Applications: Overview

Software developments at the Atlas Computer laboratory covered a wide spectrum. There were many deficiencies in the set of compilers available early on and these had to be rectified. Many user groups in need of computer power came to the Laboratory en masse setting up suites of applications programs. Finally, there was particular interest in graphics and animation because of the quality of the Atlas peripherals in those areas.
