00400	POOMAS - POOR MANS SIMULA.
00500	
00600	POOMAS IS A SET OF SUBROUTINES, MACROS ETC WHICH ALLOW A USER
00700	TO WRITE SIMULA-LIKE PROGRAMS IN BLISS.  POOMAS SUPPLIES ROUTINES
00800	FOR QUEUE HANDLING, SEQUENCING OF PROCESSES BY SIMULATED TIME,
00900	RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION, HISTOGRAM ACCUMULATION AND PRINTOUT
01000	AND THE OTHER CENTRAL SIMULA FEATURES.
01100	
01200	FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONSULT THE FILE POOMAS.DOC
01300	
01400	A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE FILES IS FOUND BELOW.
01500	
01600	POOLOG, POOEXP, POSQRT
01700	THESE ARE THE FORTRAN ROUTINES FOR LOGARITHM, EXPONENTIAL AND
01800	SQUARE ROOT MODIFIED TO BE CALLABLE FROM BLISS.
01900	
02000	POOLIB.REL, POOIO.REL
02100	THESE ARE THE POOMAS LIBRARY AND I/O CONFIGURATIONS AS DESCRIBED
02200	IN THE POOMAS DOCUMENTATION.
02300	POOLIB CONSISTS OF BLIPP, QPEP, PHELP, POODAT, RANDNO, POOLOG,
02400	POOSQRT, POOEXP
02500	  -  IE. THE .REL VERSIONS OF THESE FUDGE2ED ONTO ONE FILE.
02600	POOIO CONSISTS OF THE I/O FILES AS GIVEN ON THE COPYIO.CMD FILE,
02700	FUDGE2ED IN THE SAME MANNER.
02800	
02900	BLIPP, QPEP, PHELP, RANDNO, POODAT
03000	THESE ARE THE POOMAS MODULES AS DESCRIBED IN THE POOMAS DOCUMENTATION.
03100	
03200	POOMAS.BLI
03300	THE FILE WHICH SHOULD BE A PREFIX TO THE USERS PROGRAM.  IT
03400	CONTAINS THE MACRO, GLOBAL AND EXTERNAL DECLARATIONS AND SOME
03500	INITIALIZATION CODE NECESSARY IN ALL POOMAS PROGRAMS.
03600	
03700	POOMAS.DOC
03800	THIS IS THE POOMAS DOCUMENTATION FILE, - A REFERNCE MANUAL MORE
03900	OR LESS.
04000	
04100	COROUT.DOC
04200	THIS IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKINGS OF THE COROUTINE
04300	FACILITIES IN BLISS.  THE MANUAL IS CURRENTLY (JUNE 72) WRONG
04400	ON THIS POINT.  THIS INFO MIGHT BE HANDY FOR POOMAS USERS AND
04500	DEBUGGERS.
04600	
04700	COPYIO.CMD
04800	A PIP COMMAND FILE TO COPY THE NECESSARY FILES FOR THE I/O
04900	PACKAGE FROM JOE NEWCOMERS DISK AREA.
05000	
05100	TESTER
05200	A MODULE THAT WILL TEST MOST OF THE BASIC REPRESENTATIONS AND
05300	ROUTINES OF POOMAS.  IT WILL GENERATE ERROR MESSAGES FROM
05400	BLIPPERROR, EACH SUCH MESSAGE IS FOLLOWED BY AN "OK" OR "OK-2"
05500	DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE PRECEDING ONE OR TWO ERROR MESSAGES
05600	SHOULD BE GENERATED.  IF AN ERRORMESSAGE IS TYPED BUT NO OK,
05700	OR THE OPOSITE, AN ERROR EXISTS.  ALSO IF A MESSAGE OF FORM
05800	"BUGXX" IS TYPED.
05900	
06000	MARKET
06100	A SMALL POOMAS EXAMPLE FOR TEACHING, LEARNING OR DEBUGGING.
06200	
06300	BASYS
06400	A LARGE POOMAS PROGRAM, BASED ON A PAPER IN CSURV APPROXIMATELY
06500	1970-71.  CAN BE USED FOR DEBUGGING OR FOR LEARNING POOMAS.
06600	PROGRAMMED BY MADY BAUER. THE PROGRAM SIMULATES THE OPERATION
06700	OF A COMPUTER FACILITY.
06800	
06900	TEX.CMD, MEX.CMD, BEX.CMD
07000	COMMAND FILES TO LOAD TESTER, MARKET OR BASYS RESPECTIVELY
07100	WHEN USING THESE TO DEBUG POOMAS.  WILL LOAD THE INDIVIDUAL
07200	.REL FILES RATHER THAN POOLIB, BUT LOADS POOIO.
07300	
07400	DEFAUL.BLI
07500	A MINIMAL DEFAULT PACKAGE FOR THE I/O.  I'M NOT QUITE SURE
07600	NOW IF THIS IS USED ANY MORE.  YOU WILL DISCOVER THIS IF YOU
07700	MAKE A NEW POOIO AND THE SYSTEM MISSES THE DEFAULT ROUTINES.
07800	IN SUCH CASE INCLUDE THIS DEFAULT MODULE.
