Program Library Catalog

This document serves as a comprehensive catalog of software programs for the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-8 computer family. It provides brief descriptions, hardware requirements, and source language information for hundreds of programs developed by users and submitted to the DECUS library (Digital Equipment Computer Users Society).

The catalog is divided into two primary sections:

• General Programs: A long list of specialized applications, including data analysis tools (histogram generators, statistical analysis packages), utilities (loaders, debuggers, file editors), simulations (games like "Space War" and "Pollution Game"), and hardware-specific patches for the PDP-8.
• FOCAL8 Numerical Index and Abstracts: A dedicated section detailing programs written for the FOCAL (Formula Calculator) language, ranging from mathematical functions and statistical packages to educational simulations and games.

The document concludes with a "Service Charges" section, outlining the costs for obtaining these software titles, user-supplied tape services, and other library materials, followed by detailed abstracts of the FOCAL8 programs.
