Dartmouth BASIC

    The original BASIC language, designed by John
   G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College in 1963.
   Dartmouth BASIC first ran on a GE 235 [date?] and on an IBM
   704 on 1964-05-01.  It was designed for quick and easy
   programming by students and beginners using Dartmouth's
   experimental time-sharing system.  Unlike most later BASIC
   dialects, Dartmouth BASIC was compiled.
