I don't think BLISS-16 ran on PDP-10, but I could be wrong.

DEC was not only doing emergency fixes for the PDP-11 by the time of Alpha, so I agree. I don't think TLG did anything with the EOL systems by then, they had their hands full with Vax, Alpha and 386; plus all the front ends.</div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> If anyone have the bits, I would be very interested in hearing about it, as I would like to recompile some bits and pieces.

As I say, they have Neil hacking on it again. But I believe that he is only worried about Itanium and INTEL*64 at the moment. I also do not know what they are doing with the front-ends. Clearly, they are working with the BLISS front-end, but I have not idea what HP has them doing for the other languages. I would expect to see C/C++/Fortran brought forward at least through the dialect that DEC/Compaq/HP had at EOL, so customer code will recompile, since I know of OVMS code in those three languages.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Clem</div></div></div></div></div><div hspace="streak-pt-mark" style="max-height:1px"><img alt="" style="width:0px;max-height:0px;overflow:hidden" src="https://mailfoogae.appspot.com/t?sender=aY2xlbWNAY2NjLmNvbQ%3D%3D&type=zerocontent&guid=2ef4396a-dfe2-4db4-9efe-3b9c51e061b0"><font color="#ffffff" size="1">ᐧ</font></div>
