I have not seen recent mention, but "Machine-Independent Organic
Software Tools (MINT)" by M. Godfrey, H. Hermans, D. Hendry, and R.
Hessenberg was published by Academic Press.  The ISBN for the 1980
printing is 0-12-286980-X.  There was a second, expanded edition.  My
recollection is that the 2nd ed. was accompanied by an Apple II
implementation in addition to the 8080 and Univac 1100
implementations.
