It was stolen from my : account on the ARK and got fairly wide distribution. If I recall : correctly, someone put it on a demo machine at the 1980 Chicago DECUS : Symposium. I don't know if it made it to the official tape. But my guess : would be to look around 1980 and 1981 for a copy of DECOMP. I wrote one once. It was called BACBAS. I've got a copy of it on some tape somewhere, and if ya asks nicely, I might see if I can drag it out. I'd have to find an 800 bpi tape drive somewhere... Larry Wall lwall@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov
