This is interesting, because it's substantial PDP-10 program written in C. By @sraustein.

Depends on #419.

Looks like it was primarily a TOPS-20 program, but maybe ported to ITS?

It was intended that it also run on ITS, but we ran low on ITS machines by the time it was working.

Thanks @sraustein. From the looks of it, it was supposed to be compiled with KCC, not the older C10. Do you know if KCC ever made it to ITS?

Yes, it was written assuming KCC, and no, as far as I can remember, KCC never made it to ITS. Which was one of the main reasons why CHIVES never did either.
