Re: Mainframe vs. Supercomputer

What Fortran compiler besides LRLTRAN/CVC was written in itself?

Hey's it's c.c.'s moderator!
In article <ed4q25$pfd$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, John L <johnl@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
IBM's Fortran H was mostly written in itself. I see from some notes I
found on the web that it was about 27K lines of Fortran and 16K lines
of assembler.

Really? About when was that (release level or something?).
I thought it was mostly assembly language.

It has some poorly documented extensions for structure-like things
that as far as I know were only used in the compiler itself.

Hmmmm.

Gotta run to another meeting.
