It is the aim of this paper to help the user to code specific
routines in FOCALTM so that his dialect of FOCAL can be
applied to his application (without being forced to understand
in detail all the workings of FOCAL). Included are descriptive
discussions of how FOCAL works, the philosophy of the lan-
guage, and sections technically oriented toward helping the
user actually code his additions. This paper is an extention
of DECUS NO. FOCAL8-17 and includes most of the dis-
cussions contained therein, The particular versions of
FOCAL described will be FOCAL/69 and FOCL/F the
latter being a version of 8K FOCAL/69 with modifications by
the author allowing assembler patches to be more easily
added. (DECUS NO. FOCAL8-227a.)
