Manuals and Reports -- Overview

This section is for a variety of reports which do not fit elsewhere.

• The safety report on tape storage was unearthed only recently.
• The RAL Program Library was started in the days of the 360/195 and revised at regular intervals. It contained mainly 360 assembler routines providing better performance than an equivalent Fortran routine. As Fortran evolved, many of the early routines became redundant. The document here is a snapshot of the routines in March 1987.
