My recollection is that the DEC SSP was a transcription of the IBM 1130 SSP,
plain vanilla Fortran66.  All upper case, looking like card images.
Nothing but 3-branch arithmetic IF's.  (Dec Fortran IV for the PDP11).

I must have a couple of tapes and even an RK05 pack lying around with this
software on it.  But unless there is a real nostalgia value, newer and
better versions of almost everything can be found in Numerical Recipes.
