He brought Yacc and C with him back to MIT and the Dynamic Modeling PDP-10. He wrote a retargetable C compiler and a host of Unix utilities for ITS. This confused the rest of the users, who couldn't make sense of the terminal after AS has logged off. The C language enjoyed a rather modest success on the ITS operating system; for example the "R" typesetting program and the Dover printer spooler was written using Snyder's C compiler.
