Abstract:

This document contains full information for installing and operating a program which is designed to translate the FORTRAN from the PLANIT programming Language for Interaction Teaching system of programs into the TACPOL language for compilation on the ANGYK-12 computer. PLANIT is an interactive training system which is now operational on the ANGYK-12, having been installed via the program herein described. While the normal method for installing the PLANIT system requires the existence of a FORTRAN compiler on the target computer, this was circumvented for the ANGYK-12 installation by developing the Translator TRANSL program to first translate the FORTRAN into TACPOL for use with the PSS-B compiler, the only compiler on the ANGYK-12. Although the installation of PLANIT is complete on the ANGYK-12 computer, future updates of PLANIT may necessitate additional use for the TRANSL program.
