At NSWIT we used the Whitesmiths C cross compiler to produce code for some Intel 8085
development boards so we could get away from having the students write assembler. Can’t
remember the exact date but it would have been 80s. We also used Xinu, Minix and Amoeba

Watcom is from Watfor which ran on the IBM 7040 back in the 60's. The C compiler was
developed in the 80's and I saw it a lot in the early 90's along with Turbo C.

For no good reason, I've been wondering
about the early history of C compilers that were not derived from Ritchie, Johnson, and
Snyder at Bell. Especially for x86. Anyone have tales?
Were any of those compilers ever used to port UNIX?
