Hi Tomasz, Thanks for the link. I had seen that page but as Jim Stephens mentioned in his reply I was looking for the original 8080 version. Thanks to him and Phil Budne I now have it. They separately provided identical copies that had apparently come directly from Ron Cain. There is also a copy on github that was apparently OCRed and corrected. I am comparing it now to the others. I intend to create a page on my website dedicated to Small C. I will include the original source and probably a few other interesting ports if anyone is interested. I do think this is an important piece of historical software that should be preserved. Thanks for finding that! Will
