00040	COMMENT INPUTTING AND OUTPUTTING DEC 10 TEXT FILES:   (May 1977)
   00080	--------------------------------------------------
  00120	
  00160	     By Jacob Palme, Swedish National Defense Research Institute,
  00200	     S-104 50 Stockholm 80, Sweden.
  00240	
  00280	     This program contains a class FILED (which can be separately
  00320	     compiled) to input and output DEC 10 ASCII-7-formatted text
   00360	     files in SIMULA. The program can handle both unnumbered and
   00400	     line numbered text files. For numbered files, the program will
00440	     ensure that the output file has the format on line numbers
    00480	     required by other DEC 10 text handling programs like for
 00520	     example SOS. Lines lacking line numbers will be given such
    00560	     numbers.
    00600	
  00640	     The good facilities for text handling in SIMULA makes it a
    00680	     useful language for text handling programs like editors,
 00720	     programming language translators, compilers, pre-compilers etc.
    00760	
  00800	     However, the reading and writing of text files on the DEC 10,
 00840	     especially line numbered files, is rather tricky in SIMULA. By
00880	     using this program, you avoid those problems.
  00920	
  00930	     The program also contains facilities to protect you
 00933	     from inputting and outputting the same file and for over-
00936	     writing the output file. If the output file already
 00939	     exists, the existing file is renamed to a backup name
    00942	     with an extension beginning with the letter Q.
