Decus Program Library PDP-8 Catalog

This document is the August 1978 edition of the PDP-8 DECUS (Digital Equipment Computer Users Society) Library Catalog. It serves as a comprehensive reference guide to the software programs available through the DECUS library for the PDP-8, BASIC-8, and FOCAL-8 systems.

Key sections of the document include:

• General Information: Provides instructions on how to order programs, details on payment, DECUS coupons, return policies, documentation, and various distribution methods. It also provides contact information for regional DECUS chapters.
• Abstracts: A detailed section divided into three parts (PDP-8, BASIC-8, and FOCAL-8) that lists programs by their order number, providing the author, operating system, required hardware, and a description of each program.
• Standards: A list and description of Digital Equipment Corporation software standards and documentation related to programming conventions and guidelines.
• Indexes: Includes an Alphabetical Index, a Category Index (grouping programs by function), and an Operating System Index to assist users in locating specific software.

The catalog notes that all programs are provided on an "as is" basis and that the DECUS Library acts only as a clearing house. Users are encouraged to refer to the DECUSCOPE or DECUS newsletters for the most current updates on program availability and policy changes.
