Ps/8 Fortran Library Routines

This document provides an overview of the "PS/8 Fortran Library Routines" collection, a set of supplementary subroutines designed for use with PS/8 Fortran systems on PDP-8 or PDP-12 computers.

Key features of this library include:

• Functionality: It includes routines for unformatted file I/O, specialized Teletype I/O, Linctape support, LINC-mode I/O, and scope display routines.
• Organization: These routines are compiled into a binary library file named LIB12.RL. The document details the specific subroutines, hardware requirements, and demonstration files included.
• System Integration: To manage potential directory overflows when combining this library with the standard LIB8.RL, a modified system loader (LOADER.SV) is provided.
• Updates and Maintenance: The collection includes updated source files for the standard PS/8 LIB8 library (incorporating patches through May 1971). It also provides a modified library builder program, LIBSET.12, for maintaining the libraries.
• Configuration: The tape is pre-configured with specific system parameters for Linctape handling and Teletype simulation.
