<p>Your memory jives with mine; I do seem to remember Tops-10 having
a C compiler. Nothing else, I'm afraid.</p>
<p>Once I get a few more things straightened out with disk
allocation, I am going to continue my quest to download all the
DECUS tapes for Tops-10 and Tops-20 and put them on a dual RP07
structure(s). Lots of interesting stuff. If I stumble across it,
I'll let you know.<br>
</p>
<p>Tops-20 has two C compilers that I am aware of. KCC, which is
natively hosted and gnu, which will compile for the PDP-10. I
don't know if the gnu compiler is natively hosted; <i>another</i>
thing I've been meaning to look at.</p>
<p>The integration between C and Tops-10 would be interesting. Make
isn't directly possible as there are no forks. I guess you'd
write a bunch of files into TMPCOR and then go make COMPIL swallow
them.</p>
<p>I always thought it would be neat to have Tops-20 have in memory
files like TMPCOR. However, with a typically loaded system (60+
users), that probably would have been suicidal.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"> I remember using a C compiler under
TOPS-10, but that was far away and very long ago. Can anybody
tell me if my memory is bad, or did that really exist? Was it
