At the request of a fellow network member, I am posting this 
followup on a request I made earlier for Bliss compilers running
under Unix.

The results: nothing.  Nobody, including the people at Carnegie
Mellon, knows of any version of Bliss which runs on a non-DEC
operating system.  The best that can be done is to have Bliss
generate Macro code and move that code onto a Unix machine to
compile and link there.  Apparently, Bliss does not do any fancy
stuff with Macro, so the conversion to `as' or some such thing 
may not be so difficult.  I am working on a Macro and `as'
translator and will advise in this space if it ever gets
working -- it is low priority on my list, however, so it may be
some time.  Note that there are versions of Macro which run
under Unix, for the pdp-11.  I am working on something for the
VAX (SRI has a translator going from `as' to Macro, but not the
reverse, to my best knowledge -- it comes with Eunice).

If anyone should come up with any leads, please do let me know.
