Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

Arguments are presented which demonstrate the equivalence of computers (both real and virtual) and programming languages. The machine which job control languages are equivalent to is shown to be a virtual one: operating systems. A suggestion is made that a high level, portable job control language is feasible, and some suggestions as to features of the language are made.
