Multics does have a C compiler — it may have been developed at Waterloo (or Calgary?). I just checked the pnotice and see that it is copyright Honeywell and AT&T.
It is pretty lame and the run-time library is (obviously) ancient. It includes a c preprocessor, a curses library, make, lint, and a few unix-like commands. — Eric > On Mar 12, 2016, at 11:49 AM, Zane Healy <heal...@aracnet.com> wrote: > > >> On Mar 12, 2016, at 10:49 AM, Charles Anthony <charles.unix....@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> There is a also the GCOS TSS subsystem which is an interactive programming >> environment supporting several languages (Multics includes the BASIC and >> FORTRAN runtimes).
