@ SCL is the system control language used on ICL (now Fujitsu) mainframes
@ running the VME2900 operating system.
@
@ It was originally intended to be used to perform batch flow control
@ (assigning files etc) but was extended and made compilable to be able
@ to perform complex mathematics.

SCL is in my experience (14 years) programming language and interface to operating system (VME) which should be the example for companies developing operating systems how to interract with OS (instead of lots of clumsy scripting or control languages trying to patch something missing).
