Decus Program Library Catalog

Summary This document serves as a comprehensive catalog of the Digital Equipment Computer Users Society (DECUS) program library as of June 1968. It provides an index and detailed abstracts for software programs developed for various Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) computer models, including the PDP-1, PDP-4, PDP-5, PDP-6, PDP-7, PDP-8 series, PDP-9, LINC, and LINC-8.

The catalog is organized into four main parts:

• Part I: Category Index – Organizes programs by function, such as assemblers, compilers, editors, debuggers, arithmetic routines, and scientific/engineering applications.
• Part II: Programs Available from Authors – Lists programs that are available directly from the contributing authors rather than through the central library.
• Part III: Programs for Sale or Lease – Details specific professional software packages offered by commercial corporations.
• Part IV: Abstracts of Programs and Numerical Indexes – Provides technical descriptions of the programs, grouped by computer hardware line.

The document also includes instructions and a sample form for DECUS members to submit their own programs to the library.
