I still have my CPL manual...  The compiler was archived at Cambridge in 1969.  
I believe that the last person to run a program on it was Robin Fairbairns, 
now back in the Cambridge Lab after working for LaserScan.  It was supposed
to be the only language for Titan (Atlas 2) but for a variety of reasons 
everyone wrote in assembler or Fortran3.  Then came BCPL with Martin Richard's
return from MIT (1969 I think) and .......
