Michigan Algorithm Decoder
     
         (MAD) An early programming language, based on
        {IAL}, developed at the University of Michigan by R. Graham,
        Bruce Arden, and Bernard Galler in 1959.
     
        MAD ran on the {IBM 704}, {IBM 709}, and {IBM 7090}, and was
        later ported to {Philco}, {Univac} and {CDC} computers.  It
        was one of the first extensible languages: the user could
        define his own {operators} and {data types}.
     
        {Mad/1} was a later version.
