Note: Copies of many of the above documents should be in the DCS and/or ERCC archives. Other members of the EMAS team may have copies. There may even be machine readable copies of some. Reference copies of the EMAS source code and system were made in December 1970. These should have been kept. There were also paper tape copies made of the KDF9 AA and IMP compilers. Other versions of Edinburgh Software ------------------------------------ While I was at the University of Groningen (1972-1979), we ported a version of IMP onto our PDP11/40 and wrote a mini operating system called GUTS. We then ported IMP onto GUTS and later onto Unix. We also made a version of ECCE in Algol 60 for use on the CDC CYBER. We ported IMP onto the CYBER and students did a number of compiler projects for languages based on IMP. I have ported ECCE onto numerous systems over the years, most recently onto the Macintosh where I rewrote the whole program in Pascal. I also produced a BBEdit ECCE extension. I have Pascal source for these. I've copied this message to former colleagues at Groningen in the hope that they might like to fill in more detail. One of these also worked on modelling EMAS scheduling.
