This document describes RUN-14, a program written in PDP-8 assembly language. Its purpose is to enable a PDP-8 computer to act as the memory for a PDP-14 computer, thereby allowing the PDP-14 to execute programs stored within the PDP-8's memory. The document provides detailed instructions for loading and using RUN-14, including specific steps for both 1K and 4K PDP-14 programs, hardware configuration (M745 interface, M746 I/O registers), and switch settings. It also outlines the program's operational details, explaining how RUN-14 manages the fetching and execution of PDP-14 instructions, handles program states such as stopping or hanging (displaying "PDP-14 STOPPED AT XXXX" or "PDP-14 HUNG" respectively), and outputs register contents via a teleprinter. The document includes the assembly language listing for the program.
