Country: United Kingdom
Designed 1966
Genus: 3G Autocodes
Sammet category: Multi-purpose

IMProved Autocode. Used to code the Edinburgh Multi Access System (EMAS), one of the first OSs written in a high-level language, predating Unix.

Luis Damas' Prolog interpreter in IMP for EMAS, led to C-Prolog.
