Four of the remaining five control cards cause CTM to read the corresponding CTM subsystem from the system tape and transfer control to the subsystem. The $PAUSE control card, does not cause control to be turned over to a subsystem. It prints the $PAUSE card on the on-line printer. This information should inform the operator of the reason for the pause. The message PRESS START TO CONTINUE is also printed. On the other four control cards CTM scans only the CTM subsystem which gets control from CTM.

The Operations which direct the CT Supervisor are:

Operation Function
$CMPLE Perform compilation on following source deck.
$LOAD Perform loading of following object deck.
$SUBUP Perform Subroutine File updating.
$MAIN Perform File Maintenance.
$PAUSE Prints $PAUSE then pauses for operator intervention.

Accounting

A sample accounting routine is provided on the system tape. The sample accounting routine is not intended to work on 7090s (other than the one at WDPC - UCLA). If an installation chooses to insert a different accounting routine, it is recommended that the listing of the sample accounting routine be read. The listing contains the information necessary concerning communication and a description of how to replace the sample accounting routine on the system tape.
