Flanders, Jr, K L

The presentation, Applicon/IBM Interface, describes the functions made available to the Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) group by providing a method of transferring machine readable copies of drawings from CAD's Applicon system to the IBM based Central Computer Facility (CCF). The Calcomp 925 format is used as the format when transferring drawings between the two systems. The development of a simulator which runs on the IBM host system is complete. This simulator decodes and interprets the Calcomp 925 instructions and produces commands to drive the IBM host attached Versatec 42'' plotter, thus providing the ability for CAD-generated drawings to be plotted on the host attached plotter.
