Leeds, England

The modifications to symbolic Editor (DEC-08-ESAB) are:

200₈ code becomes a valid character which can be stored or

generated; T and F output 200₈ code; all three (3) punching

commands, T, F and P are followed by halts to enable the

punch to be turned on; T also halts after punching trailer.

These changes simplify editing of tapes which contain sections

of text or data separated by lengths of leader/trailer.

The modified Format Generator produces a symbolic format

which saves tape, editor buffer space and Teletype time.
