[I tried to mail this response, but wasn't able.]

If you look at page 212 of Kernighan and Ritchie, (Appendix A, section 16) it
notes that the order of evaluation is right to left on the PDP-11, and left to
to right on the others.  I presume the others are the Honeywell 6000, IBM 370,
and Interdata 8/32 which are mentioned in Appendix A.  Of course that was almost
a decade ago.
