ON LINE DOCUMENTATION OF THE COMPATIBLE TIME-SHARING SYSTEM

Abstract

The dissemination of information about computer programs is hampered because of the lack of conformity in documentation, the delays inherent in any distribution system, and the inability to select only desired information without being flooded with information which is not of present interest. An on- line system for storing and retrieving information about the programs associated with the Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS) has been developed to be included as a CTSS command. This system will help to document the system commands, supervisor entries, library subprograms, and public programs. These types of programs have been chosen since there is an urgent need for having this documentation available on demand, i.e., on-line.
