There is a
copy in MIT Museum archives, although I
have not so far had the privilege of seeing it.
Mr. Alexander Brown tells us additionally that the MIT copy is marked
"Luminary IA, 14 July, 1969." The date is odd, since it would be
far too late to actually have been included in the Apollo 11 mission,
but Hugh Blair-Smith speculates that this is the date of the printing
rather than of the program build. One of the original AGC
programmers, Mr. Allan Klumpp, also has a copy. Allan's copy is
awaiting scanning to be made available online at klabs.org, which we are eagerly
anticipating. When the online copy is available, I'll provided an
executable version for Virtual AGC as soon as possible. Note: A comparison of
memory-bank checksums ("bugger words") has now been made between the
MIT and Klumpp listings (thanks to Paul Fjeld and Allan Klumpp), and it
has been found that these two listings have a small difference in
memory bank 6. In other words, they are not precisely the
same! But perhaps there has been an error in the comparison
procedure. If/when more is known, I'll let you know about it. |

Mr. Paul Fjeld has also told me (or speculated) that the listing from which these scans were created was originally preserved by Don Eyles (one of the programmers), and then copied/reduced by Hugh Blair-Smith (whose name appears frequently on this site), via James Kernan (another of the original programmers), for David Craig (whose ex libris appears on p. 2 of the scan, and who is apparently a great collector of Apollo artifacts). Somehow it was passed to Mr. Gary Neff, who created the scans, which he gave back to Mr. Craig, and which were then placed online at MIT's History of Recent Science and Technology website. That website has now disappeared, but an improved scan is hosted here at Virtual AGC. (Whew! "Many hands make the work Luminary.") By the way, Mr. Neff also kindly provided me with a replacement for a page which is garbled in the MIT version. |

Allan Klumpp (one of
the AGC programmers) tells me that he believes
Luminary 1D build 209 was used for these flights, and he was certainly
in a position to know. Any information that would help to resolve
this discrepancy would be welcome. Mr. Klumpp's copy of 1D build
209 is awaiting scanning to be made available online at klabs.org, which we are eagerly
anticipating. |

| Filename.s |
Source code for major subdivisions of the Luminary program. |
| MAIN.s |
Organizer which treats all of
the other assembly-language files (*.s) as include-files, to form the
complete program. |
| Luminary131.binsource |
Human-readable form of the
Luminary binary executable. |
| Luminary131.bin |
Binary executable created from
Luminary131.binsource. |
Technically speaking....A point which may not be completely appreciated is that Luminary131.bin was not created from the assembly-language source files. Therefore, the byte-for-byte equivalence mentioned above actually has some significance. In fact, both the assembly-language source code and Luminary131.bin (or Luminary131.binsource) come from separate readings of the original Luminary assembly listing scan, so their equivalence provides an important check on validity. (See below.) The file Luminary131.bin was created from the human-readable/editable ASCII file Luminary131.binsource by means of the program Oct2Bin, with the following steps:cd
Luminary131
./Oct2Bin <Luminary131.binsource mv Oct2Bin.bin Luminary131.bin Admittedly, few people are likely to perform any processing of this kind unless contibuting a new version of the Luminary code to the Virtual AGC project. |
