It's interesting that a quick web lookup on DiBOL tends toward the

Early in the 70s, Xerox was looking at a small-business microcomputer
system, called "Merchant". I don't think it ever escaped development;
it used an 8080 and had an implementation of DiBOL. The idea was to use
the established base of DiBOL application.
