Now YOU Can Program a Computer in BASIC: A New Dimension in Data Processing

Title
Now YOU Can Program a Computer in BASIC: A New Dimension in Data Processing
Caption
This publication by General Electric advertises their new time-sharing service using “General Electric BASIC.” While Kurtz and Kemeny allowed others to copy or create their own versions of BASIC, some of the student programmers resented GE’s reluctance to credit Dartmouth, going so far as to hide code in the ALGOL compiler they’d created so it printed “Dartmouth ALGOL” every time it ran.
