It was written in the PEESPOL system programming language.

	In addition to the TIP functionality (providing groups of [[serial line]]s to which could be attached [[terminal]]s, both hard-wired and via dial-up [[modem]]s, allowing [[user]]s at the terminals access to the [[time-sharing]] hosts attached to the ARPANET), ANTS machines provided a limited amount of additional functionality, such as the ability to store [[file]]s on [[mass storage]] [[peripheral\|devices]] attached to the ANTS machine. [[Magnetic tape drive]]s, [[punched card\|card]] readers and [[printer\|line printers]] could also be attached.
