I may have a SKED manual somewhere, but I never used it, because the real-time
stuff I had to do outclassed SKED, and the non-real-time isn't what SKED is
for.

SKED really doesn't give you much of a PDP-8-specific viewpoint; it could have
been written for about anything, but just happened to be an early -8 program
that was available for a limited audience that could make use of it.

A lot of PDP-8 users really expected that off-the-shelf software was going to
somehow do what they wanted.  Much of my work was based upon fixing up for the
mistakes of that notion, etc.
