TRAC T64 Version
TRAC T64 was developed between 1959-1964 by Calvin N. Mooers. Mooers' goal was to develop a programming language that could be operated interactively from the keyboard of a "reactive typewriter." Growing out of his earlier work on information retrieval systems, Mooers originally envisioned TRAC as a tool that could be used by librarians and others in their everyday work. TRAC T64 was first implemented on a PDP-10 in 1964 by L. Peter Deutsch. TRAC T64 was used until 1984, when Mooers redefined the language in its current version.
