DISPLAY ORIENTED COMPUTER USAGE SYSTEM

Abstract

The Display Oriented Computer Usage System (DOCUS) is a software system under which new on-line man/machine techniques for CRT console use are being designed and implemented for the non-programming user, on-line tools such as a File Maintenance and Query Language and a Text Manipulation Language are described. For the programming user a capability for on-line programming and debugging through the use of FORTRAN, CODAP, and a Display Oriented Language (DOL) is provided by the system. The basic framework in which these user tools operate is also provided by two groups of generalized function key programs. One group of keys, the General Operating Language gives the non-programming user a display manipulation, library control, and system communication facility. The second group of keys, the Procedure Implementation Language, allows the programmer to create displays and key programs and to build a repertoire of functions in a system and various user libraries.
