[net.lang.c] BCPL B C

Here at Waterloo, B is to our Honeywell what C is to a UN*X system, i.e.
the operating system is written in it, and it is available to users.

I have just received a mail item from a, presumable, superiorly informed
person. The Honeywell operating system is not written in B. Sorry.

The operating system kernel is written in GMAP (assembler); the utilities
that came with it (i.e. those that were supplied by Honeywell) were also
in GMAP, but over the years they've been almost completely replaced by
new utilities written in B.
