Funny that you should mention this. I expect to be speaking with
Martin Richards (by phone) for the first time a couple of hours
from now, and the BCPL book happens to be sitting on the desk next
to me right now. Richards' BCPL system and Cintpos runtime are
quite interesting by the way. Transparent all the way down, just
like Squeak.
