Repository files navigation
This directory contains all the files from Martin Richard's "transport" tape, with the exception of the IBM360 object files, which wouldn't be much use to anybody anyway. The first file f01 is the batch job that created the tape and gives you an idea of what the files contain. Probably the most interesting files are the code generators for various machines and the documentation files which suffice as a description of the language BCPL. Note that there are some character translation problems because the tape was read using Unix dd EBCDIC and apparently Cambridge was using a different dialect of EBCDIC. For instance ] is actually ! and so on. In fact if you examine the files with a 8-bit clean editor, you will see that some characters have the 8-th bit on. I haven't taken the trouble to clean the files, so you'll have to do it yourself.
