hal/s
     
         hal/shuttle a real-time high-level language
        for flight control applications.  hal was developed for nasa
        by intermetrics, inc. in the 1970s for on-board software.
        the initial version was a fortran preprocessor, written in
        fortran.  in 1972, as the space shuttle project advanced, the
        language was renamed hal/s and made more adaptable to
        architecture of different computers by using xpl.  in all,
        11 different implementations, mostly based on ibm 360, were
        created.  applications also included projects by jpl
        galileo probe, deep space network.
