Raytheon Computer's FORTRAN IV is language compatible with FORTRAN IV (version 13) used with IBM's 7094 and is a sub-set of the FORTRAN IV designed for System/360 machines. This compatibility in an efficient one-pass processor is available only with Raytheon Computer's 520. With Raytheon's FORTRAN IV you can exchange programs between the 520 and the 7094 and you can debug many 7094/360 programs on a 520 when either of the other machines is not available. Debugging is done faster if the 520 is equipped with its optional 1 microsecond memory and at lower cost, since the 520 runs about 1/20 the cost of the 7094 on an hourly basis. Equipment requirements are minimized too, since Ray theon FORTRAN IV runs on a 520 with an 8K memory.
