Abstract: U/W FOCAL is an expanded version of PS/8, FOCAL

(FOCAL8-177) which offers 13 new commands (including 2 unused

ones), 15 more function entries (30 altogether), and many other improve-

ments, all in the same amount of core space! Among the new features are

FOCAL Statement Functions, double subscripting, variable file names,

decrementing loops, the constant PI, new EAE routines for the 8/E (and

older machines too), several improved functions, a command for printing

the date and a way to use the teletype as a giant switch register. This

version of FOCAL offers exceptional flexibility for laboratory applications

as well as greatly enhanced performance for purely numerical

problems. 10-digit precision (a unique feature of FOCAL) is standard.
