Is the BCPL stuff on the bottom half of the page intended to work on his version of v7/x86?

- Taniwha 6y agoI think it's unrelated - the BCPL tapes included the code you needed to port it and it was from around the same time - making it run on V7 is probably a couple of hundred lines of code for the VM interpreter used in porting
- ta8645 6y agoIt's really not clear why it appears without comment on the same page. My impression is that as a first step you would use BCPL to bring up a C compiler that targets a new machine, and then use it to port UNIX onto the new machine.
