| Floating Point Interpretive System (BELL interpreter) | |
| From Bitsavers Manual 28-4024_FltDecIntrpSys.pdf | |
| Do not uses the loader stated in manual. | |
| Instead, I wrote a loader (SOAP source code is_sys_load_src.txt) | |
| that allows reading the original listing from manual and generating | |
| a 1-word per card load deck. | |
| A new deck (deck 21) has been written to defined two new | |
| O2 instructions (see is_set_loopbox.txt): | |
| set loopbox O2=800 | |
| tr zero O2=453 | |
| These instructions allows a more general use of index | |
| loopbox concept (see is_example_1_src.txt) | |
| Floating point numbers are encoded as | |
| 2300000049 = 0.23 | |
| 1000000050 = 1.0 | |
| 1500000052 = 150.0 | |
