The languages we used at Pasadena were BPL (Burroughs Programming Language),
a real beast of a language, and SDL (System Development Language), a nice 
language that seemed to be used primarily on the older B1900 etc series 
whose software group used to be in Santa Barbara.

There isn't much at the Pasadena facility any more but a few engineers.
