Everything about Small totally explained
SMALL, Small Machine Algol Like Language, is a
programming language developed by Dr.
Nevil Brownlee of
Auckland University.
History
The aim of the language was to enable people to write
ALGOL-like code that ran on a small machine. It also included the
string type for easier text manipulation.
SMALL was used extensively from about 1980 to 1985 at
Auckland University as a programming teaching aid, and for some internal projects. Originally written to run on a
Borroughs 6700
Main frame in
Fortran IV, subsequently rewritten in SMALL and ported to a DEC
PDP-10 Architecture (on the
Operating System TOPS-10) and IBM S360 Architecture (on the Operating System VM/
CMS).
About 1984
SMALL had some object oriented features added to handle structures (that were missing from the early language), and to formalise file manipulation operations.
