FORTRAN IV Compiler-Loader for the Wang 520/600 Calculator

Howard M. Bloom, Arthur Hausner, Robert J. Kushlis · 1976

Abstract : This paper describes a compiler system that will translate FORTRAN IV programs into programs that will run on the Wang 520/600 programmable calculator. The system includes an option to generate the Wang programs on punched cards that can be input into the 520 or 600 via a mark-sense card reader. The compiler was written in FORTRAN IV for the IBM 370/195 computer. Only a few minor changes are necessary to run the system on a different computer. This paper includes a detailed description on the types of optimization used to yield an effective FORTRAN translation onto a relatively small computer (i.e., desk calculator).
