Wait?  What was tricky about KMCs and DMCs?  They used the same 
algorithms, I had it down cold at the time.
Speaking of which, I have one copy of the KMC-11A Programmer's Guide if 
anyone needs it or would like to scan it?

PS: I used ALGOLW on MTS in one of my ECE classes because we could 
represent processor registers and operations using bit arrays/vectors 
and boolean operations.  Thus building working models of systems in 
code.
