uBLISS made it to (internal) field-test. I don't remember how much further it got. That's how I got a chance to use it. No commitment was made as to how much of a subset would finally be delivered but at the time I did not care. I thought that even as slow as it was it was a blast to play with. I remember submitting uBLISS jobs to RSX-11M-PLUS systems (ASTRIX:: and OBELIX::), (Corporate Operations Group, Software Services), while doing real work. It worked for me! -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Tim Sneddon Sent: Monday, October 10, 2011 10:19 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] BLISS-16?

I've seen one reference for uBLISS, but I have no idea of the status of Micro-BLISS was a BLISS compiler that ran on the PDP-11. However, it was not at all successful. Given the size of the BLISS compiler much of the optimisations, etc. had to be removed to make it all fit. I don't believe it was actually completed as a project. that one. Was it even usable? Why did DEC not use it internally for the Bliss stuff for PDP-11s? PDP-11 BLISS was either written on a PDP-10 or VAX. The PDP-11 Fortran IV compiler was written in BLISS-11. DECnet was written in the Common BLISS dialect. Tim.
