As I recall, it was the cross compiler for PL/M that was written in FORTRAN. But that came
first, before any 8080-hosted PL/M compiler.
On the other hand, Intel also had a FORTRAN-80
product, which was unrelated
to Microsoft FORTRAN-80. Intel FOTRAN-80 ran on their MDS development
systems under the ISIS-II operating system, and the compiler was written in
PL/M.
Which is even funnier when you realize that the PL/M compiler
was written in Fortran.
