Barry Gorman (Systems programmer at Lancashire Poly), who was user "coral66" on tardis.cs.ed.ac.uk, wrote the coral66 compiler for the Argus 500: see ADA084068.pdf ( There was also an Imp77 compiler for the Argus 500 - if memory serves, the people involved may have been Fred King, Rainer Thonnes and Nick Shelness? ) Other non-Edinburgh Coral66 info can be found at http://gtoal.com/languages/coral66 - I coded a few programs in Coral66 at my first job at GEC in 1981 where I was working with Graham Stout for Jeff Tansley. So I guess that does constitute a minor Edinburgh connection...
