I'm sure there are some that I've missed, and some TOPS-20 specific ones. -Joe PDP-10 extensions File system SYS = system file (SWAP.SYS, SAT.SYS, HOME.SYS) UFD = user file directory SFD = sub file directory Program binaries REL = relocatable object file (input to LINK-10 or LOADER) OVL = overlay (pre-virtual memory) SAV = zero-compressed executable binary DMP = uncompressed core dump LOW = low segment of a two-segment program HGH = high segment of a two-segment program SHR = shareable hiseg EXE = page-mapped executable binary Compilers (all of these create REL files) MAC = MACRO-10 Assembler FOR = FORTRAN-10 F40 = FORTRAN-4 F77 = FORTRAN-77 SIT = Steven's Institute of Technology load-and-go Fortran-77 CBL = COBOL SNO = SNOBOL SAI = SAIL FAI = FAIL BLI = BLISS-10 B36 = BLISS-36 PAL = program assembly language (PDP-8 code cross-compiled on a PDP-10) ALG = ALGOL MOD = MODULA-II PAS = PASCAL Text files BAK = editors rename their input to create a backup file TEC = TECO macro HLP = help file TXT = genral text MEM = memo RNO = RUNOFF input, creates MEM DOC = general documentation RND = RUNOFF input, created DOC PLM = program logic manual LPT = line printer output CTL = batch control file LOG = batch log file MIC = macro interpreted commands (sort of like a BAT file on MS-DOS) CMD = indirect command file CCL = concise command language; used by COMPIL.EXE to talk to compilers TMP = temporary DDT = commands for the DDT debugger, or FILDDT file patcher PAT = commands for the DDT debugger, or FILDDT file patcher SCM = source compare - FILCOM output showing differences by line BCM = binary compare - FILCOM output showing differences by octal words Binary files DAT = general data, might be text or binary BIN = general binary PLT = plotter (one byte per increment) QUE = print queue, submit queue, plot queue -- INWAP.COM is Joe and Sally Smith, John and Chris O'Halloran and our cats See http://www.inwap.com/ for "ReBoot", PDP-10, and Clan MacLeod.

I was involved in a project to compare "systems programming" languages on the DECsystem-10. We started with a BCPL program which produced cross references for BCPL programs and then rewrote it in various languages (Simula-67, Algol-60, Algol-68, Pascal, Macro-10, BLISS-10). My favorite was BLISS-10 of course, although I still have a soft spot for Algol-68. When I'm rich enough, I might just buy a copy of the Algol-68 compiler for Windows. -- Huw Davies | e-mail: Huw.Davies@latrobe.edu.au Information Technology Services | Phone: +61 3 9479 1550 Fax: +61 3 9479 1999 La Trobe University | "My Alfas keep me poor in a monetary Melbourne Australia 3083 | sense, but rich in so many other ways"
