FTD Edit System.

Abstract

A 16-terminal, interactive, text processing system is described. The system was designed for post processing of computer translated Russian scientific and technical literature. Sophisticated word processing software is supported on 5 minicomputers organized on 2 levels. A PDP-11/05 at the upper level is the main processor. Below are 4 IMLAC PDS-4 satellite processors, each of which supports 4 display/keyboard units. Functionally, the Edit System is optimized for full text editing of translated Russian text. As well, the system will also support keyboarding of original cyrillic material. This is made possible through an expanded character set which includes 4 separate alphabets: Roman, Cyrillic, math/technical and Greek. (Author)
