This pages V1.0 "Plus" is the first version, but converted to z80. The 
OP was hunting for the 8080 original.

I think this was posted earlier, but thanks for finding.

I don't know where I got that one, but looks like I grabbed it in 2009.

Thanks to all who responded.  I did a cross port of this compiler to a 
system I had in about 79 or so, when it first came out, and I'm 
interested in it  since it's the first compiler I ever messed with porting.

I sent Will Cook my copies of the 8080, and will let him follow up on 
it.  I've got both the 8080 original source and a version that will run 
on a CPM system or emulator.  I may have to redo my exercise now that 
I've got an emulation of the original system, as well as a CPM system 
emulation.

Thanks
Jim
