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,
