On the Apple II family???
Well, I don't know if the compiler actually ran on the Apple ][ or if
it was cross-compiled, but unless the author of the PFS series *lied*
when he submitted code to "Programmers at Work", it was written in C,
and pooly at that. (i.e. IIRC, his "append two strings" routine which
he included in the snippet for the book traversed both strings twice.)
