Abstract
As an experiment in problem-oriented computer languages a system was developed to aid applications engineers in composing text for equipment proposals to customers. Building the proposal writer system around FORTRAN II enabled the system to be completed quickly and with modest effort. The use of the system is still considered experimental; however, the language is presented in the belief that it qualifies as a language topic with an engineering flavor.
