Another example of NOMAD's power is illustrated by Nicholas Rawlings in his comments for the Computer History Museum about NCSS (see citation below). He reports that James Martin asked Rawlings for a NOMAD solution to a standard problem Martin called the "Engineer's Problem": "give 6% raises to engineers whose job ratings had an average of 7 or better."
