Abstract: The standard LAB-8/E user-defined-functions distributed

with OS/8 BASIC, V3, have been modified to function on the original

LAB-8 (PDP-8 with AX08 laboratory peripheral). The general philosophy

of these modifications has been to make them in such a way that

programs that run on the LAB-8/E will also run on the LAB-8 (AX08)

without changes. The functions, their argument structures and execution

logic are essentially the same as in the LAB-8/E version as documented

in the OS/8 Handbook-DEC-SS-OSHBA-A-D.

Major differences are: 1) CLK-prints setting of RC clock; 2) SAM-will

not sample digital registers; 3) DRI-reads contingency bits; 4) DRO-sets

or clears digital outputs.
