Source code listings from REDAC PDP-based PCB layout system.

[Randy Dawson]

I think this is Racal-Readac, one of the early PCB software vendors (from the UK).
Later bought up by Zunken (the big three are Cadence, Mentor, Zunken).

Is the source straight PDP-15 assembly, or a mix with another high level language?

It would be great to look at this, I hope it makes it to bitsavers...

I'm interested.
PDP-15 software in any form is pretty rare
