Abstract: Program CASTOR overlays Digital's symbolic Editor to

enable reading and writing on a SYKES 3000 series cassette unit, it uses

the ASR-33 or (and) the VT05. This results in considerable time savings

when assembling PAL programs since PAL III has also been modified to

accept symbolic source programs directly from the SYKES 3000 series

cassette unit (PALLUX). The original FORM FEED (F), GET (G) and

TRAILER (T) commands, the ESCAPE key and the high speed paper

tape reader and punch routines are inoperative.

CASTOR was written for a system with the following configuration:

PDP-8E, VT05, ASR-33 and SYKES 3220.
