TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A text processing system having a high data rate cyclic memory interfaced with a low data rate text processor through a random access memory for processing text stored in the cyclic memory. Text character codes and control codes are initially stored in the cyclic memory. Depending on the system operation to be performed, selected character and control codes are transferred from the cyclic memory to the random access memory until the capacity thereof is reached. Thereafter, the character and control codes stored in the random access memory are gated out to the text processor for processing.
