  • Shaw C review of Meto view details Abstract: The Meto language provides about 200 procedures, including many standard statistical, input-output, algebraic, and housekeeping processes, which may be specified in any combination in an (absolute) numerical code. The user must allocate storage for his data from some 8,000 available registers and plan the sequence of processes he needs for his computation. A Meto program consists of a string of instructions, then a string of parameter numbers, then text for report titles, and constant data. A Meto instruction is a pair of numbers: a procedure number and a parameter number, which is a numeric parameter, the address of a parameter, or, for multiparameter procedures, the address of a subsequent string of parameter nurnbers. This seemingly awkward and primitive, though perhaps powerful language is used primarily for statistical processing of meteorological data.
