KV8FT
FOCAL8-116

Arthur L. Pike, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts

This patch incorporates a slightly shortened version of the
Variable Stroke Character Generator in such a way that
FOCAL can branch to VSCG for writing on the 611 scope in-
stead of to XOUTL for writing on the teletype. With this
patch, FOCAL can use the scope and high speed punch for
writing FOCAL programs and for producing rapid punched
output of tables or other lengthy data. With appropriate
attention to format this patch allows FOCAL programs to add
text labels to graphical constructions that are drawn with the
aid of the GRAPH overlay.
