Did I understand correctly that the comment translates to 'We don't know what it does but it's called daily and has been running since 1985 without change'?

My late mother did some programming in a language called "TASMIN" once, which seems to be so obscure I cannot find information on it through a regular Google search, although there are one or two hits at books.google.com such as a 1966 issue of Datamation.
