Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: BASIC-11/RT-11, Version 2
DESCRIPTION:
BASIC is a high-level conversational programming
language, developed at Dartmouth College, that uses
simple English-like statements and familiar mathematical notations to perform an operation. Because of
its conversational structure, BASIC is simple enough
for the inexperienced programmer while having capability sufficient to control all of the system resources.
Because of its simplicity, BASIC reduces programming time for developing applications programs.
BASIC-11/RT-11 is an incremental, interactive, interpretive compiler operating under the RT -11
operating system.
BASIC-11/RT-11 features include:
• A variety of program manipulation commands including commands for saving, editing, running and
retrieving BASIC programs.
• Support for real, integer, double precision and
string data types.
• Immediate mode statements for debugging and
desk calculator usage.
• Sequential data storage using the RT -11 file system.
• String capability, including string arrays and functions.
• Disk virtual arrays for string, integer and real data
types.
• Chaining with COMMON to accomodate large programs.
• CALL facility for invoking assembly language subroutines using a PDP-11 FORTRAN-compatible
calling interface.
• Formatted output using the PRINT USING statement.

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
One of the following:
• Any valid RT -11 operating system configuration. At
least 32K bytes of memory are recommended for
speed and support of all BASIC-11 features.
• Any valid PDT-11 1150 system config u ration
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
Supports any mass storage, unit record or terminal
device supported by RT-11, with the additions of:
• KE11-B Extended Arithmetic Element
• KE11-E Extended Instruction Set
