Source Text Editor for the Varian Data 620.

Abstract

A source text editor program for application on the Varian Data 620 in the computer-aided design and engineering facility was developed to provide the user with a convenient method for Generation of a source paper tape for input to an assembler or FORTRAN IV compiler; Correction and modification of sources text tapes through keyboard control from the teletypewriter or equivalent CRT terminal device and the high-speed paper tape system; Listing sources text teletypewriter printer; Reading and writing source text data to Linetape magnetic tape files; Manipulation of data in small data base files with such possible applications as system files directories, maintenance assistance and general teaching aid for the computer-aided design and engineering facility; and Preparation of source data file for input to DAS assembler. The source text editor uses the Linetape magnetic tape system manufactured by Computer Operations, Inc., as data files. Special loader and utility subroutines, in addition to the source text editor, were provided with assembly language program listings. (Author)
