Since I worked on the Burroughs stuff, I keep up with what Unisys has 
done with it over the years. When I saw that the 2200 stuff was 
available for free, I figured that the MCP stuff would be as well.

Actually I wasn't so interested in MCP, but I liked the stack 
architecture and programming in NEWP (aside from the all caps syntax). I 
missed the good old says when the MCP source code told the illicit story 
of George and Sophia.
