Hello,
Which was the first C compiler written outside Bell Labs?
I have a candidate in mind. Alan Snyder interned at Bell Labs in 1973.
Later at MIT, we wrote a C compiler for the PDP-10. This would have
been 1974-1975.

I personally am not aware of another any earlier, so if you asked me that
is what I would have said. I'd be curious if you discover an earlier one
and the story behind it.
