(SSV) MSE - Imlac multiple-screen program #1398

Open larsbrinkhoff opened 5 years ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 5 years ago

From "A Dynamic Debugging System for MDL", by @jmberez:

The terminal most commonly used by users of the Dynamic Modeling System is the IMLAC PDS-1. This is a minicomputer capable of having programs loaded into it from the PDP-10 host computer. One program written for it by Dave Lebling is MSC, a multiple-screen terminal program. Up to four virtual screens (or pages) can be created that will individually operate like the actual screen area of the standard terminal program (SSV). Output may be directed toa ny one of the screens and any screen may be visible or invisible at any instant of time, at the programmer’s option. Selection of screen is controllable either by program from the host or locally by the user.

SSV is issue #1001.

The INIT program knows about an Imlac program called MSE, but not MSC.
