  Voici le mot dans un texte de 1976 (par Edsger Dijkstra).
  Bien qu'il ne soit pas évident que le mot fasse référence à des
  programmes, il donne une idée de l'origine de cette dénomination.

|When the guarded commands had emerged and the word got
|around, a graduate student that was occupying himself mainly
|with business-oriented computer applications expressed his
|doubts as to whether our approaches were of any value outside
|(what he called) the scientific/technical applications area.
|To support his doubt he confronted us with what he regarded
|as a typical business application, viz. the updating of a
|sequential file. (For a more precise statement of his
|problem, see below.)

  (« viz. » est un mot typique de Dijkstra.)

  Tiré de la revue « Popular Electronics » de 1979 : 

|Unlike a calculator - and we're presenting an under-$90
|scientific calculator in this issue, too - computers can make
|logical decisions for an accounting system, navigation computer,
|time-shared computer, sophisticated intrusion system, and
|thousands of other applications. The "power" of Altair 8800
|is such that it can handle many programs simultaneously.
