Scope FORMAC(ID:8197/)

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1968

Interactive (?Joss-like?) FORMAC dialect by Tobey IBM

Discontinued support by IBM in 1969 according to van Hulzen 1973

"When the system was operational
it ran in a 256 K partition of an IBM 360/50 with
an IBM 2250 graphic display unit as I/0 device.
The system was last operational in January 1969,
at which time IBM decided to support it no
longer."
