Well you could ask Silverfrost who now own it. I think a lot of Salford
Pr1me software was lost.
I wish I could find the X.25 software we wrote...
It was intended to be a stop-gap, to be discarded
when the ICL was >
replaced with PR1ME. However the PR1ME was benchmarked with
Fortran
66.
When Pr1me Fortran 77 was delivered its
performance was "pants" so the
"stop gap" ICL compiler was ported to PR1ME...
Wish we could find that Prime compiler. I think there were one or two
others, as well.
