for Generalized Programming Compiler

First general library programming system developed by Anatol Holt and William Turanski at UNIVAC in 1951 (coeval with A0 etc)

"The system differs from other compilers, however, in that it aims to provide the programmer with a set of services equally applicable to the solution of any problem--services, in other words, which are claimed to be altogether "general purpose." Therefore, the system contains no special design features which make it better adapted to one area of computation than to another."

Renamed FLEXMATIC by the marketing division
