PDP-8 Engineering and Scientific Interpreter eXtended
ESI-X was the first stored program scientific interpreter
for the PDP-8.
ESI was designed by Dave Waks on 8/3/66 and was vaguely based on
RAND's JOSS.
In 1967 Bob Supnik extended the program to support 8KW of memory,
and this became the "ESI-extended" or ESI-X
FOCAL was eventually the successor of ESI-X.
