. Fix character-mode LEQ comparison bug reported by essentialexch on GitHub as issue #1. . Also corrected bad bitsavers.org URL in APL-UW-Kildall/README.txt.
Burroughs B5500-related utility programs for "Emode"
These programs are all written originally for the retro-b5500 emulator
project, to run under "Emode", the architecture for modern Unisys
ClearPath MCP systems. These systems are direct descendents of the B5500
through the B6500, B6x00/B7x00, and A Series systems.
The "xem" programs are B5500 compilers modified to run under Emode.
"xem" stands for "cross-compiled under Emode".
xem/ALGOLXEM.alg_m
The B5500 Mark-XVI Algol compiler ported to Emode. It compiles B5500
Algol programs (using the ASCII character substitutions established
by retro-b5500) and generates binary B5500 object code. It is the
full compiler, but does not implement merging CARD and TAPE source
files, nor the CAST library mechanism. It compiles from the CARD
file only.
xem/ESPOLXEM.alg_m
The B5500 Mark-XVI ESPOL compiler ported to Emode. It compiles B5500
ESPOL programs (using the ASCII character substitutions established
by retro-b5500) and generates both binary B5500 code files and
EBCDIC "card decks" as disk files. Like ALGOLXEM, it does not
implement the full source input merging mechanism and compiles from
the CARD file only.
B5500.POWTEN.alg_m
Progrram to generate B5500 power-of-ten values in octal. The output
of this program was used to proof the Mark-XVI Algol compiler
transcription.
BICTOEBCDIC.alg_m
Program to convert files coded using 6-bit BIC (B5500 Internal Code)
to 8-bit EBCDIC. It was specifically designed to convert B5500 code
files generated by ALGOLXEM and ESPOLXEM to a more readable form.
CODEDUMP55.alg_m
Program to format a B5500 code file in octal to a line printer file.
It also interprets the fields in Segment 0 and the segment
dictionary. It was written to debug ALGOLXEM.
EMODE.POWTEN.dat_m
Output from running B5500.POWTEN.alg_m on a Unisys LX100 server.
INCL2OMIT.alg_m
Program to convert $INCLUDE and $OMIT pragmas in Mark XIII and
earlier ESPOL source files to the newer $SET OMIT/$POP OMIT scheme
used by Mark XVI and later compilers. This was written to allow the
Mark XIII MCP source to be compiled with ESPOLXEM during early
development of retro-b5500.
LIBMAINT-EXTRACT.alg_m
An Algol program to extract individual files from a B5500 Library/
Maintenance tape image in .bcd format and convert them to EBCDIC
text under a specified directory.
NEATUP.alg_m
Prgram to reformat source code for Emode Algol originally written by
Dave Brown of U.S. Customs in San Diego, California, and modified
slightly by Paul Kimpel.
NEATUP-DO.wfl_m
A CANDE DO command illustrating the use of NEATUP and its options.
NEATUP55.alg_m
A clone of NEATUP.alg_m, modified to reformat the transcriptions of
the Mark XVI Algol and ESPOL compiler sources in preparation for the
ALGOLXEM and ESPOLXEM portations.
NEATUP-ESPOLXEM.alg_m
MCP CANDE "DO" file containing the NEATUP parameters used to
reformat the ESPOLXEM source.
NEATUPINFO.alg_m
Program to decode the "Lexicon" tables used by NEATUP. It was
written as an aid to cloning NEATUP55 from NEATUP.
TAPBCD.alg_m
An Algol program to convert a .tap (taput) tape image to .bcd
format.
