Did the CDC 6600 ever have a C implementation?
Dunno about the 6600, but it's decendent the CDC Cyber 180 did. I never
even looked at it (the Algol 60 compiler was more interesting...I have the
manual for that someplace), but I understand it was painful.

Did that C generate code only for 64-bit 180 mode or could it generate
60-bit code too? 64-bit wouldn't be too awful, but 60-bit would seem to be
close to impossible. "2's complement? Whuzzat?"
