How do you run TCBASX.DG (TC01 Basic Exerciser) and TCRANX.DG (TC01 Random

When I run TCBASX.DG it almost immediately halts. Pressing makes the TC08
controller lights grind but no tape motion. TCRANX.DG is basically the
same.
Is there any documentation for these two programs?
Searching for "TC01 Basic Exerciser" finds that this was originally
called "MAINDEC-08-D3BB".
Search for that finds

The random exerciser is MAINDEC-08-D3RA.
There's apparently some YouTube videos of those diags in operation that
might be of interest.
