for Business Input-Output Rerun

Autocode for  UNIVAC

Dr. Herbert F. Mitchell, Jr., UNIVAC

Describe by Hopper (1955) "This is the pioneer - the first of the true data-processing compilers."

Hopper (1955) type 2 - Compiling routines - system

Martin Goetz (who used it) states:
BIOR, my first lesson in computer manufacturers' promises about future software developments, was never fully completed or debugged. One user noted, "The Input-Output didn't work, and they never delivered the Rerun. The only thing they gave us was the Business."
