1. DTA and DECLAB provide an automatic assignment of user
device names to DECtapes from an internally recorded label.
It reduces errors from specifying the wrong DECtape on multi-
drive systems.

2. CHANGE and REMOVE pseudo-commands provide the
ability to change names in the directory of a PS/8 device with
a simple "command," and the ability to remove up to 32 files
with one command. It provides more comprehensive error
messages than PIP.

3. LIST is a program to list PS/8 directions on KV8/I scope.

Minimum Hardware:
PDP-8 with DECtape
