Abstract

The Automated Documentation System (ADS) is a computer program and user procedure designed to facilitate management of the development of software and the production of final documentation of FORTRAN programs. The ADS system can be used in two ways. (1) At any point during development of the software, the status of the development process can be determined by application of the program to the source code under development. Flow charts and internal documentation are summarized for the program manager. (2) After the software is complete, external documentation can be produced from the internal documentation and compilation maps by running the ADS program. The ADS program is written in Control Data Corporation (CDC) FORTRAN extended, version 4.6 and can be used on CDC 6000/7000 series computers with few or no modifications. This report provides detailed user instructions for ADS. (Author)
