D. User Software
1. Processors
CCN provides the following user software:
-
The usual FORTRAN compilers (FORT G. FORT H. WATFOR);
-
PL/1 (version 5) and PL/C (Cornell's student PL/1);
-
Assembler G;
-
IBM Algol F;
-
IBM Linkage Editor F, and a fast in-core linkage editor written at CCN;
-
Miscellaneous processors, including: COBOL, SPI, XP7, META-5, SNOBOL, LISP 1.5, AUTOFLOW SIMSCRIPT 1.5, MIX (Knuth's student machine), CSMP, GPSS, ECAP, APT, PMS, MATLAN, SYMAP, SPSS, and the BMD series}
-
the IBM file utilities, SORT, and RPG.
2. Interactive Systems
a) URSA Conversational remote job entry system based
on alphanumeric display consoles (IBM 2260
and CCI CC301 consoles). URSA provides a
number of other services, including a "desk
calculator", an interactive/interpretive
assembler, and on-line utilities for manipu-
lation of the OS file system. It also con
tains the CCN operator interface to MVT.
URSA is not suitable for typewriter interaction
because it is designed for "instantaneous" dis
play of at least 480 characters at a time.
b) APL IBM Program Product version of this well-known
interactive system. Currently supports IBM 2741's
(Selectric typewriter terminals) only.
c) OLMS UCLA implementation of the Culler-Fried system;
nearly identical in language to the UCSX On-line
System.
d) TSO IBM's new general purpose time-sharing subsystem
under MVT, to be available at CCS sometime during
1971. TSO supports 2741's and Teletypes (and at
CCN it will support CCI consoles). TSO is
reminiscent of CTSS in its capabilities and
command language.
