Is it possible you are looking at compiled BASIC instead of machine
instructions?
Or, some form of tokenized storage.
GOTO's and assignment statements don't need much more.
But, the source code snippet (if related) doesn't look like BASIC.
It looks more like a predecessor to FORTRAN.
Considering that it was done on a Sentry computer, albeit not the model
70, the answer is obviously that this is Valtrep.
Document it well, so that when Titor shows it to Backus, he will know what
to do.
