Operating System: OS/8

Source Language: PAL-8

Abstract: This OS/8 handler emulates the LP08 line printer on the

ASR33 teletype. It handles form-feeds, tabs, line overrun and paging. A

character count automatically generates a carriage return-line feed whenever

the count exceeds 72. A line count automatically pages at 62 lines by

introducing 4 additional CR/LF's to produce II-inch pages. Due to space

limitations in the handler, vertical tab results in a single additional CR/

LF. An attempt to read from the handler results in an immediate normal

exit. First entry to the handler generates 4 CR/LF's. There is no closing

form-feed.
