   • A good program lister is helpful here, since many language processors allow multi-statement lines. For BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL, and similar languages, the lister can split multi-statement lines, ensure there are blanks between keywords […] 1984, John C. Nash, Effective scientific problem solving with small computers, page 113:
2. A person or organisation that creates or maintains lists.
