Probably written by CompSci staff at York. They certainly wrote a
compiler and an environment to support it.
I suspect it was written entirely by them, but am not sure, as I've
only read a few brief parts of the book. It would be interesting to
know if the code still exists, and could be made publically available
as they used PDP-11/23's, one with a RP02 clone, the other with a
RL02 and floppy. It should be fairly easy to put together the HW to
run the RL02 config (if the RP02 clone config isn't a requirement).
