Hi Tomasz,
Thanks for the link.  I had seen that page but as Jim Stephens mentioned in his reply I was looking for the original 8080 version.  Thanks to him and Phil Budne I now have it.  They separately provided identical copies that had apparently come directly from Ron Cain.  There is also a copy on github that was apparently OCRed and corrected.  I am comparing it now to the others.

I intend to create a page on my website dedicated to Small C.  I will include the original source and probably a few other interesting ports if anyone is interested.  I do think this is an important piece of historical software that should be preserved.

Thanks for finding that!
Will
