PATCH provides a simple, convenient means for making changes
to PDP-8 binary format paper tapes, and for creating short
binary tapes. Single binary tapes may be patched or merely
copied. Several tapes may be combined, with or without
changes being made. Additions to tapes may be created.
Whole pages of code may be moved or deleted. In certain
cases binary words may be inserted within existing binary
data. Field expressions may be inserted, changed or
deleted.
Changes and creations are made via the the Teletype keyboard
using simple commands. Data is typed in octal.
NOTE: The DECtape available for this program is in PDP-10
format.
