DEC-10-XSPLA-J-D DECsystem-10 20 Software Components Catalogue Oct76

This document is the "DECsystem-20 and DECsystem-10 Software Components Catalogue," published in October 1976 by Digital Equipment Corporation. It serves as a comprehensive listing of software products and their components available for these systems, updated quarterly.

The catalogue covers various categories, including:

• Reference manuals and cards for both DECsystem-20 and DECsystem-10.
• Miscellaneous system software documentation.
• PM (Preventive Maintenance) procedures.
• A significant portion is dedicated to diagnostic software, which is detailed for a wide array of DEC hardware components such as processors, memory, tape drives, disk drives, displays, and communication interfaces.
• Engineering drawings.

Key guidelines note that software can be acquired as kits or individual components. Importantly, diagnostic software explicitly does not require a license, unlike some other system software which may require one (though documents never do). The catalogue provides detailed ordering codes, specifies various distribution media (e.g., papertape, dectape, magtape, floppy disk), and states that pricing and availability are subject to change, with updates issued quarterly to provide the most current versions.
