a The designation Backus et al. indicates the group identified in the
1957
WJCC paper's author list.
b Officially (from IBM files), this work was a straight conversion from the
704 implementation done by the Backus group. Medlock (private correspondence)
attributes the management of this work to Harry Bekish.
c A question mark indicates that the information is unknown. Readers are
invited to correct and/or update the list.
d Also later implemented on the Burroughs 5500, CDC 3600, and Univac 1108.
e Added in 2007 following personal communication from Stanley Hagstrom (PCC).
f Added in 2010 following discussions on UK Fortran mailing list (PCC).
g Added in 2012 following personal communications from Ian Pyle (PCC).
h Updated in 2017 following personal communication from Vincent Taylor (PCC).
i Added in 2017 following personal communication from Vincent Taylor (PCC).
