  AUTOCODER
       
           Possibly the first primitive {compiler}.  AUTOCODER
          was written by Alick E. Glennie in 1952.  It translated
          symbolic statements into {machine language} for the
          {Manchester Mark I} computer.


       
          Autocoding later came to be a generic term for {assembly
          language} programming.
