Richard's book on BCPL gives as a reference an article in the Computer
Journal 1963 no 6. (Published by the British Computer Soc). I have also
seen a book called (I think) Advances in Non-numerical Computing, published
about that time (edited by Fox) which contains something about it.
You should also look at the FIRST edition of Brian Higman's `Compative
Study of Programming Languages' which discusses some of CPL's features --
the second edition concentrates more on the newer languages.
