Abstract: TRTRV, URTRV, ITEMIZ, ITMCNT, VRTRV, PRTRV,
ORTRV, and RTLIST form a family of information retrieval programs
on a PDP-8/E under OS/8. Data is stored in ASCII files on the systems
device and edited with EDIT or TECO. Numeric and textual information
can be used. The programs provide for selecting complex subsets of a file
and storing specified variables from each selected record-on DECtape for
statistical or other analysis in four forms: paired, unpaired, columnar by
record, and by complete lines. Exhaustive counts, frequency distributions
on user-defined ranges for specified variables with histograms and
percentages, and columnar listing are also available.
