LINC-TRAN is a programming system which permits FORTRAN object programs and the FORTRAN Operating System to be called as part of a LINC-8 program. For example, data could be collected, primary processed, and stored in the LINC mode, floating point calculation performed in the PDP-8 FORTRAN mode, with a return to the LINC mode for further processing or display of results. As a result, full use can be made of the unique capabilities and full power of the joint configuration (LINC and PDP-8) of the LINC-8 computer.
