There is a "C" compiler from MIT which generates MIDAS (?) for ITS. Dave Krusch and I ported this compiler to TOPS-10, and wrote a run-time system which closely resembles UNIX system calls. (This was the "Snyder" compiler). It is a little strongly typed, and generates lukewarm code, but it has been run for several years, and has been a help to have around.

More recently, Jay Lepreau (Lepreau@Utah-20) has implemented a PCC for the PDP-20 running TOPS-20. I believe this also includes a good runtime library. Cheers, -Mike
