A programmer's utility filing system

M. V. Wilkes *

A modern trend in computer organization is to provide facilities for a user to keep on magnetic tape or on a disc file all the information that he is likely to require in the immediate future. This includes current programs, old programs likely to be required again, and data of all kinds. PUFS is a system by which a user can create, edit, and up-date files of information which are stored on a magnetic medium in a form which is an exact image of the form in which they are written on paper.
