An ALGOLsuperset with high level instructions for low level actions, e.g. interrupting another processor on a multiprocessor system. Itssingle pass compiler was very fast: over 250 lines/s on a 10MHz processor. EsPOL was used to write the MCP (Master Control Program) on the Burroughs 6700. It wassuperseded by NEWP.
