Burroughs B5500 Utilities: Richard Cornwell
reader.card
A compile deck for the OBJECT/READER utility program. This was
reconstructed by inference from scanned PDF listings at
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/burroughs/B5000_5500_5700/listing/.
The program can be used to print a deck of cards, print a file from
disk or tape, or copy a deck of cards to disk or tape. Its behavior
is controlled by COMMON and file-equation control cards. See the
comment in the source for details.
The following example will copy a deck of cards to a disk file named
CARDS/ONDISK, using the standard blocking for B5500 source files
(10-word records, 150-word blocks). The file will also be printed:
?RUN OBJECT/READER; COMMON = 3
?FILE NEWTAPE = CARDS/ONDISK DISK SERIAL
?FILE LINE = LINE PRINT BACKUP DISK
?DATA CARD
:
: <deck of cards>
:
?END
This deck will compile the program to disk as OBJECT/READER, store
its source as SYMBOL/READER on disk, and create a compile listing.
