My memory is really hazy as I only had a brief exposure to it. I *VAGUELY* remember John ????? sorry I honestly don't remember his last name was either the architect or coauthor of the "language". If someone can confirm or scoff this off, I would be happy either way. Ed Ed, Clem wrote JOL at Shell Australia in the seventies, and then went to the USA to market the product, where I suspect that Standard Oil was one of his customers. I was an operator with Shell at the time and was inspired by Clem and others to move into systems programming.
