FARGO for IBM 1401
FARGO (Fourteen-a-One Automatic Report Generating
Operation) is a report generator that requires no expert
knowledge of programming techniques. This manual explains
the writing of report specifications and the preparation of
FARGO control cards to produce the desired results. Reports
can be prepared on blank paper or preprinted report forms.
The method requires a minimum of 4,000 positions of core
storage and is applicable to card input files only.
For a list of associated publications and abstracts, see the
IBM 1401 and 1460 Bibliography, .A24-1495.
