Wow, you actually used BCPL? I didn't realize the language ever had any
real use. I had only ever heard of it in the context of being a C
precursor, mentioned once in an introduction of a paper and never heard
from again.
It probably wasn't an accident that Martin Richards was the lecturer :-)
Seriously, though, it was an excellent teaching language, and a slightly
bastardized version of the compiler was readily available on the communal
BBC Micros.
