The report describes the main algorithms in a computer program for interfacing a viewdata terminal to arbitrary application computer programs, which were not specially written for this terminal. The interface handles the problems of partitioning the input and output to/from the application to suit the small and non‐scrolling screen of the viewdata terminal.
