=== 1968: ALGOL 68===
[[ALGOL 68]]'s input and output facilities were collectively referred to as the transput.<ref>"[http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/ALGOL/report/Algol68_revised_report-AB.pdf Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Algol 68]", edited by A. van Wijngaarden, B.J. Mailloux, J.E.L. Peck, C.H.A. Koster, M. Sintzoff, C.H. Lindsey, L.G.L.T. Meertens and R.G. Fisker, Section 10.3.</ref> [[Cornelis H. A. Koster|Koster]]  coordinated the definition of the ''transput'' standard.  The model included three standard channels: <code>stand in</code>, <code>stand out</code>, and <code>stand back</code>.
