Operating System: Paper Tape

Source Language: PAL-III

Memory Required: 8K

Abstract: This is an overlay for use with PAL-III (Digital 8-3L-S), for

use on an 8K PDP-8 with ASR-33. The principle of the modification is

to store the incoming characters during Pass 1 into the memory extension

and taking them from there during Pass 2 and 3. Source programs must

be limited to 4095 characters. This modification can save about 40% of

assembly time.

Operation of the program is the same as for PAL III except that the

reading of the source program for Pass 2 and 3 need not be repeated. For

these passes, one simply presses CONTINUE after setting the correct

switches.

Restrictions: The program does not work with high speed reader

and punch

Note: The version of PAL-III listed above is no longer available.
