1. In a digital computer that has a real time counter and a memory/address bus and that generates binary output data in the form of bytes, each of which is assigned a desired output time and each of which has at least one bit of output information, improved processing of the binary output data comprising the steps of:

  • (a) entering bytes of binary output data together with their assigned desired output times in a stack;

    (b) time-sorting the entries in the stack;

    (c) comparing the desired output time of the binary output data byte in the stack which has the earliest desired output time with the count in the real time counter;

    (d) making the binary output data byte, whose desired output time is compared, available as an output when the real time represented by the count in the real time counter and the compared desired output time correspond.
