From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: clemc@ccc.com (Clem Cole) Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:03:53 -0400 Subject: [TUHS] 11/40E and 11/60 (was: speaking of early C compilers) In-Reply-To: References: <544FD684.6090001@update.uu.se> Message-ID: That SPF shows a date of 1987. Masscomp was '83 for the FP and 84 for the APU and I know we could not get them - but then again KO was mad at us. At that point we had more of the 780 HW guys then DEC did, plus a bunch of ex-VMS and ex-LDP folks. The nasty-gram letter from Ken was framed and hung out the office of one of the VPs (I wonder if Palmer of one of the other Masscomp pack rats still has a picture of it). I know we tried to get it for our Vax, and it was a clear - no way.
