PALL: RAND'S AUTOMATED ADDRESS BOOK,
Abstract
The PALL program ('Prints Address Lists and Labels') has been in use since early 1963 to produce the various pieces of paper--distribution lists, receipts, mailing labels, and order forms--required in the distribution of RAND publications. It maintains a master file of some 850 organizations approved to receive various categories of RAND reports. In design and operation, the program resembles a two-pass assembler and makes extensive use of modern string-handling, pointer, and dictionary techniques. Section I of the Memorandum is a brief discussion of the origin, operation, and advantages of PALL. Section II contains the instructions for users of the program; Section III, the instructions for operators. Section IV describes the program's operation, step by step, and Section V discusses its formats. (Author)
