Line 3: SAIL's main feature is a symbolic data system based upon an associative store (based on the [[LEAP (programming language)\|LEAP system]] of Jerry Feldman and Paul Rovner). Items may be stored as unordered sets or as associations (triples). Other features include processes, events and interrupts, contexts, [[backtracking]] and record garbage collection. It also has block-structured macros, a coroutining facility and some new data types intended for building search trees and association lists. A number of interesting software systems were coded in SAIL, including some early versions of [[File Transfer Protocol\|FTP]] and [[TeX]], a document formatting system called PUB,~~{{citation~~<ref>[[Larry ~~needed\|date=October~~Tesler]], ~~2014}}~~[http://www.nomodes.com/pub_manual.html PUB Manual]</ref> and BRIGHT, a clinical database project sponsored by the [[National Institutes of Health]].<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2578281/</ref> <ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=Aq2jBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA479&lpg=PA479&dq=BRIGHT+Decsystem10+nih&source=bl&ots=pxRbPeKBQC&sig=y4q2hkbxVrPUQOjAdIlLOwFpr0w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrguDS45bOAhUL8mMKHZwQBf0Q6AEIHjAA#v=onepage&q=BRIGHT%20Decsystem10%20nih&f=false</ref> <ref>https://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/access/BBGHLW.ocr</ref>
