P. D. Stephens *

The EMAS general purpose time sharing system is notable for being coded entirely in IMP, a high level language, which was developed from Manchester University's Atlas Autocode specifically for system programming.

This paper describes the main features of the language and the implementation used for EMAS.

Received June 1973.
