Product Overview
NEWP is a programming language based on ALGOL that enables you to implement system software. Its major application is the Master Control Program (MCP), and thus some features of NEWP are closely tied to the features available in the MCP and underlying hardware.
General Features
Significant differences exist between ALGOL and NEWP. NEWP performs more rigorous type checking than ALGOL does, which helps prevent errors caused by unexpected type conflicts. NEWP provides a number of features that ALGOL lacks, such as modules, user-defined scalar types, and sets. NEWP does not include the environmental software interfaces that ALGOL supports, such as interfaces to Enterprise Database Server for ClearPath MCP or Transaction Server.
