Hmm. I've found the source code for that compiler (/usr/source/fort in the
v6 distribution) but there doesn't seem to be an attribution. The man page
seems to be dated 8/20/73, but again lacks attribution; perhaps Ken wrote
it?

I was not clear, evidently, although part of this is my memory's fault :-)
There was a fortran compiler on v6, written in assembly. I was wondering
who wrote it.

Funny but: I once had a compile fail on Motorola's MPL compiler, which was
written in fortran. It had so many continued comment lines that the 16-bit
column number went negative, and I got a fairly obscure error.
Anyone remember who wrote it?
