This package is designed to operate with the Basic Three Word

Floating Point Package (Digital 8-5-S) and enables the user to

label three dimensional vectors (i.e. three consecutive threeword

floating point numbers) by a single symbol. Its use is

similar to that of the Floating Point Package in that vector

operations can be initiated by a single instruction. The oper~

ation of addition, subtraction, dot product, cross product and

modulus of vectors can be simply programmed and full input

and output facilities for vectors are available.
