This paper discusses an external function program that has been developed to enable a PDP11-BASIC user to control the operations of a general-purpose analo gue computer and other external devices using the EXF statement. The result is in effect a digital/analogue hybrid computing facility that can play an important role in undergraduate education and postgraduate research in the department.
