CINET-BASIC

This document is a technical manual for CINET-BASIC, an interpretive compiler patterned after Dartmouth BASIC and implemented for the PDP-8 series computers. The manual details how to load and execute the program, describes the language syntax including variables, mathematical functions, and control instructions, and provides guidance on operating in both stored-program and direct modes. It also includes comprehensive error message definitions, instructions for off-line program preparation, and an appendix covering CINET-BASIC extensions and related machine language utilities (such as loaders and dump programs).
