Description: This program allowed data to be transferred between the TX-0 and PDP-1 computers at MIT. DEC gave an early PDP-1 system to MIT, where it was installed in a room next to the TX-0, an early computer developed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory in the late 1950s. The PDP-1 is considered a direct descendent of the TX-0 as two of the key engineers who worked on it, Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson, co-founded DEC.
