Digitek perhaps?


Their compiler is one of several case studies described in
an old tech report that never made it into a book :-(


    author="John Cocke and Jacob T. Schwartz",
    title="Programming Languages and Their Compilers: Preliminary Notes",
    institution="Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences,
                              New York University",
    year=1970




I don't have a copy, but was able to peruse one once.
An important resource for compiler historians.
