Time-Sharing Monitors

This manual provides comprehensive documentation for the PDP-10 Time-Sharing Monitors, specifically the Multiprogramming (10/40) and Swapping (10/50) systems. It covers:

• Monitor Commands: Detailed explanations of system access, facility allocation, run control, and job management commands.
• User Programming: Information on the user mode, programmed operators (UUOs), trapping, and timing control.
• Input/Output Programming: A guide to device-independent I/O, file handling, buffered data modes, and status checking.
• Device Dependent Functions: Descriptions of specific I/O devices, including Teletype, paper tape, line printers, card readers, DECtape, and magnetic tape.
• Disk Structure: Technical details on disk file structures and user programming for disk storage.

This document is essential for developers writing software that runs within these PDP-10 time-sharing environments, as it explains both user-level commands and the underlying programmed operator interface.
