Louis Pouzin recently visited us at BTL and described the work on a Pascal version of UNIX. He indicated that the goal was to produce something that would run programs written for UNIX in C or in Pascal. The product was also supposed to incorporate significant modern software engineering tools. One of the motivations was reluctance on the part of the French government to pay Western Electric for the right to use UNIX. Warren Montgomery BTL-IH (312-979-2494) ihnss!warren
