HEP is a program which gives calculating machine type

operation and stored program operation. It is based on

Floating Point Package (DEC-8-5-S-D) and Floating Poiht

Controller (DECUS No. 8-44). Calculations have an

accuracy of just over six decimal digits and printout is

rounded to six decimal digits. It includes facilities for

format control, program control and tests, subroutines, and

an array of variables. Although it was designed mainly for

quick results from small calculations, it also has facilities

and space for quite large and elaborate programs. Note,
