I'm trying to get some code that was written in 1977 working again. I've
gotten a PDP-11 emulator working but the version of BASIC that is on it
doesn't know the 'FILE #1="DNG1' command. I've been digging through
BASIC
manuals for BASIC-11 and BASIC-Plus but so far they either don't have an
file reading or their file reading commands don't match that syntax.
Googling has led me to a few other versions of BASIC that were on the PDP-11
but I can't find manuals for them.
Can you point me in the right direction?

Judging by the date format, that might be CDC Basic (since CDC liked dates starting with
the year and times with period for separator). So I would suggest finding the CDC Basic
(for the 60 bit mainframes, KRONOS or NOS or SCOPE or NOS/BE) manual.
