Yeah, my first thought was a front-end for pre-K&R versions of C.

  Surely you meant "pre-ANSI".

    No, K&R (first edition) is pre-ANSI. I mean pre-K&R. Things like initializers without ‘=’ and compound operators with ‘=’ first.

      How many programs from that era still exist and were not updated over the years? Of those, how many are of the form of "diagnostics program for a 1960s era IBM printer attached to an OS/360 machine using some custom bit of hardware?" For the latter running the process in a browser is probably worthless.

      What are some examples of this software? I think I'm too young to have seen any, though it sounds interesting.

      Hmm... I did not expect that C from 1972 was still in use 15 years later. Interesting!
