Hello, I am trying to locate two programs. The first program is ISP which is an Instruction Set Processor not to be confused with the statistical package of the same name marketed by Berkeley. I would like to find a copy of this written in C so that it can be run under VM/CMS, UNIX, and PRIMOS. The second program that im trying to locate is a BLISS compiler, again not to be confused with the BLSS statistical package marketed by Berkeley. the BLISS im looking for is a programming language. any leads on either of these programs would be apprecriated. thank you. -- ============================================================================= UUCP : {cbosgd | uunet}!ukma!ukecc!beech BITNET: beech%ukecc.uucp@ukma DOMAIN: beech@engr.uky.edu

For ISP, start by contacting its original creator (well, after Bell & Newell), Mario Barbacci, who is still at Carnegie-Mellon. He implemented ISP at the same time I did PMS. That same great institution also created BLISS, which was used some by DEC and even made it onto the 360s via Bell Labs. The head of the original design tem, Bill Wulf, is still connected with CMU too I believe. -- Mike Knudsen Bell Labs(AT&T) att!ihlpl!knudsen "Lawyers are like nuclear bombs and PClones.
