C on PDP-10/20

Jon -

       There is a "C" compiler from MIT which generates MIDAS (?) for
ITS.  Dave Krusch and I ported this compiler to TOPS-10, and wrote
a run-time system which closely resembles UNIX system calls.  (This
was the "Snyder" compiler).  It is a little strongly typed, and generates
lukewarm code, but it has been run for several years, and has been a
help to have around.

       More recently, Jay Lepreau (Lepreau@Utah-20) has implemented
a PCC for the PDP-20 running TOPS-20.  I believe this also includes a
good runtime library.
                               Cheers,
                               -Mike
