Is there a link to any information regarding this language? CortlandKlein 02:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IBM 7950 Harvest

Is this the Alpha written for IBM 7950 Harvest? Looking at the "See also" and the categories, it seemed plausible, so I created a redirect from "Alpha (HARVEST programming language)". However, I am not very sure whether I did the right thing! — Pt _(T) 18:00, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- No, this could not be the Alpha language of the Harvest (1962-1976 and used for cryptanalysis) whereas Codd defined ALPHA in 1971 for database queries. JmA (talk) 17:15, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
