Description: Type Justifier is one of the first text formating programs and was used to justify the margins of text. As a student at MIT, Peter Samson had access to the PDP-1 on loan there from Digital Equipment Corporation. In addition to Type Justifier, Samson wrote many other progams for the PDP-1 including the Harmony Compilor, a sophisticated text-based program that allowed users to program the PDP-1 to play music.
