   Who wrote
Amiga-OS?  
 IIRC it was based on Tripos, which came from Dr Martin Richards at 
 Cambridge University... I really must get Tripos running on one of my 
 PDP11s sometime....  
 You are correct. Dr Richards ported Tripos into a machine-independent
 BCPL representation called Cintpos. It will run on most systems, including
 x86 and PowerPC. 
Tripos was also written in BCPL, or at least much of it was. I have the 
sources, and the sources for the BCPL compiler (and guess what that's 
written in...) As I said, one day I must get it running on the PDP11 
again (which is one of the machines it originally ran on).
