FORTRAN, Assembler, RPG, disk and paper tape operating systems (DMS
and PTS, respectively), and a few simple application programs were
available for the 1130 when it was introduced. Over time the software
library grew to include:
- Disk Monitor System, Release 2 (DMS or DM2)
- Paper Tape System (PTS), an OS for small systems with only paper
tape I/O
- FORTRAN
- RPG
- COBOL (which compiled its programs faster than a 360/50 and was popular for learning)
- APL -- an interactive system that used the console keyboard and
Selectric printer with a special APL font
- Macro Assembler (which still has a few bugs...
see the pages on building an simulator)
- User programs, primarily shared through COMMON, a group of
scientific users of IBM computing systems
- Forth (in fact, Forth's first implementation was on the 1130, and
its name is a result of DMS's five letter limit on filenames;
otherwise we'd be using Fourth)
- A full FORTRAN IV compiler (developed at Eastern Michigan University),
an Algol compiler developed in France, and a BASIC interpreter, none of
which we have much information about
The 1130 simulator, which you may download from the simulator page, includes
has runtime kits for DMS/FORTRAN and for APL\1130. We have a large library of other
IBM 1130 software on disk and punched card, cataloged in the library, which we
plan to archive for your perusal and for use with the simulator.
