You’d have thought the author would have kept a lookup table of the full variable names. Maybe they did, but that was lost.

  I searched but I couldn't find out who this author is/was. Lines like "The author of TASC was very proud of this optimization." makes me think that Raymond Chen is the author, is this right?

    Back of the manual states: Microsoft TASC was developed by James Peck and Michael T Howard

      The post states that it was developed by a single guy though.

        It's possible someone else worked on it later.
