Tapelook; Corelook; Search

This document serves as the program library documentation for three diagnostic and utility programs written in LINC code for use with DIAL systems:

• TAPELOOK: A DIAL tape examiner (referred to as "super MAGSPY") that allows users to display, navigate, and examine tape contents. It provides features to view data as text, plots, or LINC-code instructions, and supports an editor display mode for DIAL source programs.
• CORELOOK: A utility for examining the contents of 8K core memory. It allows users to view locations, contents, and instructions, and provides a map of memory to help identify occupied areas.
• SEARCH: A utility for scanning the DIAL source working area for a specific search string. It displays all lines containing the search term and provides line numbers for the matches found.

The document includes operational instructions, key commands, and technical implementation details for each program, all of which were developed by David C. Freeman at Harvard Medical School.
