   As I understand it, it came from somewhere in Europe.   
      
   If one is really interested, IBM will still sell you the PLM for the   
   OS/360 Algol compiler.  (That is, Program Logic Manual, that explains   
   in detail how the compiler works.)  I believe it is the only OS/360   
   manual still for sale by IBM.
