Ben.
But only as cross compilers ... Native C still is
painful on the 8080
or 8086.
Did the PDP-10 have a good C complier?
There were at least two C compilers, but I don't have any experience
with them so I can't comment on how good they were.
Another C trivia question: if you implement standard C on a PDP-10, a
36-bit machine, what are the permissible sizes (in bits) for the char type?
