This program enables a PDP-8 operator to generate tapes
under Teletype control in RIM or PAL BIN format without
formal assembly, assuming the operator knows the octal
codes corresponding to each instruction. This is particularly
useful when one is dealing with small programs for testing
interface equipment or when making small modifications to
larger programs saving reassembling time. Tapes generated
using this program can be appended to existing BIN or RIM
tapes and can then be loaded with the original tape into
core with the appropriate loader. Another use of this program
is in the preparation of data tapes in RIM or BIN format so
that data can be loaded directly into PDP-8 core via the usual
loaders. The program also generates leader/trailer code and
a checksum under program control.
