COGO Inst Jun78

This document is the COGO-10/20 Installation Guide, published in June 1978 by Digital Equipment Corporation.

It is designed for system managers of DECsystem-10 or DECSYSTEM-20 computer installations utilizing the TOPS-10 or TOPS-20 Operating Systems. The guide provides comprehensive, step-by-step procedures for building and installing the COGO program from its distribution medium, which is a 9-channel magtape.

Key sections include:

• Details on the distribution medium and order numbers for both TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 versions.
• Specific installation procedures for COGO-10/20, broken down into separate tables for TOPS-10 and TOPS-20. These procedures cover mounting the distribution tape, transferring files, compiling (noting the requirement for FORTRAN Version 5A or later for recompilation), linking, and saving the executable program.
• Instructions for customizing COGO default values using a text editor.
• A section on running a test problem to verify the successful installation, complete with example input and expected output.
