Abstract: This package contains programs necessary for a good communication

with the terminal. TYPX prints messages, six bit ASCII.

KREAD reads messages from keyboard, GETBUF prints them out

(both use a buffer for the eight bit ASCII characters) as a mere message

or forms an octal number of sequential characters. DBCONV converts

ASCII-coded decimals to binary numbers, DECPRT prints up to 4 digit

decimal numbers of a binary number in AC.

HEAR is a special form of KREAD for a fix text buffer, GETKBD is

the corresponding GETBUF for a fix buffer.

The routines require 2 pages of core and can be used field independent

via some special routines listed in the comment. They all use the same

exit (1 loc. in page 0). KREAD, TYPS, DBCONV and DECPRT are

adaptations from DEC's Commonly Used Utility Routines.
