Accessing Data Arrays and Teletype Text Input/Output

These two subroutines provide the user with a powerful, yet

concise, programming methodology when used with the

Floating Point Package (DEC-08-FMHA).

The array accessing subroutine permits the user to access

both fixed and floating point data located anywhere in the

first 2K words of core storage regardless of page overlap.

Both data storage and retrieval can be performed on terms

analogous to single variable, subscripted FORTRAN array

terms such as "ARRAY (a*J+b)."

The second subroutine, TTY Text I/O, provides a concise

facility for text output (63 characters), character input,

line spacing and page tabulation.
