            _U_s_a_g_e

                 unoct  [ <filename> ]


            _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n

                 'Unoct'  will read the ASCII output of the UNIX program 'od'
                 (octal dump) present  on  the  named  file,  convert  it  to
                 binary,  and  write  the  result in sixbit code suitable for
                 loading on the GT40 graphics terminal.  (If the filename  is
                 omitted, standard input is assumed.)

                 At  present,  'unoct' is necessary for loading such programs
                 as FOCAL-GT.


            _E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s

                 unoct focal


            _M_e_s_s_a_g_e_s

                 "<filename>:  can't open" for obvious problems.


            _B_u_g_s

                 'Unoct' is kind of an ad hoc solution  to  the  object  code
                 porting  problem  that  will hopefully become unnecessary in
                 the near future.   It  is  also  somewhat  peculiar  to  the
                 environs of Georgia Tech.

                 Locally supported.
