Abstract
The purpose of the BBN time-sharing system is to increase the effectiveness of the PDP-1 computer for those applications involving manmachine interaction by allowing each of the five users, each at his own typewriter to interact with the computer just as if he had a computer all to himself. The effectiveness of this interaction is further enhanced by the use of the TYC language for controlling the operation and modification of programs.
