I have the v6 C source code for a language only two persons on the Earth
knew how to program in -- the author (Mikhail Flyerov) is dead, I'm still
alive (I hope). It is a minimalistic macro-processor with few real neat
features and *very* fast; it was powerful enough to write a Fortran-to-C
converter in it (and some parts of my ISO Pascal compiler for Unix v6 were
written in it). The language is called "Mini-Macro".


I'm too lazy to retrieve it from floppies but if anybody has any
inclination to revive it...
