   > Also during this period, the compiler was retargeted to other nearby   
   machines, particularly the Honeywell 635 and IBM 360/370   
      
   Here is a quote from an actual user of the compiler you talk about:   
      
   "So basically, the 370 C compiler on the PDP emitted 370 assembler language   
   which we assembled and linked under VM/CMS."

   So, "retarget" in the quote above means it outputs assembler for that   
   platform...
