EDITS is a modified version of the PS/8 editor. EDITS displays
a portion of the text buffer surrounding the current line. A
couple of command changes have been made to facilitate its
use with the display. The source can easily be reassembled
to allow for different character generator hardware or soft-
ware. EDITS displays line numbers if desired.
The tape includes a variety of display based Software, Among
the routines included is ZIP8 which: (a) Allows the PDP-8/I
system to function as a remote PDP-10 terminal through the
teletype console; (b) Runs with DECTAP/PA and TYPEDT.PA;
(c) Allows PS/8 DECtape/PDP-10 text transmission in both
directions; (d) Displays PDP-10 output on the CRT scope, if
activated.
