3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION
SLIB77 is a source librarian program designed to maintain FORTRAN source code in a compressed form on magnetic disk. The program was prepared to meet program maintenance requirements for ongoing program development and continual improvement of very large programs involving many programmers from a number of different organizations. SLIB77 automatically maintains in one file the source of the current program as well as all previous modifications. Although written originally for FORTRAN programs, SLIB77 is suitable for use with data files, text files, operating systems, and other programming languages, such as Ada, C and COBOL. It can handle libraries with records of up to 160-characters. Records are grouped into DECKS and assigned deck names by the user. SLIB77 assigns a number to each record in each DECK. Records can be deleted or restored singly or as a group within each deck. Modification records are grouped and assigned modification identification names by the user. The program assigns numbers to each new record within the deck. The program has two modes of execution, BATCH and EDIT. The BATCH mode is controlled by an input file and is used to make changes permanent and create new library files. The EDIT mode is controlled by interactive terminal input and a built-in line editor is used for modification of single decks. Transferring of a library from one computer system to another is accomplished using a Portable Library File created by SLIB77 in a BATCH run.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM
Other features of SLIB77 include: user-controlled switches which can be used to control records being placed onto the compile file, the capability of reverting to an earlier library condition, options for controlling listings of deck records, provisions such that if a COMMON deck is modified all decks which call it will automatically be updated, and groups of reords within a COMMON deck may be given a group name and selectively incorporated into any deck.
