Operating System: OS/8

Source Language: FORTRAN IV

Memory Required: 16K

Special Hardware Required: Extended precision (72-bit) floating

point hardware may be required in order to obtain sufficient

accuracy for general use of this package on the PDP-8.

Abstract: COGO is a problem-oriented computer language and pro-

gramming system for solving geometric problems. Typical problems

suitable for COGO include: control and land surveys, right-of-way

surveys, subdivision planning, construction layout, highway and inter-

change design, bridge geometry.

A knowledge of programming is not required to successfully use

COGO.

COGO-90, originally developed by Professor C. L. Miller and his staff

at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been extended and

implemented by Computer Dynamics Incorporated to run on a PDP-10

computer. COGO-8 is the PDP-10 version which also has been extended

and implemented to run on any (PDP-8, PDP-12) OS/8 FORTRAN IV

system which includes a minimum hardware configuration of 16K of

memory and two DECtapes. The speed and operation of COGO-8 is

greatly enhanced by the use of a disk and Floating Point Processor.

The OS/8 Reference Manual and OS/8 FORTRAN User's Manual

(DEC-S8-CFTNA-A-D) are helpful reference quides to the COGO

operation.
