Relocating is already mentioned in von Neumann's writings (1948) where
it is called "preparatory routine"; see:
Herman H. Goldstine e John von Neumann, Planning and Coding of Problems
for an Electronic Computing Instrument, Part II, Vol. III.
-- Tomasz
[The earliest reference I know is Mauchly, "Preparation of Problems to
EDVAC-typy Machines" in 1947, which describes a relocating loader for
library routines. It's in "The Origins of Digital Computers" edited
by Brian Randall. -John]
