BWhat changed
A compiling routine selects, adjusts and assembles catalogued subroutines to construct a UNIVAC program from a higher-level specification of routine use.
Scientific scope
A compiling routine selects, adjusts and assembles catalogued subroutines to construct a UNIVAC program from a higher-level specification of routine use. The inspected original pp.243–245 support subroutine assembly, not completion of every proposed symbolic system. This is not a claim that the tool had all properties of a modern compiler or that Hopper alone built the whole UNIVAC environment.
