BCPL was first implemented at MIT early in 1967. It was strongly influenced by CPL
which was a general purpose language developed jointly at Cambridge and London Universities between 1962 and 1966.
BCPL is a very simple typeless language in which all values are of the same size, typically a 32-bit word. It
has a compiler freely available via [[www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mr10]]. This web page also contains several link to other
items including Cintpos an interpretive implementation of the Tripos Portable Operating System and a manual covering
both BCPL and Cintpos.
 
BCPL and Cintpos are still undergoing slow development.
