed as line feed. Horizontal tabs are echoed as single spaces. Other
control characters echo as up-arrow followed by the correct non-control
character. The monitor buffer is used for I/o, so type-abeads are not
possible. However, the driver is made small by this.

The basic electrical element is the branch which must include, at most,
one passive element, which may be either a resistor, capacitor, or
inductor. This branch may also include a current source, a voltage source,
or a transconductor (a voltage-controlled current source).
As all the operator inputs are position free, the program is still very
useful to the electrical engineer who is a novice at computer programming.

Author: R. J. Gehrke and R. C. Davies
Aerojet Nuclear Company, Idaho Falls, ID
Source Language: FORTRAN IV
Special Hardware Required: 16K PDP-II with Disk and DECtape
Abstract:
X-RAY is an on-line, FORTRAN program for the automatic electron microanalysis of silicates and oxides. It is written for a PDP-II
computer having 12K of core in addition to disk, drum or magnetic tape
storage. Energy dispersive x-ray data is acquired with a Si(Li) spectrometer mounted on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or an electron
microprobe. The data is transferred from the acquisition instrument
through an interface to the PDP-II computer for on-line processing or is
stored on paper tape or magnetic tape for later batch processing. X-RAY
automatically locates the x-ray peaks in a spectrum, determines the
elements associated with the x-ray peaks and calculates their relative
abundances through a least-squares fit of the spectrum with spectra of
element oxide standards (i.e., components). In this application of leastsquares fitting, the component spectra are obtained from the electron
excitation of simple oxide standards whenever possible or from multielement oxide or silicate standards. The contributions of each component
spectrum are expressed as ratios of composite to component spectrum.
Finally, the ratios are corrected for matrix effects to yield the percent
concentration of each element oxide in the sample. The appendices
include a descriptive program handbook for the user, a list of the
program commands with their functions, the link modules, the format
requirements for data to be input to the computer, a detailed flow chart
of the program and a complete program listing.

RSX-11D Task Package
Author: Robert H. Douglas
General Electric Company, Louisville, KY
Operating System: RSX-IID
Source Language: MACRO-II
Abstract:
11-157
A. ODT Initiate Task-The ODT Initiate Task is used to
initiate the On-Line Debug and Test routine in a task that has suspended
unexpectedly, is running out of control, or does not have any breakpoints. The task is useful for regaining control over programs in tests that
have run wild.
The ODT initiate function is identical to the "SET" function described
in the Version I release of RSX-llD but never implemented.
B. Print Task Status Program-STATUS is a task that outputs
information as to the current status or any task in the system. The
program lists the task's running status (OFF, RUN, CHECKPOINTED,
etc.), the pool usage, and AST and Send Data message status. For active
tasks the priority, partition name, I/O usage, and event flags are also
output.
STATUS differs from the DEC-supplied ACT function in that only
one task status is listed and the output format is more readable.
C. File Change Program-This program allows alterations to the
contents of a file one word at a time. Data may be input in octal, decimal,
ASCII, or as Radix-50 characters. The program has a special mode for
patching task-image files, that allows the user to address task virtual
addresses and not be concerned with file headers or block boundaries.
(However, the program does not properly address overlays.)

Abstract:
A library of four (4) programs that when run on a UNIVAC
1108 or 1110 allows a user to generate or read a 9-track magtape in either

FILES. These programs will handle ASCII files only-binary files cannot
be handled.
The source for the four (4) programs comes as a card deck ready to be
run on a UNIVAC with only the addition of a @RUN card. This deck,
when run, creates a new file USER *FILE. into which is put the source
listings for the four (4) main programs and six (6) subroutines, their

input or output for running programs or issuing DOS keyboard commands. True catalogued procedures are available, with the ability to pass
arguments and do things conditionally based on the arguments, to detect
compiler/assembler/linker errors, and to use crash control files without
any changes to DOS. The MFr program permits full timesharing under
DOS for two users, each of whom has a fixed area of the machine, and
each of whom may use catalogued procedures. Initial dialogue specifies
the boundary of the areas, and it may be fully automated by placing
replies in a file.
SY:LIMPRT.MFr in the 1,1 area. Timesharing is initiated by running
MFr, and a simple exit command may restore normal DOS. System
security may be achieved for novice users through assignments which
limit system access unless users know the correct passwords to log in
under PCP or MFT. Or installations may define whatever procedures
they like to speed their work. Error protection is fairly comprehensive,
and support for real-time tasks in one partition operating simultaneously
with normal DOS operation in the other is provided. There are no
differences in the privileges of the two partitions, however, so MFr can
support timesharing for any purpose; it is in that sense more general than
either RT-ll or RSTS. Note that 16K is a realistic minimum core size for
timeshared operation; PCP can run profitably in 12K. Both procedures
and normal DOS keyboard-style operation are available, with a few extra
console commands. Conditional assemblies support EAE or the 11/45
FPU options if present. Since MFT and PCP only use the EMT vector,
all other interrupt vectors are available as under DOS, and DOS
programs run without change under MFr, including system programs
like EDIT, PIP, and FORTRAN and LINK.

disk which already has MFD, UFD and Bitmaps on it. It relies on the
previous existence of the MFD and Bitmaps for its operation. It will list
file-structure problems and optionally fix Bitmaps and zero unused
regions of the disk.
Restrictions: Works on any disk, up to 65K blocks-does not
work on DECtape

Abstract: MEMSEG is a memory diagnostic for the PDP-I 1/40 and
PDP-ll/45 computers. The tests utilize the memory management unit
(which must be installed) of the computer to check any 4K bank of
memory from 4K to 120K corresponding to bank numbers I to 36. After
loading and starting, the operator types in the number of the bank to be
tested. Notification is given of a bank which does not exist, and the entire
diagnostic may be run without detailed knowledge of the program. There
are currently four tests in MEMSEG.
Restrictions: Tests only 4K-I23K (Banks 1-36); Cannot test bank

locating and altering the areas within a DIBOL-8 users program which
are not compatible with the requirements of the DIBOL-II compiler.
Error-free DIBOL-8 programs are translated into programs that, with
minor modifications, are capable of running under COS 350. The DIBOL
TRANSLATOR cannot, however, perform as an automatic converter,
nor can it correct program errors. Rather, the translator serves as a means
of discovering the inconsistencies between the two languages, eliminating
them (where possible), and notifying the user that certain areas may
require further work on his part.

Abstract: MRMLIB is a personal collection of subprograms which can
be called by FORTRAN programs and which can also be written in
FORTRAN. The principal aim in setting up this library has been to
establish a reasonably portable set of subprograms which carry out
operations that would otherwise be continually rewritten. Thus, many of
the routines in this library perform simple (even trivial) tasks. Two strong
secondary aims are to establish a standard set of interfaces which are
inherently more portable than the routines, and to establish proven
subprograms for non-trivial operations particularly in the numerical area.
No guarantee as to the correctness or efficiency of any routine can be
given but generally the routines will have been used to a degree that
should allow some confidence in them.

Abstract:
This plot package consists of five MACRO-II source modules containing FORTRAN callable routines which implement plotting
operations on a Digital Incremental Plotter. A FORTRAN source tape
for a demonstration program is also included. The subroutines in the
foundation module handle interrupt driven vector plotting, origin resetting, vector scaling, dotted line plotting, and Y-motion limiting to prevent
loss of origin. In addition, a subroutine is provided which will implement
a circular buffer to buffer the plot vectors. The other modules contain
utility subroutines which call the subroutines in the first module. A small
lettering routine containing 64 characters is provided for use where core
space is restricted. A more sophisticated symbol plotting subroutine exists
which has a 157 character repertoire and is expandable to many times
that number. It presently contains upper and lower case Roman and
Greek alphabets and standard math symbols. An axis plotting subroutine
is included which will plot a linear or logarithmic coordinate axis at an
arbitrary angle.

TRACE.MAC/TR.MAC

Author: Michael N. LeVme
Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, CA
Operating System: RT-II V2
Source Language: MACRO-II
Abstract:
TRACE/TR are meant as debugging tools for writing assembly language programs. When implemented and directed to do so,
either program will, upon completion of execution of an instruction in a
section of code being traced, print out the location in memory of that
instruction, its mnemonic and arguments as well as the contents of all
registers and memory locations referred to. They then return to the traced
program for the next instruction. The resulting output is a listing of
exactly what instructions were executed and what happened because of it.
TRACE. MAC is a subroutine that must be linked in with the program
to be traced and be initialized by it.
TR.MAC is a pseudo device driver that is assembled and linked to
TR.SYS, entered into the monitor device driver tables. The user does not
have to link it into the main program each time.
Both versions can be modified to direct their output to the LP: rather
than the console device.

Abstract:
LIB.FOR is a concatenated series of FORTRAN source
modules for a variety of useful utility routines. They are intended to be
built into the user library, although they can be separated out into
separate subroutines. SORTR, SORTI, SORTB, and SORTW are a series
of similar routines which provide very rapid sorts of arrays of real
numbers, intergers, byte ASCII characters, and word ASCII characters
(AI), respectively. They all use the monkey puzzle tree sort technique.
SHELL and SHELLR are a pair of relatively fast in-place sort routines
for integers and real numbers, respectively. All sort routines can also be
used under DOS. CAD is a subroutine which implements the CAD
function of the VT05 terminal, allowing the program to place the cursor
anywhere on the screen. JDATE, KDA TE, and LDATE provide manipulation for a Julian date in the same format that DOS uses; this is more
useful for many purposes than the standard R T -11 system date word.

Abstract:

RENUM is intended to provide two useful services for the

produce a cross-reference table of all the variable names used in the
source file showing all line numbers where each occurs. Either or both of
these services along with a listing of the source code can be produced.
The two functions are completely independent. Control is by means of
terminal-entered command strings following the standard RT-ll rules.
Input files (up to 6 per command line) can be on any disk device and
output files can be directed to any device. When renumbering, a new disk

Abstract: This program is used for maintaining file documentation in
the form of annotated and updatable disk file directories. It requests from
the user the names of three files:
(1) Old tagged directory-This is a directory previously created by this
program which one wishes to update (or if creating a new tagged file, this
can be most anything). Previously assigned tags are transferred from here
to the new tagged directory.
(2) PIP Directory-This is a disk directory produced by PIP. This
directory is used to update the old tagged directory by reflecting added
or deleted files and newer versions of old ones.
(3) New Tagged Directory-This is the updated tagged directory
produced by TAGFIL.
For every file in the PIP directory, the old tagged directory is searched.
If a tag exists for the file, it is copied into the new tagged directory. If not,
a tag for the file is requested from the terminal.

Abstract: This program allows users (currently only two) at different
terminals to time-share a PDP-II in a DOS-II environment. Memory can
be partitioned as desired and various PDP-II options specified at
MUDII assembly. MUDII allows terminal type ahead at all times and
the MUD II commands include the commonly used DOS-II commands.
Revision a: The original MUDII was written in a piecemeal fashion,
the new version is more integrated and has less code. The EMf processor
was almost completely rewritten, making it faster and much less susceptable to crashes. Several new features have been added, notably the
message command and the handling of AOO2 and AOO3 errors. Overall
the system is now faster and much more reliable.
Restrictions: Has been tested only on PDP-ll/20 and PDP-ll/45

Special Hardware Required: Disk, DECtape, or industry compatible magnetic tape
Abstract: FORTH is a self-contained programming system that has
become popular in scientific applications requiring interactive control
and data acquisition. The system supports a high-level structured language using reverse Polish notation; it contains an incremental compiler,
an assembler, and a text editor. FORTH maintains a direct-access file on
disk, DECtape, or pre-formatted industry magnetic tape. The programs
submitted allow FORTH to be generated on an RT-ll system to run
under RT -II or to run stand-alone using disk or magnetic tape. The user
may select versions that use the EIS Of EAE options. A DECsystem-IO
version (DECUS 10-241) is available.

Abstract: This program is an adaptation of RSTSll-76 by Susan
Lewis. It has been rewritten for RT-ll and MU BASIC.
CYCLES formats a biorhythm chart for printing on either a user
terminal or a line printer. Output may be directed to any legal RT-II
device. The output requires a wide carriage printer or terminal (such as
LA36).
The biorhythms are calculated by methods which assume birth and
current dates to be between January I, 1901 and December 31, 1999.
For brevity the program always prints a 31 day chart, regardless of the
actual length of the month.

Abstract: OSCAR is a program which converses reasonably intelligently with the user via teletype. It will answer questions or make a
relevant comment in approximately 95% of cases. OSCAR will not tackle
arithmetic but usually types an appropriate comment about the problem.
The overall conversation level is quite coherent, but sometimes slightly
illogical. This result is achieved by examining the input material and
dividing it into categories on the basis of the first few words. It is thus a
'brute force' example of programming. OSCAR is good party entertainment, but people's reactions also make an interesting psychological study.

open. It directly replaces the DEC version with no special provisions.
However, this version is suitable for DOS V09 and later only.

integers, treated as a subscripted array. The address of any such array
element may be found, and this data type may be used to interface easily
to assembler routines. (Documentation for adding new functions is
provided on the tape.)
Several functions specially adapted to manipulating integer array data
are provided.
Restrictions: Integer vector elements may not be directly entered
via ASK. Otherwise, they behave as normal FOCAL numbers.

Operating System: RSX-II, DOS-II, RT-II
Source Language: ANSI Standard FORTRAN (X3.9-1966)
Abstract: The CAMAC library is an implementation, rather than a
specification. It provides a system of ready-made computer-independent
software modules which can be referenced by a higher level of programming (i.e., by the application programs.)
Much beyond IML or handlers for specific CAMAC systems, the
CAMAC-Support Library for Industrial Systems includes test programs,
adaptor programs, and general utility programs. It may be considered
analogous to the various instrumentation modules, test equipment, and
highway adaptors which support CAMAC systems from a hardware
standpoint. The library provides similar support in a software structure.
Written in standard FORTRAN (ANSI X3.9-1966 or ISO Full FORTRAN R/539-1972), the main library includes about 4000 source records
in its current release. It is organized into various sub-libraries. A separate
file name is suggested for each main program (e.g., a utility program)
while related subprograms (i.e., functions and subroutines) are grouped
with a file name suggested for each group.

Abstract: This RSX-II version is an adaptation of DEC's PDP-II 4K
stand-alone basic (DEC-II-LBSUA-A). The "save" and "old" commands
can use any RSX-II device for storage of programs. There are no
provisions for programmed I/O to any device except the user's terminal.
This system is useful as a desk calculator or for calculations requiring
only small amounts of input data. The best documentation for this system
is DEC's "PDP-II BASIC Programming Manual" (DEC-II-XBPMA-BD). Documentation and command files are provided with the source files.

Abstract: FFT is a subroutine designed to be linked to BASIC/
CAPS-II (it could probably be linked with BASIC/PTS or BASIC/RT-11
also) that will enable the user to pedorm a Fast Fourier Transform on 2
data points, where 2 < n < machine storage capability. It is designed for
those systems without EAE, and requires about 16 seconds for a IK
transform. (The equivalent BASIC program requires about 4 minutes.)
Abstract: DECUS 11-270, FOOT, has been modified by the addition
of assembly conditionals to run under the RT-ll operating system as well
as the RSX-llM/D operating systems. Everything supported in the
original RSX-llM/D version is supported under RT-ll with the exception of changing LUN's for the console terminal.

Operating System: lAS, RSX-IID, RSX-IIM
Source Language: MACRO-II
11-284
Associated Documentation: FOCAL-ll User's Manual (DEC-llLFOCA-F-D)
Abstract:
RSX FOCAL is an interpreter for the FOCAL language that
runs as a multi-user task under the RSXII-D, RSX-IIM, or lAS systems.
Numerous language extensions include octal radix support, full Library
facilities - support of I/O up to 8 binary files (including random access
files permitting virtual arrays), and vectors. Vectors are integer arrays
allocated continuously. They may be addressed as integers or bytes, and
full string support is provided by new FOCAL language statements and
functions. Moving substrings, conversion of number to ASCII string or
back, string comparisons, and substring location are included.
Support for hardware control is extensive. FOCAL may handle up to
8 clock scheduling alarms, up to 15 interrupts (using supervisor space),
execute any RSX EMT call, and control the system console (TI:) without
the usual implied wait of ASK. 27 non-erasable variables are provided for
communication with overlays, and provision is made for variables in
global commons if desired. Diagnostics are in English for easy interpretation. Full trig. functions include arctangent, sine, and cosine. Log and
exponential are also available (plus square root). Programs may be
renumbered, data strings may be executed as FOCAL commands, and a
modified IF that calls groups via DO rather than GOTO, are provided.
Also, it is possible to break out of FOR loops. Very extensive conditional
PDP~ll
11·284 (Cont.)
assemblies allow one to select as many (or few) of these features as
desired. The pure segment of FOCAL is about 4.5K; impure sections may
be about 15K up depending on allocated program space. Documentation
shows how to add user functions.
Restrictions: Symbol table dump occasionally gets confused if
vectors allocated start other than a 4-word boundary. Harm·
less to program execution. (FIX available). Hardware floating
point very crude and slow. (Use software floating point this
revision.)

RSX-llM, or lAS, and enhanced TECO with the ability to automatically
use command files, buffer output, and support various scope devices, a
multicolumn lister, partition map routine, various device handlers, conversions, and miscellaneous utilities. Certain programs (notably SRD) for
RSX-lID are also included for the user's convenience, along with an
RSX DDT that may be used in a mode where it accesses a terminal
directly rather that using the RSX console handful (useful for debugging
system components) or in a normal mode using the RSX handlers. A tape
positioning MCR task is included in area 4,200, plus a variety of games
written in FOCAL, BASIC, FORTRAN, and TECO. (For convenience,
sources to BASIC, TECO, RUNOFF, and LlSTjRSX are included, along
with appropriate document files.) An indirect MXR routine (PCP) is also
included, and other routines too numerous to mention. (Many are for
RSX-llD or lAS. The others work for any RSX system.) The new
FOCAL includes string handling, English diagnostics, schedulable
alarms, and many bug-fixes and enhancements. If you have the old one,
you should get this version. Documentation has also been greatly
expanded. Some FORTRAN programs assume the F4P compiler will be
used; most do not.
Restrictions: RSX FOCAL submitted for DECtape does not
include special hardware support. The magtape version sources are complete. FOCAL interrupt handling requires Supervisor Mode, access to External Page, and 18-bit addressing for
DMA devices as written.

Abstract:
TECO is a powerful text editor that runs under most PDP-II
operating systems. It is suitable for editing most any form of text file,
including programs, manuscripts, correspondence, and the like. TEO) is
a character oriented editor, and as such is free from many of the
inconveniences associated with many line oriented editors. In addition,
TECO has most of the facilities found in programming languages, such
as arithmetic, loops, conditional execution, GOTO's, etc., allowing the
user to write editing programs that alphabetize lists, reformat tables,
renumber statement labels, and much more.
This new version of TEO) includes many new features, such as upper/
lower case support, CRT style rubouts, wild card file lookups, bounded
searches, and a keypad/scope editor option for the VT-S2.
Note: The TECO-II User Manual (DECUS 11-350) must be

Abstract: Users of DECs PDP-I 1/04 and PDP-I 1/34 processors will

parts. The first is due to the lack of a switch register; PAL expects to use
one in its initialization routine. The second is due to a vagary of the

when transferring control to a program. A modified absolute loader is
offered here which addresses both problems. Also included is a low speed

QSORTA is the FORTRAN version of the rapid core sort
algorithm, Quicksort, by C. A. R. Hoare. Run time of the Quicksort
algorithm is proportional to logn, where n = number of items sorted.
QSORTA requires 6.2 seconds to sort 2000 floating point values, while a
comparable algorithm, Shellsort, requires 10 seconds to sort the same
number of items; both algorithms were timed on the PDP 11/45. The
source listing of QSORTA provides information on modifying the sort to
perform a descending, rather than ascending sort and how to sort an
associated index array as well as the sort key array.

to a standard format with too many tabs and spaces cleaned out. Lineup mode can be used alone. "Jump" and "Get Label:" commands
facilitate commenting single blocks of code in larger programs. Restrictions: Double labels have to be changed back with the editor after
processing.
Restrictions: Does not process double labels to standard format

RUNOFF is a PDP-ll program running under RT-ll to
facilitate the preparation of typed or printed manuscripts, such as memos,
letters, manuals, etc. The user prepares his material on any regular
PDP-ll terminal, and writes it onto a file using EDITll. The user
includes not only textual material, but also case and formatting information. RUNOFF then takes the file and reproduces it onto the line printer,
teletype or other file to produce a final copy or final file image. It
performs the formatting and case shifting as directed, and will also
perform line justification, page numbering and titling, etc., as desired.

Abstract:
Of interest to the compiler writer, the program "LALR"
constructs a compacted LALR (1) parser from a description of a contextfree language which may then be used as the basis for a compiler for that
language. LALR (1) grammars encompass a large subset of LR( 1)
grammars and include most common, languages such as ALGOL,
FORTRAN, and BASIC. It has been proven that LR(K) parsers are the
most efficient parsers known for a large subset of grammars in terms of
both space and time. Input to the "LALR" program is a Backus-Naur
form representation of the target grammar while output is a state table in
"MACRO" assembler or absolute form.
Restrictions: 128 rules maximum in grammar

Abstract:
A version of DDT, a powerful symbolic debugger, is provided that may be assembled conditionally to run under RSX-llD or
RSX-:ll~, DOS-ll, or stand-alone (including with RT-ll).
This IS reworked from the stand-alone original DDT-II of Steven
Rubin of CMU and has several additional features plus conditionals for
use with a variety of DEC operating systems.
The RSX version may be assembled to do all its I/O through the
normal console handler, or may be built with access to the console
hardware registers to do its own I/O independent of the operating system.
Both the DOS-ll and RSX-ll versions know the start address of the
programs they are linked with, and may start them with a simple
(ALTMODE) G. Console dialogue closely resembles PDP-IO DDT.
Restrictions: User symbols are not automatically known to DDT;
!flost enter from console. Conditional assembly selects operatmg system.

Author: Paul M. Cashman
Massachusetts Computer Assoc., Inc., Wakefield, MA
Operating System: RSX-llM
Source Language: MACRO-II
Memory Required: 400 Words
Other Software Required: MACRO-II, Task Builder
Abstract:
Command Interpretation, while seldom the most important
part of an interactive program, is nonetheless an indispensable part.
MARGOT is a system consisting of a set of metalanguage operators
which can be used to describe the syntax and semantics of command
languages. The operators are implemented as macros which expand to
produce operation codes for a "MARGOT machine". The latter is
implemented as an interpreter written in PDP-II assembler language.
MARGOT is designed to be a powerful, problem-oriented, easy-to-learn
language which corresponds naturally to BNF and allows a command's
syntax and semantics to be associated easily. MARGOT includes facilities for definition of syntactic and semantic constructs, iteration, and
specification of input and syntactic choice. The assembly-time and runtime actions of the MARGOT system are presented. MARGOT is an
operatoring system independent.
Restrictions: (1) MARGOT will not work for recursively defined
languages. (2) MARGOT-generated interpreters can only be
called from ~Ae~II programs.

Abstract:
PICTURE BOOK is a set of programs which run interactively between a RSTS/E or RSX-llD System and a GT40 or GT42
Graphics Display Terminal. The package consists of three parts: a downline loader; a communication and display file handler; and a set of
FORTRAN (RSX-IID) graphics subroutines or BASIC (RSTS/E) functions.
The loader runs on the host system and loads PDP-II binary files into
the graphics terminal over the communications line.
The communications and display file handler is a compact routine
residing in about 1.5K words of memory on the graphics terminal.
The graphics subroutines run on the host PDP-II and are called by a
user's application program. Each subroutine generates a string of ASCII
characters to the terminal which the handler will interpret.

BD This is an RSX-llD device handler for an EG&G BO-Oll
CAMAC branch driver. This driver was written to enable flexible and
efficient use of the EGG CAMAC branch driver, particularly with regard
to LAM initiated data transfers. For use where a single task must control
the branch driver, a subroutine, BO-Oll, is provided which reduces the
task switching overhead incurred by the RSX-llD system.
lOS lOS is a formatting package for access by assembly language
routines. It performs the conversion of single and double precision
integers and floating point numbers to or from an ASCII data set. The
lOS package communicates with the data set through the RSX file
services routines; thus the formatting is completely device independent.
The format control statement is identical to the standard FORTRAN
conventions; A, 0, E, F, L, 0, R, X, and H format descriptors can be
concatenated within the usual FORTRAN parenthetical constractions.
(FP-ll floating point procession required for 0, E, F, L format conversions.) lOS is an RSX-IID version of DECUS 11-109. THE DOCUMENTATION is in comments on the program source files. Additional documentation available from the author.

It is capable of reading or writing tapes in any arbitrary format. As herein
implemented the tape density is 800 bpi (core dump mode for 9-track),
lateral parity is even and the tape must be mounted on drive O. No
interrupts are used. To change any of these fixed parameters it is
necessary to change the command prototype labeled "COMMAND" in
the assignments section as required prior to assembly of the subroutine.
The conditional assembly switch "CHANGE" is provided for this
purpose. Complete instructions on the FORTRAN calling sequence are
presented in a description section. Also, both a sample FORTRAN
program and user assembly instructions are given.

"GRADES" is a system of 16 programs whose overall
functions are to score objective examinations; perform detailed item
analyses; determine means, SD's and frequency distributions of tests;
permit the instructor to modify test scores or to enter grades for essay
exams, oral or written presentations and other endeavors; maintain a
"gradebook" and provide a display of scores for each exam for posting;
and allow the instructor to differentially weigh each student's entries plus
establish unique upper and lower limits for each measure prior to
calculating the overall course grade for all students.

Abstract:
Adventure is a magical, unpredictable, and often addicting
computer game that has caught on in the United States in near epidemic
proportions.
It is a treasure hunt with all the trimmings-mysteries and challenges
that grow more and more complex as the game unravels. Adventure is
more of a puzzle than a game. Once solved, it's mastered. The mastering,
however, often takes months of drawing maps and planning strategy.
Adventure's sweeping popularity lies in its power to enchant. Players
are projected into a world of fantasy, one that blends the heart-pounding
suspense of Treasure Island with the magic of Alice in Wonderland.
This version of ADVENTURE is based on two previous versions:
1. A FORTRAN-IO version by Willie Crowther and Don Woods.
2. A FORTRAN IV-PLUS version done by Ken Blackett.

Abstract:
CALC is a calculator program especially designed for the
system programmer and features the ability to perform calculations in
decimal, hexadecimal, and octal. Multiple precision numbers of up to 99
digits can be manipulated. Additional features make the program useful
for a wide variety of calculations.
Expressions are entered for evaluation using a syntax almost identical
to that of FORTRAN IV. These expressions may include variables as
well as functions such as SIN and DLOG. Variable names are restricted
to a single alphabetic character and may be any of 9 different data types.
These data types include INTEGER (INTEGER *4), REAL (DOUBLE
PRECISION), HEXADEQMAL, OCTAL, MULTIPLE PRECISION
BASE 10, MULTIPLE PRECISION BASE 8, MULTIPLE PRECISION
BASE 16, and ASCII. The latter data type is useful when making ASCII

code conversions. Entering OCTAL or HEXADECIMAL constants is
facilitated by a provision to alter the default base. Files of expressions or
commands can be executed with up to 5 levels of nesting.
Sources are included and it should be relatively easy to convert the
program for compilation under a variety of operating systems and
machines. Except for heavy use of LOGICAL * I, almost all codes comply
with the ANSI Standard. The compiler should, however, be able to
perform INTEGER*4 and REAL*8 calculations. Extensive documentation and a 26K overlayed and 31K nonoverlayed task image for use
under RSX-IIM are provided.
Note: Printed User's Guide includes flow charts for the major
routines. There exists a machine readable file of the User's Guide
on the distribution tape. The distribution tape does not contain
any flow charts.

Operating System: RSX-11M, RSX-11D, lAS, RSTS/E
Source Language: MACRO-II, PASCAL
Memory Required: 31 K (RSX), 28K (RSTS)
Abstract: The Swedish Pascal compiler is written in Pascal and runs
on PDP-ll computers under the RSX-llM, RSX-llD, lAS, and RSTS
operating systems. It compiles Pascal source files and generates a source
file listing (optional) and relocatable binary object file (optional) acceptable to TKB. It has a complete Pascal run-time library encompassing the
full standard Pascal (Jensen and Wirth) run-time library and some
additional routines specific to the RSX operating system environments. It
is possible to access MACRO and FORTRAN routines as external
procedures. The compiler was originally implemented by Seved Torstendahl and modified by the PASCAL SIG. The compiler itself must be
cross-compiled on a DEC-IO/20 system. However, user programs can be
compiled on PDP-ll systems with a partition of at least 32K (28K on
RSTS). This compiler represents the current offering of the PASCAL SIG
until it can be replaced by a more efficient compiler currently under
development.

GERMAN - Adjective Ending Game and Data
RSTS-11-18
FUe Editor
Author: Mark Linton
Project DELTA, University of Delaware, Newark, DE
Operating System: RSTS V4A
Source Language: BASIC-PLUS
Memory Required: 4K
Abstract:
GERMAN is a test on German adjective endings in certain
sentences. The user tells the number of sentences he wants. Then for each
sentence, an adjective ending is left out of the sentence which the user
must replace with correct ending. If he is correct he will proceed to the
next question; if not he will be told the correct answer and why it is
correct. There are sixty-eight possible sentences to be asked. These are in
a data file and GERMAN gets random ones for the user.
GEDIT is a special program for the game, GERMAN, which can
change or create the data file used, GERMAN .DAT. The data file used
is a virtual array, while the raw data file is not. GEDIT was written to
convert the raw data (included in this package) into the virtual array.
Also, in the case that there is a mistake of spelling or grammar or new
sentences to be entered, this program can perform the necessary changes.
Restrictions: Data file must exist (GERMAN.DAT).

Abstract:
TALK is a program which allows rapid and direct communication between terminals. It is meant to be used by anyone on the
system, although its functions are more powerful if the user is running
under a privileged account. Its purpose is to extend the use of the
broadcast option, in limited fashion, to all users; it contains special
routines which check on the state of the terminal to receive, and will
prevent a non-privileged user from sending to a "busy" terminal.
Should be saved under the system library, and protected to 168.

RSTS-ll-23
Author: M. L. Cole
Digital Equipment Corporation, Maynard, MA
Operating System: RSTS V4A-12
Memory Required: 8K
This package consists of two programs: NAMES and CEMGEN. The programs are designed to serve as an example of the type of
operation particularly well-suited to a computer.
CEMGEN produces ten questions dealing with the weight and number
of atoms in samples of elements and exercises in balancing equations.
The questions themselves can easily be replaced with other questions
from any subject area dealing with mostly numeric answers. CEMGEN
takes a standard format question, generates random numbers for the
given numeric values, thereby customizing each test, quiz, or homework
assignment. CEMGEN then proceeds to output the test and an answer
key.
If the NAMES program is used to create a file of student names,
CEMGEN will produce a different test for each student in the name file
(with a form feed between tests). It will also produce a keyed answer
sheet with answers to each question noted for each student. The answer
sheet is produced student-by-student. If NAMES is not used, CEMGEN
will produce one test and answer sheet, then ask if another is to be
created.

Abstract:
This series of 18 instructional programs is designed as
supplemental instructional materials for elementary school reading and
math curricula, but additionally can be used for remedial or review work
for older age groups. The programs provide drills on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in the math department and spelling
word games and phonics in the reading department. One outstanding
advantage of these drills is that students find out immediately, before they
go on to the next problem, how well they performed and are given
appropriate congratulatory messages or helpful hints for solution. The
difficulty of the problems is automatically updated to the present
students' performance.
Although the programs do not maintain records of student performance for later teacher analysis, the programs do type out the student's
score, number of problems tried, number correct, and percentage correct
at the end of each program session.

practice in fractions: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing
fractions with common and different denominators, and concepts of
greatest common factors, reducing fractions, least common multiples,
improper fractions, inverses and reciprocals. The problem difficulty is
automatically updated with respect to the student's performance. However, the student may not go on to the next program in the series unless he
successfully completes some more difficult problem. After each student
answers, the program provides a congratulatory message or a helpful hint.
The programs do not maintain record files but do print out student scores
at the end of each session.

Abstract:
MIGIT is a symbolic language developed to aid a beginning
programmer in the understanding of an assembly language. MIGIT is the
counterpart of the machine language called SADSM which was developed in an earlier program. The opcodes in both SADSM and MIGIT
are compatible, that is, the coding of MIGIT is translated into SADSM,
and all SADSM coding can be easily converted to MIGIT. An assumption is therefore made that the MIGIT programmer has programmed in
SADSM.

Abstract:
This BASIC-PLUS program allows the user to perform
transfer, deletion, listing, renames, and protection changing by using only
one program 'ACCMAT' instead of using CAT and PIP. When the file
is printed out, you need not look up block sizes and protections, because
it prints them out with the file name. Any of the above mentioned options
can be performed on the file, making it faster than either CAT or PIP.

RSTS-1l-52
Author: John Christensen
Idaho Falls School District, Idaho Falls, ID
Memory Required: 28K
Special Hardware Required: Line Printer, Card Reader, at least 3
RK05 Disk Drives.
Abstract:
The Fiscal Accounting Package, a fully accrued and encumbered system of accounting, consists of two subsystems, accounts payable
and general ledger reporting. The accounts payable package (A.P.)
includes the normal accounts payable functions; the general ledger
package (G.L.) includes the printing of the general ledger and various
forms of budget and expenditure reports.
The Fiscal Package is for the most part a conversion of a similar
package developed for an IBM 1401. It is therefore card input oriented.
However, that is the only use of cards; the input programs could easily
be modified for terminal input. All sorting and data manipulation is done
on the disks and output is either to the disks or the line printer. The
equipment necessary for the cards is a keypunch and a punched card
reader for the PDP-II. The entire package is written in the RSTS V4A-12
BASIC-PLUS language.
A third package can be used in conjunction with the A.P. and G.L.
packages. That package is a Payroll Package (also available from
DECUS as number RSTSII-33) based on the same system of accounting.
The entire system is based on double entry bookkeeping. The A.P. and
G.L. package, however, stand alone without the payroll package.
The accounting system is based on a 16 digit general ledger account
number. The account number contains, in a more concise form, most of
the information recommended by the Federal Handbook 11 for school
fiscal accounting.

Bentley Variety Package
Author: Ross Kass t Darryl Johnsont et al
Abstract:
Especially designed for a timesharing environment,
NMRSIM simulates nmr spectra using hypothesized values of coupling
constants, chemical shiftst rf power, and relaxation times. Fifteen operational modules in three source program segments interact dynamically,
requesting parameters in a natural order, computing and plotting spectra
for up to six spin-l/2 nuclei or fewer with larger spins, permitting
revisions of parameters with minimal repetition, and protecting against
erroneous keyboard entries. Line spectrum files can be computed at any
terminal and stored on disk for later plotting with the program. The
plotting subroutines, which give full control over scaling of the plot with
only four input numbers, support the Tektronix 4010 graphics terminal,
the TSP-12 or TSP-212 plotting systems, and the Hewlett-Packard
7200A/7202A graphic plotters. Note: DECUS NO. 10-221 is a similar

number facts for all four operationst but some of the programs drill the
student on problems such as: [ ] X 6 = 48. What is [ ]1 The unique thing
about this package is that the programs are timed. The object is to do as
many of a given type of problems as can be done in the given amount of
time. The student who does the most sets the record. Each time the
program is run the record holder's name is printed with his record and
the student then tries to beat that record so he can be recorded as the
record holder. This feature is optional.
A complete documentation of the package and program listings can be
printed on a printer by running from the DECtape the program 'PRINT'

Through the use of BATCH, editing of the data file is quick and easy.
BATCH also allows for procedures to be defined and has other runtime
options and macros. Diagnostics and the date and time that the command is "forced" to the computer are printed on the terminal.

Abstract:
CHSBRD is a BASIC-PLUS program that was written on a
PDP-II to run under the RSTS V06A-02 monitor. It was designed to be
a "Learning" aid, and to keep local chess tournaments "Fair".
The program allows capture "Enpassant" and "Castling", but it has
other limitations. It will allow a player to move his king into check, it
requires a VT05 or VT05B to play, and it cannot yet "Play" against an
operator. Throughout, it uses standard chess notation, and even has a
three minute timeout period which will be made variable in the next
release. If selected, it maintains a complete record of play on the system
disk which is automatically QUEUED to the Line Printer when the game
is finished.
Restrictions: The package requires about 500 blocks of disk space
for its own source and text files, and additional (variable)
space for users.

A Compendium of (DECAL) CAl Programs
signed to provide Computer ASsisted instruction in ANalysis Of
VAriance. It concentrates on teaching the computations involved in a
variety of ANOVAs without confining the instructor to a particular
orientation or text. Its usefulness rests on the assumption that performing
ANOVA computations with the aid of the computer will contribute to
understanding of the logic behind these computations. CASANOVA does
the computations quickly, and provides feedback to partial solutions in
order to monitor the student's performance. CASANOVA users should
have had some introductory study of statistical inference, hypothesis
testing and one-way ANOVA prior to using the package. The package
consists of 21 BASIC-PLUS programs and 18 virtual core files containing
text of instructions and help messages for users of the package. Documentation consists of a Student's Manual and an Instructor's Manual.

Abstract: The procedures and functions of VBFILE facilitate

random access of variable length record files. The procedures are fast m
terms of computer access times, require little core storage, are economical
in terms of file space (no full or null characters are used to pad physical
records) and manage the file structure automatically. They are written
using BASICPLUS record facilitates but do not require the programmer
to concern himself with record 10 or the physical characteristics of the
file. The procedures are modular. The user can select the modules he
needs and these modules can be used in tum by other user written
functions to achieve the type of record management system needed. The
logical record to be managed is a variable length character string which
has an associated physical record index. All details needed to map .the
physical record index to the logical record and put and extract IOgtcal
records are handled by three functions.
Restrictions: File string cannot contain a tilde. (- or CHR 126).

Abstract: STAT-II is a statistical package which can be easily used by
anyone, regardless or their experience with computers and computer
programming. All of the information needed to perform statistical
analyses with STAT-II is contained in Chapter 2, including examples of
actual STAT-II programs.
The STAT-II program and manual use certain conventions with which
the user may not be familiar:
1. In the sample programs in the manual, information typed in by
the user at the keyboard has been underlined to differentiate it
from computer output.
2. In arithmetic expressions, an asterisk (*) is used to denote
multiplication, and an upward-pointing arrow (t) to denote
exponentiation.
3. A percent sign (%) appearing before a number in STAT-ll
output indicates only that the number has exceeded the normal
output format in length. The value of the number is still correct.

Abstract: nPLOT is a software suite designed to drive the HewlettPackard n02A X-Y digital plotter to produce graphs with data points
(any ASCII character, or special graphpoint shapes), or as lines between
data points, or as a histogram plot. The user can select all axes
parameters (scales, logarithmic or linear, linear increment etc.) on a
variety of axed formats, and define a graph title and X and Y axes titles.
A simple linear regression analysis permits plotting of the best straight
line on a scatter diagram. For the histogram option, a Gaussian curve
equal in area to the histogram can be drawn.
Original data can be disk, tape, or keyboard sourced; output can be the
plotter, disc or tape.
An accessory program allows reorienting of the plot (from a prepared
plot file) to give a vertical rectangular format. For accurate scient~fic
graph plotting, a graph paper option is included which allows plotter
settings to be aligned with printed grids.
- All of the user registers plus the PC, SP, and status bits can be
dumped or altered by the user.
- A section of memory can be outputted in the Intel hex format.
- A register trace can be enabled which will dump the contents of
the user registers prior to the execution of each instruction.
- A simulated switch register can be set by the user and read under
program control.
- A counter which indicates the number of machine cycles that
have elapsed can be printed or altered by the user.

STANDARDS
3.1 DEC Standards and other documentation related to standards such ~ programming conventions
and guidelines, available through DECUS
DIGITAL Software Standards are software-related technical documents developed byDIGITAL.They
cover items such as the format and organization of data on a tape, or how the month, day, and year
should be printed on a directory listing.
DIGITAL Standards specify areas of compatibility across multiple products. In general, new
products are required to conform to applicable standards, however, the applicability of any standard
is subject to review in terms of the market needs of the particular product. The existence of a
particular standard is NOT a commitment by DIGITAL to conform to specifications detailed in that
standard.
Many software development issues are not covered by existing DIGITAL Standards, and not all
existing DIGITAL Software Standards are available from DECUS. Users must make their own
evaluation of whether or not these documents might be of value to them.
The following documents are available through DECUS:

confirmation that ESC has been received by the program, then that
character must be single dollar sign ($; (44)8).
ESC is the character which initially delimits an ESC sequence and ESC
may carry no other meaning, even though ESC currently has many other
meanings. Applies to all new DEC terminals.
