Revised OPTSA Model. Volume 2. Computer Program Documentation

Abstract

This report is a documentation of the computer program of the revised OPTSA II model. The program is operational on the CDC 6400 at IDA. It occupies about 66,000 octal (equivalent to 28,000 decimal) 60-bit words of core and requires 50 seconds to compile. It contains about 2,500 FORTRAN statements. The game matrices are dimensioned to hold up to 11 pure strategies per period per side. Wars of up to 90 days can be played, with one, two, or three decision periods. This volume contains guides to data-deck preparation, variable definitions, a program listing, sample output, and a guide to the various output options available.
