Keyboard Controlled High Speed Punch Routine for FOCAL

FOCAL8-219

1969

Eddy Emmons, Royal Postgraduate Medical School,

Hammersmith Hospital, London, England

A new function call has been implemented for FOCAL 1969

to allow the high speed punch to output all FOCAL commands

and can be used under program control.

A new command, which is ignored by FOCAL, changes the

printer IOT's for Punch IOT's, The Punch will exit to the

keyboard when errors occur. These routines can be used with

or without the extended functions and do not require extra

user space. Either argument or command can be extended to

activate other high speed output devices as KV8/I, line

printer, etc. (when 8K is available).
