1247	 An Operating Environment for Dynamic-Recursive Computer Programming Systems	 Presented in this paper is a brief nontechnical introduction to OEDIPUS a computer programming system which can serve as an operating environment for dynamic and or recursive programs and programming systems. The available services include dynamic allocation of storage for contiguous blocks of arbitrary size input and output for a hierarchy of data types a public pushdown list for automatic recursive programming a rudimentary compiler for subroutine communication and bookkeeping and debugging aids.
