“…Meanwhile GIED had been improved to extend its facilities and to make it what would now be termed 'user‐friendly', and it appeared in its Mark 3 version in February 1961. Other programs were written, notably the Multiple Orthogonal Classifications program (Gower in 1958) that covered many of the more simple factorial designs; in 1962, the first attempt at a General Experiments Program (Yates et al , ) briefly described at the end of the next section.…”

Summary An account is given of the development of statistical computing at Rothamsted. It is concerned mainly with the period from 1954 (when the first electronic computer was delivered) until 1985 (when this article was written). Initially, many specialised programs were written, but it was soon realised that, for efficiency, general‐purpose programs—each unifying many statistical techniques—were required. The development of these programs was gradual and required corresponding developments in statistical theory. Now, the bulk of statistical work, not only for Rothamsted but also for the Agricultural and Food Research Service (AFRS) as a whole, is covered by a few programs, notably Genstat that has an international market. Further developments of these programs are required to make them more accessible to scientists who are not well versed in statistics and to take advantage of technological advances.
