Many of us were influenced by that work. I would have been just leaving SofTech at that time and joining Pr1me Computer (where my reference to the term came from. By the way, I did not work at TSI, just to be clear, just maintained their compiler backends while at Pr1me.) I don't recall either way whether the term was used at SofTech. I was simply too junior at that time. -- ******************************************************************************.
