The term "BCPL" is used frequently in the Developer's manuals and here
on the net. Other than seeing the shifted pointers called BPTR's, I
would appreciate an explanation of what this is all about. Is this all
Sun-related?

Also- Someone commented about device drivers must "be BCPL code".
Can someone clarify?
