| | Data General Business Basic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Data General Business Basic was a BASIC interpreter (based on MAI Basic Four's version) developed by Data General for their Nova minicomputer in the 1970s, and later ported to the Data General Eclipse MV and AViiON computers. | | | Although Data General improved the language in some ways, such as adding multiple-line IF THEN ELSE END IF statements, they failed to lift many of the constraints of the language on the MV machines, such as a 9,999 line maximum, 384 variable limit, and maximum of 16 open files. | | | When Data General ported the language to the MV line, they included two copies of the language, one "double precision", and one "triple precision". |

| | Data General's salvation is the Aviion line, a series of Unix computers. | | | Manufacturers like Data General, of course, loved the old system in which customers were more or less locked into one brand of computers with a large investment in custom-made, nonportable software. | | | But few are beating Data General to the market for cheap mainframe substitutes in commercial computing. |

| | Data General Eclipse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Data General Eclipse line of computers by Data General were 16-bit minicomputers released in early 1974. | | | The Eclipse was based on many of the same concepts as the Data General Nova, but included support for virtual memory and multitasking more suitable to the small office than the lab. | | | Donations are tax-deductible in the U.S. Data General Eclipse |

| | The Development of Hal/S |
| | In 1972, as the shuttle project advanced, the preprocessor approach was dropped and the language was renamed Hal/S (S for shuttle). | | | That is, it was written in Fortran and generated Fortran source code. | | | Anticipating that Hal/S could be applied to any number of flight projects using a variety of flight computers, the new approach was to write compilers in a language customized for compiler writing, XPL, and to use an intermediate language, Halmat." |
