FORTRAN Programs on Magnetic Tape Among recent publications of the Office of Standard Reference Data, two have been devoted to descriptions of a number of general-purpose computer Refers to computers that follow instructions, thus virtually all computers from micro to mainframe are general purpose. Even computers in toys, games and single-function devices follow instructions in their built-in program. programs for file manipulation, text editing, and data retrieval. A magnetic tape has been released through the Clearinghouse for Federal and Scientific and Technical Information. This tape is identified by the CFSTI CFSTI Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information Number PB-183142.4 The price of this tape represents a very small fraction of what it would cost to keypunch To punch holes in a punch card. Although punch cards are obsolete, some people still say "keys are punched" on a keyboard. the programs (in excess of 2500 cards) from the published reports. The tape contains blocked card images of program decks for a series of general purpose computer programs for data and file manipulation, text editing, and data retrieval. The programs, developed by the staff of the Data System Design Group of the Office of Standard Reference Data, are written in as neutral a dialect of FORTRAN as possible so that they can be run with little or no modification on any computer having a FORTRAN compiler. The tape consists of two files of records of 720 characters each. Each record consists of nine 80-column card images. The first field of 37 records contains the REFORM program as listed and described in REFORM. A General-Purpose Program for Manipulating Formatted Data Files' (40cents), in NBS (National Bureau of Standards) See NIST. NBS - National Bureau of Standards: part of the US Department of Commerce, now NIST. Tech. Note 444, by R.C. McClenon and J. Hilsenrath. The REFORM program makes it possible to manipulate files containing as many as nine different card formats. It can select or abridge TO ABRIDGE, practice. To make shorter in words, so as to retain the sense or substance. In law it signifies particularly the making of a declaration or count shorter, by taking or severing away some of the substance from it. Brook, tit. Abridgment; Com. Dig. Abridgment; 1 Vin. Ab. 109. information from any of the cards and print that information in any desired order of arrangement. Provision is made for introducing as many as 26 arbitrary strings of characters each of which may be up to 79 characters in length, thereby permitting the insertion of labels, headings, or comments into the file. The second file of 248 records contains a number of programs as listed and described in EDPAC: Utility Programs for Computer-Assisted Editing, Copy-Production and Data Retrieval' (70 cents), NBS Tech. Note 470, by C. G. Messina and J. Hilsenrath. EDPAC is a package of five related utility computer programs: SCRAMBLE, SUBSTITUTE, SEARCH, BLOCKSEARCH, and JUSTIFY, SCRAMBLE scans an input file for specified characters that it replaces by different characters. SUBSTITUTE similarly replaces strings of characters with other strings. SEARCH and BLOCKSEARCH scan for the occurence of certain strings and list the line of blocks, respectively, in which they occur. JUSTIFY produces right-hand justified text for printing on a card-control typewriter or on an extended character line printer. A COMPUTER CODE FOR RECOMBINATION recombination, process of "shuffling" of genes by which new combinations can be generated. In recombination through sexual reproduction, the offspring's complete set of genes differs from that of either parent, being rather a combination of genes from both parents.
