05.01 PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT USED

The Commercial Translator Compiler uses the following peripheral components:

  1. One on-line printer.
  2. A minimum of 5 tapes: a. One System tape (binary). b. One listing output tape. c. Three utility (scratch) tapes.
  3. One tape or card reader for input.
  4. One tape or punch for punch output.

The above represents the minimum machine configuration for compilation of a Commercial Translator source program.

The Loading of a CT object program (excluding the tapes used by the Object program) requires:

  1. One on-line printer.
  2. Possibly three tapes: a. One system tape (binary). b. Possibly two utility tapes (Used temporarily during the loading of large programs. Small programs will not require these two tapes).
  3. One tape or card reader for input.

File Maintenance on the symbolic system tape(s) requires:

  1. One on-line printer.
  2. One system tape (binary).
  3. One tape or card reader for input.
  4. Symbolic system tapes to be maintained and enough blank tapes to contain the new symbolic system.
  5. Possibly several blank tapes to contain output from this maintenance procedure which will be used as input to an assembly routine, also on the binary system tape.
