The following is a brief synopsis of the software available in Tom Uban's archive at: http://www.ubanproductions.com/imlac_sw.html.
Filename Loader Start Description / Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2locFltPtMathSrc.ptp N/A N/A Assembly code, presumably floating point math routines.
40tp_blockPunch1.0.ptp PTR Var Block Punch utility (see blockpunch.pdf for usage).
40tp_debugger5.0.ptp PTR Auto Debugger utility (see debugger.pdf)
40tp_eightLevelTest2.1AlphaGraphic.ptp PTR Unk Presumably a test for the 8-level DT stack, dttest.pdf is likely the
documentation.
40tp_lightPen1.0.ptp PTR Auto Basic LightPen test (unknown usage)
40tp_longVectorTest.ptp PTR Auto Long Vector (LVH) test utility (see longvectest.pdf for usage).
(Ensure bit 0 of DS is set to run)
40tp_loSpeedAssm601.ptp PTR 100 Two-pass Imlac assembler (see lowspeedassembler.pdf for usage).
40tp_simpleDisplay.ptp PTR 100 Prints "HELLO" in the center of the screen. This looks to be identical
to the sample program listed on pages VI-2.18 through VI-2.21 of the
PDS-1 Technical Manual (PDS-1_TechnicalMan.pdf). Ensure Bit 0 of DS is
set when running.
40tp_spacewar2.5.ptp PTR 100 Extraordinarly crude version of "Space War!" Looks to be a work in
progress.
40tp_symFormII_1.2C1_8kg.ptp PTR 100 Some manner of symbol editor. Appears to allow creation of characters
and symbols; arrow keys move the cursor, and "B" draws a vector from
the last point to the current cursor location.
40tp_tse-4_supGrid.ptp PTR 100 Appears to be a basic visual Text Editor. Ensure Bit 0 of DS is set
when running.
40tp_ttyio.ptp PTR 5400 TIO (Teletype Input Output). Allows using a teletype to debug the system.
See tio.pdf and tiosrc.pdf for usage and source code.
40tp_upperMemTest1.ptp PTR Auto Upper Memory Test 1. See memtest.pdf for usage.
binldr.i N/A N/A Assembly code for Binary TTY 2nd stage "block" loader.
binldr.list N/A N/A Assembler list for above
blinkg.txt STTY Auto Unknown; displays blinking cursor at upper left and appears to use the
TTY inteface. Ensure Bit 0 of DS is set when running.
check (long) TTY Auto Long-vector version of Checkers. See checkers.pdf for usage. Ensure
bit 0 of DS is set when running.
check (short) TTY 100 Short Vector version of Checkers. See check.doc for usage.
clock.txt STTY Auto Displays an analog clock.
core16k TTY Auto Displays an octal dump of core onscreen. Arrow keys scroll through
memory, an address can be typed in at the bottom left of the screen,
hitting space wil jump to that address. Unsure if memory can be edited.
coreop TTY Auto Displays a basic disassembly of core contents. Arrow keys scroll, an
address can be typed in at the bottom left, space will jump to that
address.
crash TTY Auto Unknown. (Perhaps a variant of crashmit.txt below. Does not currently
run.)
crashmit.txt STTY Auto Simple "Lunar Lander" clone; currently runs extremely fast making it
unplayable. Arrow keys control thrust.
cubic.txt STTY Auto Unknown.
debug TTY Auto Debugger. Does not currently work correctly; see debugger.pdf for usage.
debug2.txt STTY Auto Debugger, appears to work. See debugger.pdf for usage.
dts TTY Auto Unknown, possibly a terminal emulator. Displays a cursor at the top left.
fortranARDSsrc.ptp N/A N/A FORTRAN source. Unknown purpose.
imquad TTY Auto "Space War!" clone. Data Switches are used as controls (unsure of exact
mapping). DS 0 must be set. CR restarts.
integerMath.ptp N/A N/A Assembly code, presumably for integer math routines.
keybrd.txt STTY Auto "Keyboard Diagnostic 1." Displays onscreen keyboard, keys borders light
up as keys are pressed. Row of numbers at the top shows repeat count,
scancode, and third number of unknown purpose (appears to always be 0).
lemwar TTY Auto "Lunar Lander" clone, appears to be unfinished. Arrow keys control
thrust, CR restarts.
life STTY Auto Conway's "Game Of Life". Set DS bit 0 to run. Arrow keys move cursor
around grid. "C" toggles a cell on or off, "Q" resets the grid, "R"
runs a single step, "G" runs continuously, and "H" halts the run.
lowerMemTest1.ptp PTR Auto Lower memory test, see memtest.pdf for usage.
maze TTY Auto Generates mazes (hit CR when the grid appears to start) and places a mouse
at one side and a cheese wedge at the other; use the arrow keys to move
the mouse through the maze.
munch TTY Auto The famous "Munching Squares" demo. Change the DS switch settings to
generate different patterns. Trippy.
newapollo STTY Auto Another "Lunar Lander" clone. Use arrow keys to adjust thrust, CR to
restart. Ensure DS bit 0 is set.
nspwar TTY Auto Another space war clone; unsure of the controls -- all I can do at the moment
is make my ship explode. (May use data switches -- DS 0 must be set to run.)
pinball TTY Auto Pinball game. Seems to want a Digitizer tablet in order to actually play.
pixlib.txt STTY Unk Unknown. Given the name, not likely to be a standalone program.
pong.txt STTY Auto The classic paddle game.
rom3 TTY Unk Based on the .i file, looks to be some manner of TTY loader.
rom3.i
snarf STTY Auto Fun game -- hunt the moving circles. See snarf.pdf or snarf.doc for usage details.
snarf2.i Patch for above, unknown what it fixes / changes.
snarf (short) TTY 100 Presumably a short-vector version of the above.
spwar TTY 100 Looks to be the same lame "Space War!" clone as 40tp_spacewar2.5.ptp.
ssv.txt STTY Auto Describes itself as "SSV.22." This is a terminal emulator / debugger used at MIT
to talk with their ITS systems.
sts TTY 100 Some manner of text editor. Wants a digitizer tablet. Set DS bit 0.
stsold TTY Auto Presumably an older version of sts. Runs but behaves oddly.
sts-short TTY Auto Very similar to stsold.
t_d8level TTY Auto Likely the same as 40tp_eightLevelTest2.1AlphaGraphic.ptp.
t_longvec TTY 100 Same as 40tp_longVectorTest.ptp.
t_lowmem TTY Auto Same as lowerMemtest1.ptp.
t_upmem TTY Auto Same as 40tp_upperMemTest1.ptp.
tank (long) TTY Auto Tank game, long vector version; see tank.doc for details.
tank2.i N/A N/A Assembly language patch for one of these here tank games. Unknown
purpose.
tank (short) TTY Auto Tank game, short vector version. See tank.doc for details.
teksim TTY Auto Terminal emulator for the venerable Tektronix 4010.
tis TTY Auto Another terminal emulator.
tse4 TTY Auto Looks to be the same as 40tp_tse-4_supGrid.ptp.
unlabeled.ptp PTR Auto Possibly a duplicate of one of the debuggers.
war STTY Auto An actually good clone of "Space War!". Very similar in appearance to
the PDP versions. Supports three players, and is self-documenting!
wumpus TTY Auto "Hunt The Wumpus." Unsure how to play, but it has nifty graphics.
xpw TTY Auto Unknown.
yogi TTY Auto Some manner of editor. See yogi2.doc and yogireq.doc for details.
