Original CAD code in the wild?

A look through the report shows the use of rings, linked lists, recursion, storage considerations, maths, graphics and so on (only needing to replace the light pen with the mouse of course) which could be a fascinating exercise for a student. Yes there are already Sketchpad-named apps and Sketchpad-like programs, but I'm not sure if there is a near-100% faithful recreation of that original program as demoed in the film out there. Steve.
