Well a cross reference would be nice to know just what ran
and could be cross compiled between machines from the tiny PDP-8
to the larger PDP's. Only major revisions are needed. Take the
PC there was only 4 OS's that I know of when it first came out
CP/M,DOS,Pascal,Forth. Most real software started with the 286.
