    The NEAT/3 language is a much lower-level language; basically it is an assembly language for the NCR Century computers that provide COBOL-style data declarations. Most of its "instructions" translate one-for-one into Century machine instructions, though it does automatically insert code to convert data types from one format two another if the data types of an instruction's operands are incompatible.
