Abstract

A description of a Turing Machine simulator, programmed on the CDC 3300 Digital Computer, using the COMPASS programming languages Version 2.0 of the 0S3 system. The simulator will build a quintuple list from the input of a Turing Machine, then execute the machine as dictated by the data to be analyzed. The printed results will give the answer obtained by the use of the machine. The simulator will also allow a Turing Machine to be saved, retrieved, corrected or destroyed on a file. This simulator is unique in that it enables a user to design a Turing Machine to write and execute a second Turing Machine.
