The hero
of The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer.
The preface to
the manuals for
the Royal McBee LGP-30 ACT
1 (
Algebraic Compiler and Translator)
compiler (dated
1959) contain
the following attribution from Clay S. Boswell,
Jr. (apparently ACT 1's designer):
I wish to acknowledge my appreciation to
the many people who
offered suggestions and criticisms
of the ACT 1 System. In
particular,
Mel Kaye
of Royal McBee who did
the bulk
of the
programming.
