Pdp-8 Program Library Catalog

This document is the June 1979 edition of the DECUS (Digital Equipment Computer Users Society) Library Catalog for the PDP-8 computer. It serves as a comprehensive listing of available programs for PDP-8, BASIC-8, and FOCAL-8 systems.

Key sections of the document include:

• General Information: Provides guidance on ordering procedures, media price codes, return policies, submission guidelines for new programs, and international contact information, including price tables in local currencies.
• Program Abstracts: Detailed, categorized listings (Section 2) for PDP-8, BASIC-8, and FOCAL-8 software, including descriptions, authors, operating system requirements, and hardware prerequisites.
• Standards: A listing of available DEC software development and documentation standards.
• Indexes: Comprehensive cross-references, including an Alphabetical Index, a Category Index (grouping software by function, such as "Math Routines" or "Games"), and an Operating System Index to assist users in finding relevant software.

The catalog emphasizes that the DECUS library acts solely as a clearinghouse and that all software is provided "as is," without warranties. It also explicitly instructs users not to combine DECUS orders with standard Digital Equipment Corporation hardware or software orders.
