This program is intended to show the facilities the DEC-338
system offers when considered as a drawing board. It allows
the user to: draw straight lines of "free hand" over a total of
75 X 75 inch area; include symbols which may be formed by
means of the program; label the drawing in alphanumeric and
other characters; delete items drawn; output the display and
symbol files created and input a display file and its symbols
for updating. The program incorporates a tracking cross and
raster and the coordinates of the tracking are shown when
required. Control is obtained by a set of light buttons and push
buttons and the switch register.

The documentation gives possible core location changes for
adapting the dimensions drawn to special cases if required.
