# Comanche055
|
||||
|
||||
This source code has been transcribed or otherwise adapted from digitized images of a hardcopy from the MIT Museum. The digitization was performed by Paul Fjeld, and arranged for by Deborah Douglas of the Museum. Many thanks to both.
|
||||
|
||||
The images (with suitable reduction in storage size and consequent reduction in image quality as well) are available online at www.ibiblio.org/apollo. If for some reason you find that the images are illegible, contact me at info@sandroid.org about getting access to the (much) higher-quality images which Paul actually created.

For organizatinal purposes RSB split the huge monolithic source code into smaller, more manageable chunks--i.e., into individual source
|
||||
files. Those files are rejoined as "includes". The code chunks correspond to natural divisions into sub-programs. In fact, these divisions are more-or-less specified by the source code itself. Refer to the `"SUBROUTINE CALLS"` at the very beginning of `ASSEMBLY_AND_OPERATION_INFORMATION.agc`.

that you no longer have to worry about dropping the card deck. On the other hand, I (RSB) wasn't there at the time, so I may have no idea what I'm talking about.

Finally, note that the original Apollo AGC assembler (called `YUL`) is no longer available (as far as I can tell). Actually, it had already been replaced by another assembler (called `GAP`) by the time of Apollo 11, but GAP isn't available either. The replacement assembler yaYUL accepts a slightly different format for the source code from what YUL or GAP accepted, so the source code has been targeted for assembly with yaYUL.

What follows is simply a bunch of file-includes for the individual code chunks. The page numbers have been marked to make proof-reading easier. The page images also contain a lot of interesting tables (cross-referenced to page numbers) created by GAP, but not duplicated by yaYUL, so it's still valuable even if the source-files listed below are in hand.
