For other languages: I?ve been maintaining the Cyber1 PLATO system from the start of that

Our attention has shifted recently though to the Burroughs B6700 and discussion about
B5500 has gone a little quiet, but there is still much to explore and re-discover (see the
thread about the GTL ALGOL compiler for example - trapped somewhere on a CUBE tape).
