Apollo's system software is NOT in FORTRAN. Apollo used a few of the RATFOR Software Tools programs for text manipulation & processing, but the *majority of the system* (i.e, the Aegis nucleus, system utilities, superviser code, and system I/O) is in Pascal. What's more it is a clear, modularly designed system, and is reasonably documented as well. [The University of Utah has a source agreement with Apollo, so I know this for a fact].
