Abstract

The purpose of the {BBN} time-sharing system is to increase the effectiveness of the {PDP}-1 computer for those applications involving manmachine interaction by allowing each of the five users, each at his own typewriter to interact with the computer just as if he had a computer all to himself. The effectiveness of this interaction is further enhanced by the use of the {TYC} language for controlling the operation and modification of programs.
